Patent number: 7552619Abstract: A sensor, method and system, for measuring certain characteristics of a fluid. The sensor utilizes a piezoelectric device having at least two tightly coupled resonators providing a two pole electric transfer function responsive to an electrical signal coupled to the input resonator. The piezoelectric sensor has a textured entrapment layer, constructed to entrap a known volume of fluid and impart motion to the entrapped fluid as well as to surrounding non-trapped fluid. The common mode frequency shift of the two resonant frequencies is related to mass loading due to the entrapped fluid, while the energy absorbed by the fluid, or a phase shift of one of the resonant frequencies, is related to the viscosity/density product of the fluid. Extracting the viscosity is a matter of mathematical manipulation. By controlling the energy level of the input electrical signal, the viscosity measurement may be conducted at a predetermined shear rate.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2004Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: Vectron International, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey C.

Patent number: 7529561Abstract: The invention enables a reliable end-to-end monitoring system by means of which the location of containers and other conditions related to the containers can be continuously or almost continuously monitored. The containers are equipped with such container units that are capable to co-operate with each other, which is especially needed in challenging radio environments. The co-operation of the container units is based on mesh network algorithms. Each container unit placed in a container includes a short range radio and a cellular network radio. Thus, the container unit is able to connect to two different types of communication networks. In addition, each container unit uses a certain connection set-up logic. When a set-up attempt results in a connection, the container transmits its message through the connection. The invention comprises the container unit, a mesh network composed of container units, and a system reporting container events.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2006Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Inventors: Tero Heinonen, Pauli Noronen

Patent number: 7302480Abstract: The invention relates to the monitoring of the flow of a data stream travelling between a client and a server system. The invention is intended particularly for such communications protocols carrying representation data above some connection-oriented protocol layer. The objective of the present invention is to bring about a flow monitoring mechanism enhancing system security. This is achieved by analyzing a data stream travelling from the server to the client in order to identify at least one response descriptor in the data stream. The identified response descriptors are stored in a set of available states for said client. Then the data stream travelling from the client to the server is analyzed in order to identify at least one request descriptor. The request descriptors identified are compared with the set of available states for said client, and in response to the comparing step, a monitoring result is generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2003Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Stonesoft CorporationInventor: Jesse Lahtinen

Patent number: 7233002Abstract: The current invention presents designs of SPECT gamma cameras without the in-out mechanical motion of the detectors. The elimination of this motion is achieved by the implementation of iterative algorithms, such as Resolution Recovery and/or Wide Beam Reconstruction, which compensate for the Line Spread Function effect due to the collimator characteristics. The use of these methods enables construction of SPECT gamma cameras with a range of novel designs, having their gamma detector (or detectors) orbiting the patient in a predetermined orbit of fixed radius. For example, the radius might be chosen as such that the majority of all patients can be scanned by the system. The advantages of the invention are applicable for gamma cameras with any numbers of detectors.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2004Date of Patent: June 19, 2007Assignee: Ultraspect Ltd.Inventors: Israel Ohana, Shoulamit Cohen Shwartz
