Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electronic communication, and in particular to the propagation of electrical signals across a user's body through electrostatic coupling.
  • the invention also relates to the use of small currents externally induced in people by electrostatic field coupling.
  • Electrostatic coupling represents a departure from traditional forms of electronic communication, which involve radiated energy.
  • RFID radio-frequency identification
  • An RFID device receives a wireless signal from an externally located "reader,” which determines the parameter of interest based on the response of the RFID device to the transmitted signal.
  • RFID radio-frequency identification
  • a simple application of this technology is security: an individual wears an RFID "tag” or badge, and a controlled- entry system unlocks a door only if the wearer's tag is recognized as s/he approaches.
  • Radiative systems can be configured for a relatively large (i.e., far field) read range. But this capability can actually represent a disadvantage if the environment contains multiple, independent RFID devices, since the reader will excite all devices within the read range simultaneously. Proximately located devices, in other words, cannot share the same frequency channel; separate addressing requires separate frequencies or cumbersome efforts to focus the electromagnetic field from the reader. Magnetostatic and electrostatic RFID systems, by contrast, operate through near-field interaction, and thereby facilitate selective coupling or "channel sharing"; that is, so long as the tagged items are not immediately adjacent (i.e., within a few centimeters of each other), they can be individually addressed.
  • electrostatic systems offer practical advantages in terms of the ease of focusing an electric field as compared with a magnetic field. Electrostatic systems also offer manufacturing and cost advantages, since the induction coil required for magnetostatic systems is eliminated and electrodes can be conveniently and inexpensively deposited on substrates of widely varying shapes and materials.
  • the present invention provides method of detecting contact between a user's body and an item, the method comprising:
  • contact between said user and said item is detected by a phase shift in the received signal in respect to the transmitted signal as it changes from pure capacitive coupling to a combined capacitive and/or galvanic coupling.
  • the item is another person.
  • the user could be a health care staff member on a hospital and the other person could be a patient bearing a receiver with a personalised ID tag.
  • physical contact and hence potential contamination will be detected.
  • the receiving means is provided with an ID tag that is transmitted to the user and detected through second receiving means attached to the user when said user and said person approach and/or contact each other.
  • the invention provides for an alarm or other means for alerting the health care staff member to perform a hand cleaning manoeuvre.
  • both the healthcare worker and the patient are provided with ID tags allowing two-way communication of IDs.
  • communication may be carried out wirelessly, such as with an RF signal or inductively coupled signal or optical infrared or other similar wireless communication techniques/systems.
  • the above described embodiment of the present invention also provides for an alarm or other means for alerting the health care staff member to perform a hand cleaning manoeuvre in accordance with the above.
  • the principles can be used to detect whether or not the healthcare worker has properly washed his or her hands by defining the soap dispenser and the water faucet as items in accordance with the above principles; hence, in order to achieve proper hand cleaning unbroken soap and water columns (outlet flows from the items) must be established in order to obtain the galvanic coupling indicating proper washing.
  • electrically conductive fluids in general may be used to establish galvanic coupling between a user, such as a healthcare worker, and an item containing the fluids.
  • the detectable electrical characteristic is oscillatory decay of stored energy.
  • the detectable characteristic may be coupling strength, the coupling strength indicating a distance between the transmission means and the receiving means.
  • the present invention capacitively transmits not only data but power through a user's body.
  • a transmitter carried by the user transmits power and data to a receiver, which may be carried on another person's body or be part of a grounded item; the return path for the current is provided by environmental ground.
  • the signal that the transmitter applies to the user's body not only contains a data component, but also powers the receiver and enables it to detect and decode the data.
  • power and data are simply transmitted at different frequencies.
  • the data is transmitted by modulating a carrier from which power is derived.
  • any modulation scheme can be adapted to the present invention.
  • data may be encoded by frequency modulation of a carrier; the receiver recovers the data by detecting carrier modulations, and derives power from the frequency-varying carrier itself.
  • the data may be encoded by amplitude modulation or phase modulation of a carrier.
  • the data is modulated using, for example, a pseudorandom code to provide spread-spectrum encoding within a broadband carrier, with the carrier again supplying power.
  • the data is not actually "transmitted” at all, but is instead imparted to the transmitter by the receiver in the form of loading variations.
  • the temporal pattern of these variations can encode a sequence of bits.
