Abstract:
Generally, an animal monitoring system including a bolus administered to reside in an animal operable to sense changes in one or more physiological parameters of the animal and generate and transmit encoded bolus sensor data to a tag affixed on the outside of the animal which operates to sense changes in one or more environmental parameters surrounding the animal and to generate encoded tag sensor data and to receive encoded bolus sensor data each of which can be analyzed by the tag or a remote data processor to generate environmental parameter values and physiological parameter values to assess an environmental or physiological condition of or about the animal.
Abstract:
A system and method for identifying and monitoring passage of a plurality of animals in a passageway. The system includes a computer monitoring device having a processor and memory, and a detection device, communicatively coupled to the computer monitoring device. The detection device is positioned in proximity to an animal passageway. The detection device includes an antenna element configured to detect identification data from a respective detection component respectively associated with each of the plurality animals when located in close proximity to the passageway. The detected identification data includes a unique ID associated with the animal wherein each detection component consists of a capsule device configured to be located internal of an animal. The computer monitoring device is configured to receive the detected identification data of an animal from the detection device so as to record in a database the detected animal's unique ID in correlation with a date/time stamp of the animal's detected close proximity to the passageway.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for animal health monitoring are described. In one embodiment, an animal health monitoring system includes a ruminant bolus transponder, a high frequency radio frequency transceiver device, and at least one base station including a high frequency radio frequency transceiver, wherein the high frequency radio frequency transceiver device is proximally located to the bolus transponder, wherein the ruminant bolus periodically emerges from a low power dormant state and measures data including at least one sensor measurement including time and date data, wherein the ruminant bolus is configured to store the measured data using the memory connected to the microcontroller in the ruminant bolus, wherein the ruminant bolus periodically emerges from a low power dormant state and transmits the stored data in the memory to the proximally located device via high frequency RF transmission, and wherein the ruminant bolus can be spontaneously activated by a low frequency scanner.

Abstract:
A method and system for monitoring the condition of livestock comprises a plurality of sensors (115, 103, 113, 111, 107, 105) for sensing a plurality of different behavioural parameters of an animal. The sensed data is transmitted by a unit (115), wirelessly, t a central processor (119) and a plurality of status conditions of the animal is determined on the basis of the transmitted, sensed data such as the onset of parturition, fertility status and other health status conditions. The unit (115) may be permanently worn by the animal and may keep an electronic record of the status conditions of the animal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for identifying an entity comprising placing an internal tag within the entity and placing an external tag proximate the entity wherein the internal tag and external tag are coupled.
Abstract:
A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag device for monitoring at least one of ingestion and digestion by a subject of a solid dosage form includes a substrate attachable to the solid dosage form or at least partially embedded into the surface of the solid dosage form and an RFID tag at least partially formed on the substrate. The RFID tag is configured to generate a signal and transmit the generated signal to an external receiver to facilitate monitoring at least one of ingestion and digestion by the subject of the solid dosage form.
Abstract:
Enhanced product tracking, in which a data collection interface is established between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to identification data and event data, the identification data uniquely identifying a pharmaceutical, and the event data relating to a supply chain process step for the pharmaceutical. Tracking also includes receiving a tracking request for formatted identification data and/or event data from a second supply management device; and establishing a data conversion interface between the second supply management device and the identification data and/or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the identification data and/or the event data, according to the tracking request.
