Abstract

Acoustic tags and a process for fabrication are disclosed for identifying and tracking various hosts including inanimate and animate objects in up to three dimensions. The acoustic tags may be powered by a single power source. Tags can have an operation lifetime of up to 90 days or longer at a transmission rate of 3 seconds. The acoustic tags have an enhanced signal range that enhances detection probability when tracking the hosts.

IPC Classes  ?

• H04R 17/00 - Piezoelectric transducersElectrostrictive transducers
• H04B 11/00 - Transmission systems employing ultrasonic, sonic or infrasonic waves
• G08C 23/02 - Non-electric signal transmission systems, e.g. optical systems using acoustic waves
• A01K 11/00 - Marking of animals
• G01S 1/72 - Beacons or beacon systems transmitting signals having a characteristic or characteristics capable of being detected by non-directional receivers and defining directions, positions, or position lines fixed relatively to the beacon transmittersReceivers co-operating therewith using ultrasonic, sonic, or infrasonic waves
• A01K 61/90 - Sorting, grading, counting or marking live aquatic animals, e.g. sex determination
• H01M 10/052 - Li-accumulators
