  • Calibration and operational assurance method and apparatus for RFID object monitoring system
    Patent number: 8451121
    Abstract: A method for monitoring objects in a three dimensional target area and or business process decision making. The methods include calibration, recalibration, operation and rules compliance for a radio frequency object monitoring system. Location tags are placed throughout a three dimensional area in predetermined positions and used to determine relative position, movement and or distances of objects with and without object tags. Repeated scanning and comparison of data provides a database by which the object monitoring system responds according to predetermined rules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2013
    Assignee: PF Controls, LLC
    Inventors: Christopher Derek Hook, Graham P. Bloy, Thomas Ellinwood, Christopher Gordon Gervase Turner

  • Multi-parameter high throughput screening assays (MPHTS)
    Publication number: 20050181433
    Abstract: The present invention relates to screening methods and assays that are referred to herein as multi-parameter hight throughput screening (MPHTS) assays. These MPHTS assays are useful for identifying candidate pharmaceutical compounds. In particular, the screening methods of this invention may be used to identify compounds that have potential therapeutic benefits for the treatment of neuropscyhiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder (BAD), autism and Alzheimer's disease to name a few.
