    摘要: RFID tags of very small size are embedded in products or composed of products in a manufacturing process. The system employs different read and write modes to enable auto-tracking of material, some assembly, assembly and component items through various stages of the manufacturing process. As each item passes special predetermined points in the manufacturing process, the embedded tag is activated and placed in track mode. The tag transmits its ID and a track count representing the number of stations passed. The tag's track count is incremented and the updated track count is stored in non-volatile memory in the tag. The tags can be programmed so that once the count exceeds a predetermined count, a status bit is set in the tag's memory indicating that the item has been completely through the manufacturing process. Thus, the system can determine whether an item or product has been completed. After manufacture the same RFID tag can be used for tracking, inventory and item authentication.

    摘要: A system for tracking items using passive RFID tags utilizes separate data and power frequencies. Within an area in which the items are located, one or more data readers are provided but many more separate power modules are distributed through the space, for powering up the tags. With the power nodes distributed, the tags are powered from a relatively short distance, enabling the tags to transmit through a greater distance. One or more of the readers can include a power-node control which sends an RF signal to control on/off status of specific power nodes within the area, so that power nodes can be activated zone by zone, to thereby permit the reader to determine location by zone of products as their RFID tags are read.

    摘要: An electronic identification tag, usually in very small size, responds to a reader with an identification code unique to the object to which the tag is attached. The stand-alone device responds to a reader signal by storing energy received from the signal, then using the stored energy to generate another signal that is encoded with identification information. In operation, a reader generates RF energy which can reach a multiplicity of such tags over a distance of several meters. The system minimizes power requirements for the tag by minimizing intelligence in the IC. Use of a transmit frequency which is different from the reader's power frequency reduces interference between the power pulse and information pulse, eliminates the need for filters and enables the multiplied clock reference frequency as the transmit carrier frequency.

    摘要: A radio frequency ID tag, very small in size and with an onboard antenna, is manufactured, tested and applied cost-efficiently. The transmit frequency for the tag is set during manufacture approximately, within a selected range, in a gross tuning step. A second tuning step fine tunes each tag by RF communication to set values of capacitance, resistance, etc., and this can be at the point of application of the tags. Other aspects include burning a randomly-selected value in the RF ID chip during manufacture to impose a random time delay for tag response (rather than having a random generator on the chip itself); structural testing of a large number of tags on a wafer using on-wafer interconnects and a special onboard sequencer test die; and production of the tag so as to be tunable to different frequency ranges.

    摘要: An everting applicator for brachytherapy of body cavities such as the vagina has a flexible sleeve secured to a distal mandrel, both the sleeve and the mandrel having internal lumens. The flexible sleeve has a diverging opening at its distal end, preferably bell-shaped or cone-shaped, such that when the open end is pushed against the mouth of a vagina, the sleeve will evert back upon itself, progressively unrolling to an inside out configuration wherein, fully inserted, the sleeve is fully everted back over the exterior surface of the mandrel. A radiation source, isotopic or electronic, is then inserted into the mandrel lumen to commence a therapeutic irradiation procedure of tissues of the vagina.

    摘要: A radiation sensor array is carried on a flexible sheet of film, for placement on the skin of a patient adjacent to a brachytherapy location beneath the skin. With the array approximately centered on a position where radiation source to skin distance is estimated to be minimum, the array of sensors is used to monitor radiation dose received at the skin. With a controller connected to the array and preferably also to the radiation source in the applicator, the radiation dose received at all skin points of interest can be monitored, a point of maximum dose and a projected approach to limit dose can be calculated, and in response the system can warn the operator or control a brachytherapy procedure so as to discontinue radiation or control the radiation level or source position in real time. The system can also include percutaneous sensors.

    摘要: Brachytherapy applicators incorporate various forms of selective shielding devices for controlling the direction and intensity of radiation directed at a patient's tissue. In some forms the applicators include a retractable sheath, in some a series of retractable fingers. In other forms the applicator, having an inflatable balloon, has a shield which is retractable from a position adjacent to the balloon or retracted from the balloon, or a shield can itself be inflatable, separately or together with the balloon.
