20120058050 | LOADED LATEX OPTICAL MOLECULAR IMAGING PROBES CONTAINING LIPOPHILIC LARGE STOKES SHIFT DYES - The present invention relates to a loaded particle comprising at least one fluorescent dye, and in particular, a fluorescent dye with a large Stokes shift. The invention further relates to a method for producing an loaded latex particle, loaded with a fluorescent dye having a large stokes shift. In addition, the present invention relates to latex particles loaded with fluorescent dyes that are organic solvent soluble and insoluble in water. In a preferred embodiment, when the dyes are loaded into the water soluble latex particle, an increase is observed in quantum yield of fluorescence as compared to the quantum yield of the dye in aqueous solvent. | 03-08-2012 |

20090121856 | Method For Programming New Sensor In A Motor Vehicle Monitoring System - Data transmitted from a newly installed tire sensor is integrated into monitoring apparatus having data from previously integrated tire sensors stored therein. Each of the newly installed and previously integrated tire sensors periodically transmits a unique identification code. The method comprises placing the monitoring apparatus into a programming mode, entering the tire location of the newly installed tire sensor in the monitoring apparatus, entering a fraction of the identification code for the newly installed tire sensor in the monitoring apparatus, placing the monitoring apparatus in a comparing mode, transmitting the identification codes from the newly installed and previously integrated tire sensors to the monitoring apparatus, comparing the transmitted identification codes with the identification codes and fraction of the identification code previously stored and entered in the monitoring apparatus, storing in the monitoring apparatus the full identification code transmitted from the newly installed tire sensor if a sequential portion of the full identification code matches the previously entered fraction thereof, and switching the monitoring apparatus to an operational mode. | 05-14-2009 |
20090121857 | Comprehensive Status Indicator For Motor Vehicle Monitoring System - In a tire sensor monitoring system for a motor vehicle, each of a plurality of tire sensors periodically emits an identifying signal and a parameter signal and the monitoring system receives and processes the identifying and parameter signals. A method of indicating the status of the monitoring system comprises periodically determining whether the identifying and parameter signals emitted by the tire sensors are being received within preselected time limits, energizing a status indicator if all of said identifying and parameter signals are received within the preselected time limits, de-energizing the status indicator if any of said identifying and parameter signals is not received within the preselected time limits, periodically determining whether the parameter signals emitted by the tire sensors are within a preselected range of values, energizing the status indicator if all of said parameter signals are within the preselected range of values; and de-energizing the status indicator if any of said parameter signals is outside the preselected range of values. | 05-14-2009 |
20090128314 | Apparatus For Accelerating Sensor Reading Upon Start-Up - Apparatus for monitoring one or more motor vehicle tire conditions includes a receiver for intercepting signals from sensors mounted on the tires, a processor for identifying, converting, evaluating and storing said sensor signals, a keypad for selecting sensor data, an alarm for indicating an undesirable tire condition, and a display for providing sensor data. An unswitched circuit is connected to the vehicle battery and to the receiver and the processor in the monitoring apparatus. A switched circuit is connected via an ignition switch to the battery and to the monitoring apparatus as a whole. Sensor information obtained by the processor while the ignition switch is off is available to the user as soon as the ignition switch is turned on. | 05-21-2009 |
20120129608 | Network For Token-Based And Related Devices - The present network 10 enables an off-site subscriber 46 to monitor, analyze and alter on-site token-based and related devices without taking them out of service. A central application 20 presents output data from the on-site devices to an off-site subscriber in a useful form and sends input commands from the subscriber 46 to an on-site network interface appliance 18, which relays the commands to a transceiver 26, processor 28 and function monitor/controller 30 installed in the token system device. The transceiver, processor and function monitor/controller are programmed to make output data concerning the on-site devices available to the subscriber and to control selected functions of the device in response to the subscriber's input commands. The network could be added onto currently operating token based and related devices or installed in those yet to be produced. | 05-24-2012 |
