Title: System and method for locating objects and communicating with the same
Inventor: SCHULMAN JOSEPH H
IPC: B60R25/00
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: An object locator system utilizes a microtransponder (12) that is used in association with an object to be located. A remote locator (10) transmits an encoded signal in which is embedded an identification code associated with the object to be located. The microtransponder (12) receives the encoded transmitted signal and processes such signal utilizing fast fourier transform techniques. The microtransponder (12) correlates the transformed received signal with a fast fourier transformed version of an identification code associated with the microtransponder (12) and upon detection of a correlation, transmits an acknowledgement signal to the remote locator (10). The remote locator (10) determines the distance to the microtransponder (12) based upon the round trip time from transmission of the coded signal to the microtransponder (12) to the receipt of the acknowledgement signal.

IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2008-03-07
Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a cooling system and a method for cooling an electronic display. A preferred embodiment includes a transparent liquid cooling chamber, a reservoir tank, and a pump. The components in the system are preferably housed within the electronic display housing. The cooling chamber defines a fluid compartment that is anterior to and coextensive with the electronic display surface. The pump causes coolant fluid to move through the cooling chamber. The reservoir tank provides the system with a constant supply of coolant and also provides surface area to conduct heat away from the coolant fluid contained therein. The circulating coolant removes heat directly from the electronic display surface by advection. In order to view the display, the coolant fluid is transparent or at least semi-transparent. The image quality of an exemplary embodiment remains essentially unchanged, even though coolant is flowing over the visible face of the electronic display surface.

The polymeric matrix of the compositions contain functional groups, which covalently bond to an amine, thiol, carboxyl, aldehyde or hydroxyl active group of selected long chain quaternary ammonium compounds. Upon formation of a covalent bonding with the polymeric matrix the long chain compounds become immobilized but still maintain antimicrobial efficacy. They do not leach out over extended period of time into the aqueous environment and maintain an anti-microbial efficacy against microorganisms.  The coating is useful to prevent bacterial colonization on a variety of surface including surfaces of medical devices.
