Patent number: 8049602Abstract: The present invention describes a car anti-theft system. Specifically, the present invention has an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) patterned onto a visible surface of a vehicle. Vehicle theft is recognized when an unauthorized driver fails to enter a predetermined code, resulting in lighting of OLED. Lighted OLED may be seen by passers-by who may then alert police that a car is in the process of being stolen. Alternatively and additionally, OLED's may be integrated into primary car alarm systems so as to add an additional, visual, layer of car protection.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2008Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Inventors: Alan Joseph Bauer, Philippe Daniel Blumenthal, Dorit Shiff

Patent number: 6503701Abstract: A sensor for detecting analytes of interest is described. Analyte presence or concentration is determined through measurement of changes in induced electromotive force, current or other electrical property in a sensor strip during analyte exposure to the sensor. According to one class of embodiments, the present device immobilizes natural or synthetic macromolecules sufficiently close to an electrically-conductive base member to insure that interaction of analyte with the macromolecules will lead to altered de novo electrical signals in the sensor strip of base member and macromolecules. Performance of the sensor is enhanced by the use of resistance-modifying element in a circuit that includes the sensor strip, and by an adhesive agent disposed between the base member and at least one electrical lead of a detection unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2001Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Biosensor Systems Design, Inc.Inventor: Alan Joseph Bauer

Patent number: 6342347Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor for analyte detection. The sensor makes use of changes in electrostatic fields associated with macromolecular binding agents during their interaction with analytes. Specifically, analyte presence leads to increases in magnetic flux generated by the motions of the binding agent electrostatic material. Magnetic or induced electrical signals may be monitored for change in order to detect analyte in a sample of interest.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1999Date of Patent: January 29, 2002Assignee: Biosensor Systems Design., Inc.Inventor: Alan Joseph Bauer

Patent number: 6096497Abstract: The device described herein is an enzyme-based biosensor for detecting and/or quantifying molecules of interest. The biosensor relies on the following properties shared by all enzymes: (1) that enzymes are highly specific molecules designed to bind with only one analyte type or one class of analyte molecules; (2) that enzymes contain charges; (3) that enzymes undergo significant spacial fluctuation during periods of interaction with substrates; and (4) that these spacial fluctuations cause the charged moieties on the enzyme to move and thus generate a measurable electrostatic potential (voltage) in both the enzyme and support layers. The instant device determines analyte presence/concentration through measurement of changes in voltage or current in a conducting or semiconducting support material as a result of changes in the position of immobilized charged enzyme molecules during their interaction with analyte.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Biosensor Systems Design, Inc.Inventor: Alan Joseph Bauer
