Abstract: Systems and methods described herein use near field communications to locate a radiating transponder, such as a pill swallowed by a patient. The system can be triggered to turn on and transmit an amplitude shift keyed waveform (or other type of waveform) to a set of antennas attached to, coupled with, or near the patient at roughly known locations. The magnetic field emitted by the transponder can be measured by the receiving antennas, for example, using principles of mutual inductance. The differential phase and/or time shifts between the antennas can contain sufficient information to find the location of the transponder and optionally its orientation relative to body coordinates. The system can display the location and/or orientation of the transponder and may optionally provide other information about the movement, flow, or other characteristics of pill to assist clinicians with diagnosis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the method to identify the source of a signature signal by processing sparse digital data collected by a sensor system in a laboratory, field, or other application. The invention specifically addresses weak, obscured, or partially sampled signatures collected by a sensor system. The method takes advantage of all sources of data using an innovative method that uses Bayes Theorem for performing probability arithmetic and statistical inference. The method requires an exclusive and exhaustive library of candidate signatures. The method finds the most likely signature candidate from the library that has the highest likelihood of being responsible for the measured signal. In addition, the method can work with mixtures of library candidates to find the most likely mixture that explain the data. The method is applicable to a variety of sensor systems that collect and digitize data as signal strength (ordinate) versus measurement attribute (abscissa).

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein use near field communications to locate a set of antennas attached to, coupled with, or near the patient. A signal emitted by an antenna in the set of antennas can be received by the other antennas in the set. A second signal can be further transmitted from another antenna in the set. The differential phase and/or time shifts between the antennas from the multiple signal transmissions can contain sufficient information to find the locations of the antennas in antenna centric coordinates. The antenna locations can then be used to find a location of a pill transmitter swallowed by the patient.
