  • Decorative object arrangement device and method for utilizing the same
    Patent number: 8827711
    Abstract: An arrangement device is disclosed. The arrangement device includes a tray portion having a body that forms a plurality of passages. The arrangement device also includes a plurality of pattern adjustment plungers movably-secured to the tray portion within the plurality of passages.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 9, 2014

  • System and method for tagging and detecting surgical implements
    Patent number: 8485973
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting a surgical implement retained within a surgically exposed human body cavity, includes a tag adapted to be attached to a surgical implement insertable within a human body cavity, including a receiver for receiving an electromagnetic signal and converting it into electric signal; and a circuit to impress said electric signal on the internal human (or an animal) body where the medical product is used; and a transmitter to transmit the electromagnetic signal; and a detector including a receptor for receiving the electric signal from the body and a detector connected to the receptor for detecting the electric signal. The envelope of the induced RF wave is demodulated, thus allowing the voltage at the output to vary at a significantly lower frequency. In the event such pulses are sensed, a sensory alert is actuated.
