  • Publication number: 20240048258
    Abstract: The devices and methods leverage harmonics to resolve, separate, and identify devices. The devices and methods use the harmonic patterns associated with a frequency modulating (FM) signal to discern and extract information from the FM signal using correlation learning in a crowded spectrum space where the nodes are transmitting simultaneously on multiple channels. The methods and devices leverage harmonics to resolve, separate, and/or identify wireless communication devices.

  • Publication number: 20230125457
    Abstract: Synthetic molecular tags are placed on an item at various points in a supply chain to create a molecular record of movement through the supply chain. Associations between each unique synthetic molecular tag and individual locations in the supply chain are stored in an electronic record which may be maintained in the cloud. The synthetic molecular tags are collected from the item and sequenced to determine movement of the item through the supply chain by reference to the electronic record. The synthetic molecular tags can be used for identifying recalled items based on locations in the supply chain associated with a recall. The synthetic molecular tags may be polynucleotides such as deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). The item may be any type of item including food.

  • Patent number: 11020014
    Abstract: A photoplethysmogram device is provided comprising a light source configured to emit light to illuminate skin, a photo-detector configured to receive the light illuminating the skin and generate an electrical output as a function of an intensity of the received light, a skin temperature regulator configured to heat and/or cool a temperature of the skin adjacent to the photo-detector and light source to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the electrical output from the photo-detector, and a processor configured to generate, based on the electrical output, an output signal indicative of blood properties, including physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, blood vessel elasticity, and arterial oxygen saturation.
