US Patent:

7545622, Jun 9, 2009

Filed:

Mar 8, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/715676

Inventors:

John Qiang Huang - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

Wispry, Inc. - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H01G 5/16
H01G 7/06
H01G 5/00

US Classification:

361290, 361281, 361287

Abstract:

Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) variable capacitors and actuation components and related methods are provided. A MEMS variable capacitor can include first and second feed lines extending substantially parallel to one another. Further, MEMS variable capacitors can include first and second capacitive plates being spaced apart from the first and second feed lines. The first and second capacitive plates can be separately movable with respect to at least one of the first and second feed lines for varying the capacitance between the first and second feed lines over a predetermined capacitance range.

International Classification:

G08B 13/24
G06K 9/00

Abstract:

Systems and methods for operating an EAS detection system. The methods comprise: detecting an Active Security Tag (“AST”) in an EAS detection zone; determining whether AST is coupled to an object identified in a list; and performing operations when a determination is made that AST is coupled to a listed object. The operations involve: accessing sensor data generated by at least one sensor device disposed on/near display equipment associated with the listed object; processing the sensor data to determine whether a person was within a defined distance range of AST during a period of time immediately preceding the detecting; concluding that a false alarm scenario exists when the sensor data indicates that a person was not within the defined distance range of AST during the period of time; and suppressing alarm issuance by the EAS detection system in response to the false alarm scenario conclusion.

International Classification:

G08B 13/24
G06K 19/07

Abstract:

Managing foreign RFID tags within a secured area involves use of a first RFID portal system to read tag data from an RFID tag present within a first portal zone. A processing device associated with the first RFID portal system is used to determine whether the RFID tag is entering the secured area. The determination is based on an evaluation of a direction of travel of the RFID tag through the first portal zone. Responsive to determining that the RFID tag is in fact entering the secured area, one or more operations are performed to cause a first tag value corresponding to the tag data to be added into a safe to exit (STE) list.

International Classification:

H04W 68/00
H04W 4/00

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and devices for generating a notification by wearable communication device. One system includes a mobile communication device and a wearable communication device. The mobile communication device includes a display, a first transceiver, and a first processor. The first processor is configured to provide access to a graphical user interface through the display, receive a message type and a vibration pattern for the message type from a user through the graphical user interface, and, when the mobile communication device obtains a message have the message type, transmit a notification to a wearable communication device using the first transceiver. The wearable communication device includes a second transceiver configured to receive the notification, a vibrate motor, and a second processor. The second processor is configured to perform the vibration pattern using the vibrate motor in response to receiving the notification.
