Patent number: 10264993Abstract: A system and methods for scanning and analyzing one or more characteristics of a sample utilizing electromagnetic radiation is described. More particularly, the system and methods utilize an electromagnetic radiation source connected to a transmitter and an analyzer connected to a receiver. A sample to be analyzed is placed between the transmitter and receiver and a frequency sweep of electromagnetic radiation is transmitted through the sample to create a series of spectral data sets, which are developed into a composite spectrogram by the analyzer and processed to determine one or more characteristics of the sample. A magnetic field can alternatively be applied around the transmitter, receiver and sample to enhance some characteristic analysis applications and to make other characteristic analysis applications possible. Samples include inert and living items and the characteristics include a wide variety of different applications.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2007Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: RF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Erin Claude Looney, David James Harra

Patent number: 8647273Abstract: Systems and methods for weight and performance management are described. More particularly, an embodiment relates to a system and method of employing a non-invasive, real-time, continuous blood glucose monitoring device to measure glucose levels in a subject. The determined levels are subsequently used to manage the subject's caloric intake and utilization multiple times during the course of a day.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2009Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: RF Science & Technology, Inc.Inventors: David James Harra, Jacquelyn Fuzell, Timothy Daniel Casey

Patent number: 8647272Abstract: Systems and methods for non-invasively scanning and analyzing one or more characteristics of a sample utilizing electromagnetic radiation are described. More particularly, the systems and methods utilize an electromagnetic radiation source connected to a transmitter and an analyzer connected to a receiver. A sample to be analyzed is placed between the transmitter and receiver in a variety of different manners and a frequency sweep of electromagnetic radiation is transmitted through the sample to create a series of spectral data sets that are used to create one or more composite spectrograms, which are then analyzed to determine one or more characteristics of the sample. A magnetic field can alternatively be applied around the transmitter, receiver and sample to enhance some characteristic analysis applications. Samples include inert and living items, and the characteristics include a wide variety of different applications.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2009Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: RF Science & Technology IncInventors: David James Harra, Peter F. Mastin, Mark Norman Iverson, Rick Eugene Sanner, Martin Albert Hutchinson

Patent number: 8259299Abstract: Systems and methods for scanning and analyzing characteristics of a gas sample utilizing electromagnetic radiation are disclosed. More particularly, the systems and methods utilize an electromagnetic radiation source connected to a transmitter and an analyzer connected to a receiver. A sample gas volume to be analyzed is placed between the transmitter and receiver and a frequency sweep of electromagnetic radiation is transmitted through the sample to create a series of spectral data sets, which are developed into a composite spectrogram by the analyzer and processed to determine the one or more characteristics of the sample. A magnetic field can alternatively be applied around the transmitter, receiver and sample to enhance some characteristic analysis applications and to make other characteristic analysis applications possible.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2009Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: RF Science & Technology Inc.Inventors: David James Harra, Rick Eugene Sanner, Mark Norman Iverson
