20080271313 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFER OF DIES USING A DIE PLATE - A method, system, and apparatus for transfer of dies using a die plate is described herein. The die plate has a planar body. The body has a plurality of holes therethrough. A support structure and the die plate can be positioned to be closely adjacent to each other such that each die of a plurality of dies attached to the support structure adheres to a first surface of the die plate. The dies can subsequently be transferred from the die plate to one or more destination substrates or other surfaces, by a punching mechanism. | 11-06-2008 |
20090088618 | System and Method for Manufacturing a Swallowable Sensor Device - Methods and systems for manufacturing a swallowable sensor device are disclosed. Such a method includes mechanically coupling a plurality of internal components, wherein the plurality of internal components includes a printed circuit board having a plurality of projections extending radially outward. A cavity is filled with a potting material, and the mechanically coupled components are inserted into the cavity. The cavity may be pre-filled with the potting material, or may be filled after the mechanically coupled components have been inserted therein. A distal end of each projection abuts against a wall of the cavity thereby preventing the potting material from covering each distal end. The cavity is sealed with a cap causing the potting material to harden within the sealed cavity to form a housing of the swallowable sensor device, wherein the distal end of each projection is exposed to an external environment of the swallowable sensor device. | 04-02-2009 |
20090212918 | Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Based Sensor Networks - An RF addressable sensor network architecture is provided. The RF addressable sensor network includes one or more RF addressable sensors, one or more wireless sensor readers coupled to a communications network, and one or more end user devices coupled to the communications network. The RF addressable sensor network may also include a sensor network processor. An RF addressable sensor includes one or more sensor elements, one or more antennas for communicating with the wireless sensor reader, an RF power and communications interface, and RFID control module, and a sensor interface. The wireless sensor reader includes one or more antennas, a user interface, a controller, a network communications module, and an RF addressable sensor logic module. | 08-27-2009 |
20110004059 | Displaying Image Data From A Scanner Capsule - An ingestible image scanning pill captures high resolution images of the GI tract as it passes through. Images communicated externally have exact location determination. Image processing software discards duplicate information and stitches images together, line scan by line scan, to replicate a complete GI tract as if it were stretched out in a straight line. A fully linear image is displayed to a medical professional as if the GI tract had been stretched in a straight line, cut open, laid flat out on a bench for viewing—all without making any incisions in a live patient. | 01-06-2011 |
20110237951 | Data Transmission Via Wide Band Acoustic Channels - Embodiments of the present invention relate to ultrasound (acoustic) data transmission systems, in particular data transmission over wide-band acoustic channels with frequency-dependant multi-path propagation. More specifically, embodiments of the invention involve increasing the bit rate in the acoustic channel by means of utilization of the entire ultrasound spectrum available for data transmission inside a human body. | 09-29-2011 |

The cavity is sealed with a cap causing the potting material to harden within the sealed cavity to form a housing of the swallowable sensor device, wherein the distal end of each projection is exposed to an external environment of the swallowable sensor device. | 06-21-2012 |
20140309503 | INGESTIBLE LOW POWER SENSOR DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING WITH SAME - Methods, systems, and apparatuses for an ingestible sensor device are described. The ingestible sensor devices may be swallowed by an animal to diagnose one or more conditions of the animal. The ingestible sensor device may include a sensor configured to receive a stimulus inside the gastrointestinal tract of an animal, wherein the sensor is configured to output a signal having a characteristic proportional to the received stimulus. The ingestible sensor device may further include a communications module that transmits a signal modulated with the sensor output signal and a housing configured to have a size that is swallowable, wherein the housing substantially encloses the sensor and communications module. | 10-16-2014 |
