  • Patent number: 11808713
    Abstract: An ion-jet electron-entangled pathogens analyzer imprinted on a test strip resembles the functionality of a scanning tunneling microscope as a hand-held device, to quickly detect pathogens in water and food products on their bioelectrical signature. The use of such a device does not require special training or preparation. The test strip consists of an integrated circuit which gets energized and communicates over a weak alternating electric field provided by a matchbox-sized base station, which also contains a trained machine learning module of bioelectrical pathogen signatures. The base station connects wirelessly to smart devices or networks for further processing or recording the measurement results in a blockchain. The base station can be worn as a smartwatch or attached to processing machines, transportation vehicles, warehouses, shelves and grocery stores.

  • Publication number: 20210275077
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel hybrid of a device combined with independent integrated multi sensing automats that measures up to 64 different vital signs simultaneously and battery free(!). This device includes a glue-free suction patch, easy to attach to a patient's neck, wrists, temples (or selected body parts, if required). A base station contains electronic parts that provide a weak alternating electric field (AeF), which propagates over the patient's skin with no harm, to power and communicate with the suction patch. The electric field is bi-directionally data-modulated (proprietary phase-duplex) while remotely powering the chip at the same time. The suction patch gets a sequence from the base station to create desired vital signs sensors temporarily on-the-fly and sends the digitized sensing values radiation-free(!) continuously to the base station, which wirelessly connects to networks, computers, SmartDevices and applications.

  • Patent number: 11093042
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for allowing users to capacitively interact with objects using gestures in an environment. The system includes a smart sense unit for communicating gesture information and a smart sensing master unit is capacitively coupled to the smart sense unit for identifying the received gesture information and identification information from the smart sense unit to operate the object. The gestures may either be 2D, 3D, multiple 2D or 3D gestures from different users or different body parts. The smart sense unit identifies the change in a provided electric field caused by the user and the object and converts into a digital value. The smart sense unit further identifies the location of the object and the user and further communicates the information to the smart sensing master unit. The smart sensing master unit identifies the gesture and the identification information to interact with the object on receiving the impedance changes forked out from a resonator.

  • Patent number: 10833732
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system which extends NFC near field communication over a user's skin by converting electromagnetic signals into modulated alternating electric fields and vice versa. A modified patch is attached to an NFC device, which gets energized from its electromagnetic resonance which may contain data. The patch uses the energy to create an alternating electric field which couples into and spreads over a user's skin. The user may approach or touch objects which then get energized by the alternating electric field. The objects have a tag which modulates the electric field with data back over the user's skin to the patch, which then demodulates the data to modulate the NFC communication of the NFC device for further processing.
