Abstract:

A system includes a cavity configured to receive a container. The container is configured to contain a plurality of grains. The system includes a radio frequency (RF) signal source configured to supply an RF signal, an impedance matching network electrically coupled to an output of the RF signal source, a transmission path coupled to the impedance matching network, and a first electrode in the cavity. The first electrode is coupled to the transmission path and configured to radiate electromagnetic energy into the cavity as a result of receiving the RF signal. The system includes power detection circuitry configured to measure a magnitude of a reflected signal along the transmission path and a controller configured to modify an impedance transformation performed by the impedance matching network based on the magnitude of the reflected signal.

Abstract:

In certain examples, systems and methods here may use a combination of GPS location data provided by a user's device and the use of low-energy beacons in a shopping location which interact in real time with a user's device to enable the targeted interactions. User flow through a retail shopping location is collected and then mapped to provide interaction data used to present targeted unique interactions and experiences for each user.
