Abstract: Systems and methods for passive and/or active wireless sensor networks with augmented telemetry using coupled magnetic resonances in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a wireless sensor network is provided, the wireless sensor network comprising a transmitter configured to couple with a reader, a receiver configured to couple with a sensor, wherein the sensor is configured to detect at least one parameter and generate sensor data, wherein the sensor data maps onto the receiver, and wherein the transmitter and the receiver are inductively coupled creating a link between the reader and the sensor.

Abstract: Embodiments herein are directed to a system and a method of selectively manipulating magnetically-barcoded materials from background magnetic materials. Magnetic barcodes include layers of magnetic anisotropy. These are then manipulated by a magnetic system that can drive spatio-temporal magnetic fields that can “match” a barcode to drive a specific interaction, thereby providing a “lock-key” interaction. This technique is able to selectively manipulate magnetically-barcoded materials, and can have applications across a variety of magnetic systems such as cell separation, drug delivery, valves, and motors.
