Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for detecting motion of an object, such as the paw of rat. A tag comprising an inductive element and a capacitive element may be attached to the object and the motion detected by monitoring the affect of the tag on a time-varying magnetic field.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for detecting flinching motion of a foot of an animal, comprising: a single sensing coil comprising a wire wound into a coil, said coil defining a perimeter that surrounds the whole of an animal; an AC generator electrically coupled to said wire; a circuit electrically coupled to said wire, said circuit adapted to detect AC current flowing through said wire; a tag attached to a foot of said animal, said tag comprising an inductive element and…
