Patents by Inventor A. Katrin Schenk

A. Katrin Schenk has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9152851
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the analysis of the diverse behaviors of animal subjects in defined areas are provided, including tools for filtering and analysis of high-resolution behavioral data. These systems and methods provide an opportunity to examine behavioral patterns with levels of precision and quantization that have not been previously achieved. Methods and systems for managing and analyzing the very large and unique datasets produced by behavioral monitoring systems, including quality assessment and control, archiving, data query, data reduction, analytical procedures and visualization techniques are provided. Such detailed analyses of spontaneous behavior provide fundamental insights into the neural organization of behavior and enable detection of genetic, pharmacological and environmental influences on brain function with high sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 9106718
    Abstract: Techniques are described to collect data via a client device, such as a mobile phone. The data, referred to as “lifespace data,” comprises one or more measurements of an individual's functionality, a transmitter identification associated with a transmitter positioned in a discrete area (e.g., a room in a subject's residence), and a timestamp indicating when the transmitter identification was transmitted or received. One or more transmitters can be positioned in one or more discrete areas (e.g., throughout an individual's residence or workspace), with each transmitter configured to transmit a unique transmitter identification. In implementations, a transmitter comprises a Bluetooth beacon, and a transmitter identification comprises a Bluetooth identification number. The client device may be configured to provide the lifespace data to a server for storage, analysis, and intervention functionalities.
