Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090251313Wireless Tracking System And Method Utilizing Variable Location Algorithms - The present invention provides a solution to mistaken location calculations based on multipath effects. The present invention utilizes tags attached to objects that transmit signals at various power levels for reception by sensors stationed throughout a facility. Sensor readings at the various power levels are utilized to determine the location of the tagged object.10-08-2009
20100252627Wireless Tracking System And Method For Sterilizable Object - The present invention is a method for real-time location monitoring of a sterilizable object. The method includes tracking a location of a sterilizable object bearing a tag. The tag includes a sealed housing, means for detecting a sterilization event and means for transmitting data concerning the sterilization event. The method also includes detecting a sterilization event. The method also includes transmitting a signal that the sterilization event has been detected by the tag.10-07-2010
20110025464Antenna Diversity For Wireless Tracking System And Method - The present invention provides a solution to determine a real-time location of an object in an indoor facility utilizing the spatial and angular antenna diversity on a sensor. Specifically, the spatial diversity is achieved by placing a second antenna a predetermined distance (which is greater than one-half of the wavelength) away from the first antenna. The angular diversity is obtained by placing the second antenna at ninety degrees (perpendicular) angle of the first antenna.02-03-2011
20110068892Wireless Tracking System And Method Utilizing Near-Field Communication Devices - The present invention provides a method and system to determining a near-field communication interaction in a wireless tracking mesh network. The present invention preferably utilizes near-field communication devices in conjunction with tracking tags to transmit signals for reception by sensors stationed throughout a facility which form a mesh network and forward the signals to an information engine for analysis.03-24-2011
20110070833Wireless Tracking System And Method Utilizing Near-Field Communication Devices - The present invention provides a method and system for determining a near-field communication interaction in a wireless tracking mesh network. The present invention preferably utilizes near-field communication devices in conjunction with tracking tags to transmit signals for reception by sensors stationed throughout a facility which form a mesh network and forward the signals to an information engine for analysis. Bearers of the near-field communication devices preferably include individuals, objects, assets and rooms of the facility.03-24-2011
20110084806Wireless Tracking System And Method For Backhaul Of Information - The present invention provides a solution to backhauling health information. The present invention utilizes a mesh network to backhaul the health information. The system includes a plurality of first tags, a mesh network, and an information engine. Each of the tags represents a first object. The mesh network preferably includes a plurality of plug-in sensors located within the facility. At least one node in the mesh network operates as healthcare device. The information engine is in communication with the mesh network and determines a position location of the healthcare device and an operation of the healthcare device.04-14-2011
