  • Patent number: 11740202
    Abstract: The presence of biomarkers or other analytes can be detected in the bodily fluid using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) or Electrochemical Capacitance Spectroscopy (ECS) in devices, such as handheld point-of-care devices. The devices, as well as systems and methods, utilize using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) or Electrochemical Capacitance Spectroscopy (EIS) in combination with an antibody or other target-capturing molecule on a working electrode. Imaginary impedance or phase shift, as well as background subtraction, also may be utilized.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110014984
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods for personality adoption of online game peripherals interacting with an online game server having multiple online game states. Methods disclosed include techniques for associating a personality with a personality-adopting mobile game peripheral capable of holding a game state at least partially adopted from the game peripheral personality component (e.g. a faceplate, a shell, a key, etc). Additionally techniques are provided for uploading personality-imbued game state to the online game server; and for retrieving personality-imbued online game states to the first personality-adopting mobile game peripheral. Some embodiments involve multiple game peripheral personality components and corresponding personality-adopting mobile game peripherals in a peer-to-peer relationship. Peer-to-peer embodiments include techniques for associating a second personality, using a second game peripheral personality component, with a second personality-adopting mobile game peripheral.

  • Publication number: 20100274902
    Abstract: A system and method for actuating a visible persistent physical change to a game peripheral during interaction with an online game server having multiple game states. The method includes steps for establishing a connection between a game peripheral and an online game server, associating the game peripheral with at least one game state, retrieving from the online game server at least one bit for downloading to the game peripheral, and actuating at least one electro-mechanical component of the game peripheral for morphing the game peripheral. Morphing of the game peripheral produces at least one visible persistent change to the game peripheral, including locking or unlocking components of the game peripheral, changing physical shape, or other mode of changing the visible appearance of the game peripheral. Some embodiments include a second game peripheral for communicating state to a first game peripheral, and actuating an electro-mechanical component of the first game peripheral.
