  • Patent number: 7528719
    Abstract: A system and method of asset sealing and tracking includes a first RFID device with a first identity that is permanently affixed to a container door, and removable second RFID device with a second identity is coupled to the first RFID device—and inserted through a locking hasp of the container door. The first RFID device inherits the second identity of the second RFID device thereby automatically associating the two devices. Thereafter the first RFID device broadcasts both identities. When the second RFID device is opened, so that the container door is allowed to open, the first RFID device can sense this and change its broadcast message to include that the second RFID device was opened.

  • Patent number: 7400247
    Abstract: A device and method of sealing a container comprises a mechanical bolt (201?) with a circuit disposed thereon. The circuit includes RFID function. When a captivating device (203) is joined with one end of the bolt (201?) the RFID circuit changes state and operates to transmit symbolic data. When the bolt is severed or cut off the RFID circuit again changes state and operates to transmit other symbolic data.

  • Patent number: 7272428
    Abstract: A method and system for wireless ECG monitoring is provided. An electrode connector, transmitter and receiver operate with existing electrodes and ECG monitors. The electrode connector includes connectors for attaching to disposable or reusable single electrodes. The transmitter transmits the signals from the electrodes to the receiver. The receiver passes the electrode signals to the ECG monitor for processing. ECG monitors used with an electrical conductor, for example wire connections to electrodes, are connected with the receiver, avoiding the purchase of a new monitor. Any legacy ECG monitor, including different ECG monitors, connects with the receiver using the ECG monitor's lead-wires. The ECG monitor operates as if directly connected to the electrodes without the problems discussed above associated with wires running from the ECG monitor to the patient.

  • Patent number: 6693535
    Abstract: A passenger compartment monitoring and control system provides for remote control of an undesirable condition inside a vehicle. The passenger compartment monitoring and control system includes an undesirable condition sensor disposed in the interior of the car that detects the undesirable condition. In response to a signal from the sensor, a controller contained within the vehicle and operably coupled to the sensor generates at least one control signal based on the comparison. A wireless communication device operably coupled to the controller then transmits a wireless signal in response to the at least one control signal. The transmitted wireless signal may be received by a vehicle operator's mobile station or by a call center, which are each capable of then engaging in remedial actions to remotely ameliorate the undesirable condition.
