  • Enzyme-based system and sensor for measuring acetone
    Patent number: 7794994
    Abstract: Described are enzyme systems specific for acetone and methods of using these enzyme systems to detect acetone in biological or environmental samples. Biosensors containing these enzyme systems are disclosed, in which detection of acetone may be achieved by linking electrochemical, photometric, or other detection means to one or more acetone-specific enzyme reactions or pathways. Methods of using such acetone-specific biosensors include subject management of weight loss, disease detection, and bioavailability monitoring of therapeutics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2010
    Assignee: Kemeta, LLC
    Inventors: Paul E. Cranley, Jeffrey R. Allen, Kristine L. Danowski, James A. McIntyre, Theodore E. Miller, Jr., Bettina M. Rosner, Alan D. Strickland, Venkiteswaran Subramanian, Larry Sun
  • Hand-held medical apparatus
    Patent number: 7364551
    Abstract: The subject invention provides a hand-held medical apparatus (10) for detecting a predetermined component of user breath and producing a breath-component signal over a measurement time. Such breath-component signal may be correlated to a user fat metabolism indicator.

  • Oral drug compliance monitoring using radio frequency identification tags
    Publication number: 20060289640
    Abstract: A device useful for oral drug delivery device consisting of: (a) a capsule, tablet or pill designed to disperse in the gastrointestinal system; (b) an RFID tag positioned in the capsule, tablet or pill, the RFID tag comprising an antenna; (c) an object selected from the group consisting of a magnet, a ferromagnetic object, a ferrite object and an electromagnetic shielding object positioned within, over or adjacent the antenna of the RFID tag to alter the antenna characteristics of the RFID tag so that if the RFID tag is interrogated before the capsule, tablet or pill disperses in the gastrointestinal system, the response of the RFID tag is sufficiently altered or attenuated to determine that the capsule, tablet or pill has not dispersed in the gastrointestinal system and so that if the RFID tag is interrogated after the capsule, tablet or pill has dispersed in the gastrointestinal system, the object separates from the RFID tag so that the response of the RFID tag is sufficiently detectable to determine that t