  • multiple receivers resonating at different frequencies can impart information merely by their presence or absence, or can instead impart a continuous range of information through variation of resonant frequency (or frequencies).
  • the coupling of resonators to a transmitter can impart information about their proximity to the transmitter.
  • the coupling strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between transmitter and receiver.
  • Receivers having different resonant frequencies can be individually addressed and the coupling strengths separately assessed to obtain distance measurements.
  • Increasing the number of resonators increases the resolution of the measurement (if they lie in a straight line) and the dimensionality of the measurement (if they are not collinear).
  • the transmitter or the receiver is physically displaced from the user's body (although both receiver and transmitter are coupled to environmental ground), and data and power are transmitted when the transmitter and receiver become sufficiently proximate - via the user's body - to permit capacitive coupling.
  • the transmitter may refrain from sending the data component until alerted (e.g., via a loading measurement) of the coupling to a receiver.
  • the user may wear more than one receiver.
  • the receivers may also be capable of transmitting data to other receivers. Modulation schemes such as spread-spectrum FM, time-division multiplexing or frequency-division multiplexing facilitate simultaneous operation of multiple transmitters, each using a different modulation parameter.
  • the invention is amenable to a wide variety of applications, ranging from “interbody” exchange of digital information between individuals through physical contact (e.g., a handshake) to "intrabody” data transfer (e.g., between a paging device worn in the shoe and a wristwatch display device) to devices that permit communication between the user and his or her immediate environment.
  • An important example of the latter category relates to the use of wearable electrostatic devices for security or other purposes.
  • An external reader i.e., transmitter
  • the reader may be carried by the user to identify or discriminate among multiple tagged items (e.g., to determine the tagged contents of boxes in a warehouse).
  • the present invention extends the effective range of operation substantially beyond the free- space (i.e., unassisted) coupling distance.
  • the transmitter and receiver are coupled through a user and room ground.
  • the human body acts as a good conductor capacitively coupling receiver and transmitter.
  • the transmitter produces low- frequency (generally 1 kHz to10 MHz) AC signals that pass, through capacitive coupling, as displacement currents into and from the body of the user, carrying both power and data. Since the transmitter and receiver do not couple with one another directly, the shared room ground provides the return path for the current.
  • the receiver may include a pair of electrodes, rectification circuitry to convert the power component of the transmitted signal into usable DC, and a detector/demodulator that obtains the data component of the transmitted signal.
  • One of the electrodes is closely coupled capacitively to the user's body so as to receive displacement current passing through the body.
  • the current entering the receiving electrode passes through the rectification and detector circuitry and thereafter to the other electrode, which is asymmetrically coupled capacitively to room ground to complete the circuit path. Due to this asymmetric coupling, a potential difference exists across the electrodes.
  • Receivers in accordance with the invention generally involve active circuitry that draws power from the transmitted signal in order to support operation.
  • the receiver circuitry is passive, imparting data through modulation of an electrical characteristic that is sensed by the transmitter.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to make a safeguarding system and a safeguarding process for portable firearms that release the weapons only for use by authorized persons. Another purpose is to prevent unauthorized persons from firing weapons in an unauthorized manner.
  • the invention releases the weapons for authorized persons and the blocks of the weapons for unauthorized persons in a reliable and straightforward manner.
  • the invention releases and blocks operation of weapons in person- dependent manner prior to each individual use, i.e. before each shot.
  • the invention enables the release of the weapon in an manner consistent with conventional use of an unsafeguarded weapon.
  • An authorized person only has to perform the actions that are normally required for firing a traditional, non-safeguarded weapons and does not have to perform any other release actions.
  • the invention blocks the weapon without additional steps, so that an unauthorized person who operates the weapon in traditional manner is unable to fire a shot.

  • receiver means including detector means for detecting a signal with the predetermined frequency characteristic and engagement means that are engageable by the carrier's body for providing signals transmitted through the body to the detector means.
  • FIG. 1 is a generalized representation of intra-body and inter-body power and data transmission in accordance with the present invention, reflecting capacitive coupling of displacement current into the body and the use of the environment as the current return path.
  • the schematic arrangement shown in FIG. 1 is valid for both intrabody and interbody modes of capacitive coupling.
  • a transmitter applies an AC signal to the body of a user via capacitive coupling, represented as a capacitance.
