Publication number: 20140090451Abstract: A system includes a vessel system for a fluid, a sampling assembly and a resonant sensor system coupled to the sampling assembly. The resonant sensor system may include a subsystem that detects a set of signals from a resonant sensor system at a plurality of locations in the vessel. The resonant sensor system may also include a subsystem that converts the set of signals to values of a complex impedance spectrum for the plurality of locations and stores the values of the complex impedance spectrum and frequency values. A subsystem determines a fluid phase inversion point from the values of the complex impedance spectrum.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Cheryl Margaret Surman, William Chester Platt, William Guy Morris, Steven Go, Jon Albert Dieringer, Radislav A.

Publication number: 20140076973Abstract: This invention provides a system and apparatus that is able to authenticate and prevent illegal manufacturing and unauthorized operation of disposable bioprocess components. This invention utilizes a ferro-electric random access memory chip (FRAM) chip to store error-correctable information on a RFID tag attached to the disposable bioprocess components, where the error-correctable information is written in sequence into the memory chip, so that the redundant information can remain in the chip when the RFID tag and disposable bioprocess component is gamma-sterilized. Also, this invention includes a method for authenticating the disposable bioprocess component that reduces liability in that a counterfeit poor quality disposable component is not used on the hardware so the user will not file an unjustified complaint.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: GE HEALTHCARE BIO-SCIENCES CORP.Inventors: MANUEL NYFFELER, RADISLAV A. POTYRAILO, VINCENT F. PIZZI, WILLIAM G. MORRIS, GERARD J. GACH, VIJAY SINGH

Patent number: 8647883Abstract: A method of quantitatively measuring the concentration of a chemical species in a sample solution with a sensor film. A hydrogel sensor film is prepared having a chemical composition comprising an indicator that changes its optical property in the ultra-violet, visible or near-infrared spectral range upon being exposed to the chemical species in the sample solution. The film is exposed to a fixed amount of the sample solution. The concentration of the chemical species in the sample solution is quantified using the average absorbance measured from the sensor film.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2010Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Radislav A. Potyrailo, Timothy M. Sivavec, Caibin Xiao, Theodore J. Cecconie, Lamyaa Hassib, Andrew M. Leach, David B. Engel

Patent number: 8587410Abstract: This invention provides a system for operating RFID tags on a single-use connector. The system includes: a first single-use connector configured to receive a first RFID tag and a second single-use connector configured to receive a second RFID tag. The invention also includes a reader placed close to the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag. The reader is configured to: determine if the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag are gamma sterilized; determine if the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag were previously used; determine if the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag are authentic; and determine if the first RFID tag matches with the second RFID tag.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corp.Inventors: Radislav Potyrailo, Vincent F.

Patent number: 8468871Abstract: A system for measuring parameters in a container is disclosed. A system for measuring multiple parameters includes a container having a solution, at least one sensor in conjunction with a tag is in proximity to an impedance analyzer and a reader that constitute a measurement device. The at least one sensor is configured to determine at least one parameter of the solution. The tag is configured to provide a digital ID associated with the sensor, where the container is in proximity to the reader and an impedance analyzer. The impedance analyzer is configured to send and receive a given range of frequencies from the sensor, based on the parameter and calculate parameter changes based on the response.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corp.Inventors: Radislav A.

Patent number: 8420025Abstract: Total analysis systems and methods for simultaneously monitoring a suite of biological and/or chemical species in water and/or other process systems are disclosed. The system provides a sample-volume controlled sensor array comprising a fluid delivery device and a plurality of optical sensor elements for determining the presence and total concentrations of multiple analytes in the process system simultaneously. Delivery means are provided to deliver a metered quantity of sample fluid to the sensor array. Image identification algorithms are provided for identifying the analytes based on image intensity, color pattern, positional arrangement, and the like. The methods incorporate multivariate optimization algorithms to analyze multiple sensor responses. This produces analytical results that are typically difficult to obtain without full system or variable compensation.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Radislav A.
