Abstract
A locator device having a transponder subcutaneously implanted in a person or animal that is to be periodically monitored in the event of emergency, abduction and other such situations. The transponder has a battery that is rechargeable by using the potential electrical energy generated by the body of the host organism. The preferred embodiment of the rechargeable transponder uses a piezoelectric battery that is to be implanted in an appropriate manner that would permit a large muscle to act upon a piezoelectric element thereby converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy to provide a recharge to the battery.
Claims15
A locator system with an organically-rechargeable transponder that is implanted within the body of a monitored subject, which comprises:
- a) a subcutaneously implantable transponder device comprising:
- i) means for transmitting a specific frequency;
- ii) means for receiving a specific frequency;
- iii) rechargeable battery;
- and
- iv) means for recharging said battery by scavenging the potential energy generated by the body of the monitored subject;
- b) a remote locator unit including:
- i) means for entering a personal identification number, hereinafter referred to as PIN, unique to said subject;
- ii) microprocessor for translating said PIN to a preselected personal encoded frequency unique to said subject and for interpreting location data received by said transponder;
- iii) means for transmitting said personal encoded frequency to said transponder;
- iv) means for receiving said location data from said transponder;
- and
- v) means for displaying said location data.
