A neutron detector, and method for fabricating same, having an active layer comprised of organic and inorganic materials such as polymers and/or small molecules. These materials function as a semiconductor host matrix that transports carriers excited by neutron absorption. The active layer is comprised of host semiconductor materials, composites of the host semiconductor materials with other polymers molecules, and particles, or multi-layer structures of the host semiconductor materials with other materials. The host semiconductor materials include in their molecular structure neutron capturing atoms such as B, Li, Gd, U, Pu, V, and Rh, or alternatively are blended with molecules or particles that contain the above atoms in addition to electron accepting molecules or particles. Using these materials allows for the simplified fabrication of inexpensive, large area, relatively lightweight, and flexible neutron detectors via film casting from solution, thermal evaporation, inkjet printing, and film laminate, or film extrusion.

This disclosure relates to a flexible circuit for insertion into a pill capsule. The flexible circuit has a first portion having an electrical contact to electrically connect with a battery, a second portion having an electrical contact to electrically connect with the battery, a first arm separating the first portion and second portion, a third portion comprising a first antenna, a second arm separating the first portion and third portion, a fourth portion comprising a second antenna, a third arm separating the first portion and fourth portion, a third arm separating the first portion and fourth portion, and a fifth portion comprising a third antenna. The first portion, second portion, and first arm form a first receptacle to receive a battery. The third portion, fourth portion, and fifth portion form a second receptacle to receive a cube ferrite core.

Systems and methods described herein can use near field communications to locate a radiating transmitter, such as a pill transmitter swallowed by a patient. In some embodiments, the pill transmitter can include multiple transmitting elements configured to transmit signals in an axis orthogonal with respect to each other. Further, in some embodiment, the pill transmitter can also include multiple transmitting elements in each of the three axes where the three axes may be perpendicular with respect to each other. The magnetic field emitted from the pill transmitter can be measured by the receiving antennas, for example, using principles of mutual inductance.

The present invention relates to the method to identify the source of a signature signal by processing sparse digital data collected by a sensor system in a laboratory, field, or other application. The invention specifically addresses weak, obscured, or partially sampled signatures collected by a sensor system. The method takes advantage of all sources of data using an innovative method that uses Bayes Theorem for performing probability arithmetic and statistical inference. The method requires an exclusive and exhaustive library of candidate signatures. The method finds the most likely signature candidate from the library that has the highest likelihood of being responsible for the measured signal. In addition, the method can work with mixtures of library candidates to find the most likely mixture that explain the data. The method is applicable to a variety of sensor systems that collect and digitize data as signal strength (ordinate) versus measurement attribute (abscissa).
