Abstract: A system for measuring and reporting changing levels of liquids in a storage tank includes a sensing device having a fluid level sensor, an accelerometer, a wireless transceiver, and a microcontroller for detecting the volume of liquid in the storage tank in response to determining that the storage tank is not moving and sending an alert message if the volume of liquid in the storage tank has changed from a previous volume by a threshold amount. The system also includes a central tracking computer having a tracking database and being interfaced to the Internet, and a master control unit attached to the storage tank. The master control unit is for: receiving the alert message from the sensing device; obtaining the location of the storage tank; and communicating the alert message and the location of the storage tank to the central tracking computer for storage in the tracking database.

Abstract: A device attached to an outside surface of a shipping container for tracking the shipping container includes a solar panel, a battery, a GPS receiver module, a cellular data transceiver module, and a microcontroller for controlling the GPS receiver module and the cellular data transceiver module to periodically obtain the location of the shipping container and transmit the location to a tracking database of a central tracking computer. The solar panel, battery, GPS receiver module, cellular data transceiver module and microcontroller are integrated into a one-piece, watertight master control unit. The master control unit may further include a local wireless network master transceiver module. The local wireless network master transceiver module is for communicating with a wireless sensor located within the shipping container through the walls of the shipping container.

Abstract: A wireless biopotential monitoring system composed of a wireless electrode module which can be attached to a disposable electrode strip. Such device can be conveniently affixed to a patient's skin and will transmit the physiological signals to a remote receiver where the signals can be monitored by a clinician.

Abstract: A wireless biopotential monitoring system composed of a wireless electrode module which can be attached to a disposable electrode strip. Such a device can be conveniently affixed to a patient's skin and will transmit the physiological signals to a remote receiver where the signals can be monitored by a clinician. The device is powered by a fuel-air battery. The device would remain packaged in an airtight package until it needs to be applied at which time either the wounded soldier would apply the device himself/herself or it would be applied by another soldier or corpsman. The device would begin to measure brainwave activity, heart rate, and dissolved oxygen level. The device would also identify the wounded soldier's location using the onboard GPS receiver. The physiologic data along with the soldier's position would then be transmitted to a remote receiver.

Abstract: A biopotential measurement system incorporates a revolutionary approach to the acquisition of signals such as Electroencephalograms (EEG), Electrocardiograms (ECG), and Electromyograms (EMG) by incorporating active, digital electrodes that amplify and digitally convert biopotential signals at the source, thereby eliminating noise and signal degradation issues. This is to date the most integrated and advanced electrode designed for any biopotential measurement eliminating the poor Signal-to-Noise (SNR) problems seen in biopotential recordings.

Abstract: A monitoring device for a laboratory animal may include an inductive power receiver, a sensor, and a data transmitter. The inductive power receiver may be configured to generate electrical power responsive to an electromagnetic field, and the sensor may be configured to generate an electrical signal responsive to an aspect of the laboratory animal being monitored. The data transmitter may be configured to wirelessly transmit data responsive to the electrical signal generated by the sensor and responsive to the electrical power generated by the inductive power receiver.
