Patent number: 9034264Abstract: The present application provides apparatus and methods for determining the density of a fluid sample. In particular, it provides a sensor device which can be loaded with a fluid sample such as blood, and which further comprises at least one oscillating beam member or resonator. Exposure of the blood sample to clotting agents allows a clotting reaction to commence. The device allows the density of the sample fluid to be monitored with reference to the oscillation of the vibrating beam member, thus allowing the monitoring of the clotting of the fluid sample.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Highland Biosciences LimitedInventor: Richard Day

Publication number: 20150028113Abstract: A programmable central server wirelessly communicates with a plurality of temperature sensors. The temperature sensors are positioned within spaced apart zones within a building. The temperature sensors sense the temperature within the zone in which the temperature sensor is located. Each of the temperature sensors periodically and wirelessly reports a temperature in the zone of the building in which the individual sensor is assigned and located. The temperature sensors instruct the central server to activate or deactivate a heating and air conditioning device and instruct associated dampers to open or close, based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensors, and based upon the desired temperature programmed into the central server, thus maintaining a required temperature in virtual zones.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2013Publication date: January 29, 2015Applicant: Smart Stuff, Inc.Inventor: Richard Day

Patent number: 8689614Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the real-time continuous monitoring of a change or density and/or viscosity within a test sample. Such methods can be used to determine the occurrence of a chemical reaction within a test sample where the same causes and increase or decrease in the density and/or viscosity of the sample due to, for example, a gelation, precipitation or coagulation occurring within the test sample. There is further provided a multi-resonator apparatus for use in measuring the density and/or viscosity of a test sample in which the multi-beam resonator is immersed.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2008Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Highland Biosciences LimitedInventors: Richard Day, Emma Day
