  • Publication number: 20240130618
    Abstract: An implantable device for detecting biomarkers in animals, the device comprises: a sensor comprising: a pair of electrodes spaced apart from each other, the pair of electrodes having a first capacitance; an oscillator configured to oscillate at a first frequency and output a first signal at the first frequency; wherein the sensor is configured to receive an amount of biological fluid wherein the biological fluid causes the capacitance of the pair of electrodes to change from the first capacitance to a second capacitance; wherein the oscillator is coupled to the pair of electrodes and arranged such that a change in the capacitance of the pair of electrodes causes a change in oscillation of the oscillator from the first frequency to a second frequency; and wherein the oscillator is configured to output a second signal at the second frequency, the second signal indicative of a biomarker in the biological fluid.

  • Patent number: 6847806
    Abstract: An electronic radiotelephone comprising a first housing, a second housing, and an inner housing having retaining means for retaining to the inner housing the electronic components of the radiotelephone; and first releasable attaching means for releasable attaching the first housing to the inner housing, wherein the first housing, when attached to the inner housing, is presented towards a user during operation of the radiotelephone; and second releasably attaching means for releasable attaching the second housing to the inner housing, wherein the second housing, when attached to the inner housing, faces away from the user during operation of the radiotelephone.

  • Patent number: 6130650
    Abstract: A curved inverted-L and F antenna is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment a curved inverted-F antenna 300 comprising a capacitative line 206 and inductive stub 204 is disposed above a correspondingly curved ground plane 308. Preferably, the separation between the capacitative line 206 and ground plane 308 is substantially constant and of the order of one tenth of the wavelength of the operating frequency of the antenna. Suitably the short circuit element of the antenna and the feed track 402 are non-parallel which has the effect of improving the radiated field in a short circuit direction.
