Patent number: 7817040Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) system having the capacity to detect conditions of alignment, wherein the system may be used with hand-held, fixed-in-place, stationary, and permanently mounted apparatus. The system includes an RF interrogator configured for use with dental x-ray, medical imaging, film, and digital radiography apparatus, and may include a multiplicity of RF transponders or interrogators. An RF interrogator, an RF transponder, and an x-ray sensitive imaging device, and its holder are configured to be critically aligned to a dental x-ray machine head apparatus, rendering repeat imaging unnecessary. The x-ray emitter may be further configured to automatically obtain a desired x-ray image or configured so that the device cannot activate and provide a radiograph until alignment with the transponder and associated x-ray sensitive imaging device has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2008Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: ABR, LLCInventors: Ramin Homanfar, Bela Incze, David Massey

Publication number: 20080169908Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) system having the capacity to detect the parameter of alignment, wherein the system may be used with hand-held, fixed-in-place, stationary and permanently mounted apparatus. The system includes an RF transponder configured for use with dental x-ray, medical imaging and digital radiography apparatus The system may include a multiplicity of RF transponder carrier transmit/data receive coils, each resonant to the same or differing frequencies. An RF tag, an RF transponder and an x-ray film holder are configured to be critically aligned to a dental x-ray machine head apparatus, rendering repeat imaging unnecessary. The x-ray head apparatus may be further configured to automatically obtain a desired x-ray image or configured so that the device cannot activate and provide a radiograph until alignment to an RF tag device has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2007Publication date: July 17, 2008Applicant: ABR, LLCInventors: Ramin Homanfar, Bela Incze, David Massey

Patent number: 7319396Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) system having the capacity to detect various geometric parameters of alignment. The described system is configured for use with dental x-ray, medical imaging and treatment, and customary and digital radiography apparatus, but is not restricted to such apparatus or applications. The system may include a multiplicity of RF transponders, RF tags, and RF readers, wherein each RF tag may include one or more carrier receive/data transmit coils and wherein each RF reader may include one or more carrier transmit/data receive coils, and wherein each coil of an RF tag or RF reader may resonate at one or more, and/or, at the same or differing frequencies. An RF tag located about an x-ray sensitive film or device, and an RF reader located about a dental x-ray machine or apparatus, are configured to be critically aligned, one to the other, rendering repeat imaging unnecessary.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2005Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: ABR, LLCInventors: Ramin Homanfar, Bela Incze, David Massey

Patent number: 6517851Abstract: A pesticide composition that includes a metabolite from a fungus selected from homeocarpic basidiomycetes and homeocarpic ascomycetes is produced. In one embodiment, the fungus from which the metabolite is derived is one grown under conditions effective to substantially suppress fruiting of the fungus. More particular the pesticide compositions are provided comprising a fungal metabolite derived from a fungus selected from the group Ganoderma spp., Lactiporus spp. Lentinus spp. Morchella spp., and Pleurotus spp. The pesticide composition may be produced by culturing the fungus on a medium containing vegetable oil and a surfactant. Alternatively a filtrate from a culture of the fungus is added to the medium containing vegetable oil and a surfactant, and mixed until pesticidal activity develops.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1999Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: ABR, LLCInventor: Bryan Hiromoto
