Matthew Wilson - McKinney TX, US

International Classification:

G05B 13/02
G06F 17/50
G06F 17/10
G06F 9/455
G01N 37/00

US Classification:

700030000, 703013000, 702081000, 703002000, 703023000, 340572100, 700225000

Abstract:

A radio frequency identification (RFID)-detect ranking system and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the RFID-detect ranking system includes a matrix subsystem configured to construct a matrix of experiments based on product information, RFID reader information and RFID tag information. The RFID-detect ranking system also includes a data collection subsystem configured to facilitate an experiment and collect data to fill in results for each category of the matrix of experiments. The RFID-detect ranking system still further includes a ranking subsystem configured to assign an index based on the results for each category of the matrix of experiments, thereby providing a likelihood of success of reading an RFID tag located on a product with an RFID reader.

Abstract:

A radio frequency identification (“RFID”) application system for use with an RFID system adapted to apply an RFID tag to a product and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the RFID application system includes a printer applicator controller configured to manage an operation of a printer applicator of the RFID system. The RFID application system also includes a compliance manager configured to coordinate RFID compliance data to derive a unique identification number for the RFID tag. The RFID application system still further includes an event manager configured to coordinate an operation of the printer applicator controller to facilitate proper placement of the RFID tag on the product.

Appl. No.:

11/949635

Inventors:

Thomas C. Abraham - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

H04Q 5/22

US Classification:

340 101, 3405721

Abstract:

A radio frequency identification (“RFID”) system and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the RFID system includes a reader configured to transmit a command including a parameter profile of a product. The RFID system also includes a sensor tag configured to sense raw data associated with the product, process the raw data to create processed data as a function of the parameter profile and provide the processed data to the reader.

Inventors:

Thomas C. Abraham - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

H04Q 5/22

US Classification:

340 101

Abstract:

A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, system and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the RFID reader includes a transmitter/receiver configured to detect a signal representing an RFID tag and a processor configured to compare a delta index from the signal to a threshold to determine when the RFID tag is moving. In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of operating an RFID tag including detecting a signal representing an RFID tag and comparing a delta index from the signal to a threshold to determine when the RFID tag is moving.
