Abstract: A method and system for wireless ECG monitoring is provided. An electrode connector, transmitter and receiver operate with existing electrodes and ECG monitors. The electrode connector includes connectors for attaching to disposable or reusable single electrodes. The transmitter transmits the signals from the electrodes to the receiver. The receiver passes the electrode signals to the ECG monitor for processing. ECG monitors used with an electrical conductor, for example wire connections to electrodes, are connected with the receiver, avoiding the purchase of a new monitor. Any legacy ECG monitor, including different ECG monitors, connects with the receiver using the ECG monitor's lead-wires. The ECG monitor operates as if directly connected to the electrodes without the problems discussed above associated with wires running from the ECG monitor to the patient.

Abstract: A system and method of asset sealing and tracking includes a first RFID device with a first identity that is permanently affixed to a container door, and removable second RFID device with a second identity is coupled to the first RFID device—and inserted through a locking hasp of the container door. The first RFID device inherits the second identity of the second RFID device thereby automatically associating the two devices. Thereafter the first RFID device broadcasts both identities. When the second RFID device is opened, so that the container door is allowed to open, the first RFID device can sense this and change its broadcast message to include that the second RFID device was opened.

Abstract: A device and method of sealing a container comprises a mechanical bolt (201?) with a circuit disposed thereon. The circuit includes RFID function. When a captivating device (203) is joined with one end of the bolt (201?) the RFID circuit changes state and operates to transmit symbolic data. When the bolt is severed or cut off the RFID circuit again changes state and operates to transmit other symbolic data.

Abstract: A method for enabling asset tracking that includes the steps of: receiving (910) a first excitation signal at a first power level using a first frequency band; and (920) upon determining that a first set of parameters is satisfied, awakening from an inactive mode to an active mode, transmitting data at a second power level that is greater than the first power level using a second frequency band that is different from the first frequency band, and returning to the inactive mode, wherein determining that the first set of parameters is satisfied comprises at least determining that the first excitation signal corresponds to a first wake-up circuit.

Abstract: A device and method for projecting a first collimated light wave section 110 onto a diffusing surface 115 traversing along a first path d1 120 forming a first image, and projecting a second collimated light wave section 135 formed along a second path d2, d3, d4, 140 commencing at the collimated light source 105, directed by first 145 and second 150 specular surfaces, and terminating on a second portion 155 of the diffusing surface 115 forming a second image, wherein the length of the first path d1 120 is different than the length of the second path d2, d3, d4, 140.

Abstract: An assembly for monitoring a vital sign comprising a flat circuit having connectors for attachment to patient mounted electrodes and a connector for attachment to a vital signs monitor in which the connectors for attaching to the patient mounted electrodes are made from a non-conductive, non-metallic elastomeric material.

Abstract: An assembly for monitoring a vital sign comprising a flat circuit having connectors for attachment to patient mounted electrodes and a connector for attachment to a vital signs monitor in which the electrical conductors are made from a conductor that wears with use such that the conductor becomes unusable with repeated use.

Abstract: A wireless monitoring system and, more particularly, a wireless monitoring system for detecting and transmitting physiological data. The present invention detects physiological data relating to a patients cardiac activity and respiration rate and transmits the data to a remote base station via telemetry. The base station processes the data so that the data can be displayed by an ECG monitor.

Abstract: A cardiac monitoring system and, more particularly, a wireless electrocardiograph (ECG) system. The present invention detects electrical signals from a patient's heart and transmits the signals digitally to a remote base station via telemetry. The base station converts the digital signals back to an analog electrical signals that can be read by an ECG monitor.
