Systems And Methods For Amplifying A Transmit Signal In A Rfid Interrogator

View page
US Patent:
7054595, May 30, 2006
Filed:
Sep 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/658633
Inventors:
Gary Bann - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Single Chip Systems Corporation - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04B 7/00
US Classification:
455 412, 455 78, 340 101
Abstract:
An RFID interrogator comprises an amplifier configured to amplify signals being transmitted by the RFID interrogator. The RFID interrogator also comprises a bypass path to direct received signals around the amplifier so that the amplifier does no block the reception of signals received from an RFID tag.

Systems And Methods For Stirring Electromagnetic Fields And Interrogating Stationary Rfid Tags

View page
US Patent:
7884725, Feb 8, 2011
Filed:
Jun 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/766752
Inventors:
James Robert Kruest - San Diego CA, US
Gary Bann - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Neology, Inc. - Poway CA
International Classification:
G08B 13/14
H04Q 5/22
US Classification:
3405727, 340 104
Abstract:
RFID tags are used for many purpose including tracking. RFID interrogators are used to retrieve information from tags. In many applications, RFID interrogators and RFID tags remain stationary during interrogation. Regions of low energy due to interference from either additional antenna or reflections from RFID tags and objects can impede or prohibit the reading of RFID tags residing in such regions. Stirring of the generated electromagnetic field is a method of moving around the regions of low energy, where tags can not be read, during the interrogation process. Mechanical stirring is accomplished by introducing a conductor into the electromagnetic field and moving it about in the field. Solid state stirring is accomplished by introducing a variable conductor into the field and varying the conductivity of the variable conductor. Mathematical stirring is accomplished by use of a plurality of antenna and controlling the phase difference between the antenna in a configuration known as phased antenna arrays.

US Patent:
20030214411, Nov 20, 2003
Filed:
Mar 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/396910
Inventors:
Ronald Walter - Anaheim CA, US
Robert Bell - Encinitas CA, US
Taylor Gahr - San Diego CA, US
Gary Bann - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
G08B023/00
US Classification:
340/573400, 340/539110
Abstract:
A system comprised of a parent and child unit perform multiple position-dependent functions. The parent and child unit each comprises a directional antenna, power source, transceiver, processor and memory. The processor is coupled to the transceiver to control transmission and reception in each unit according to a predetermined stored protocol. The parent unit has a directional antenna and the child unit has an omnidirectional antenna. The transceivers in the units bidirectionally communicate to automatically perform one or more of the multiple position-dependent functions including electronic leash, finder, and proximity functions. Typically, a plurality of child units bidirectionally communicate with the parent unit to automatically perform the multiple position-dependent functions over a plurality of frequencies, by means of a plurality of different digital codes or both. The invention also comprises a method comprised of the steps necessary for performing the functions.

Systems And Methods For Tracking The Location Of Items Within A Controlled Area

US Patent:
20050052281, Mar 10, 2005
Filed:
Sep 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/658016
Inventors:
Gary Bann - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
H04B001/38
US Classification:
340539130, 340010100, 340539200
Abstract:
A location tracking system for tracking the location of items within a controlled area comprises a plurality of RFID tags located according to the required accuracy of the location determinations. Vehicles configured to transport items being tracked include two RFID interrogators configured to acquire RFID information from the plurality of RFID tags and to transmit the RFID tag information to a location authority. The separation the two RFID interrogators is set based on the spacing of the plurality of RFID tags such that the required accuracy results. The location authority can then simply map the RFID tag information to coordinate information stored for each of the plurality of tags to obtain the location of the vehicle and, therefore, the item being transported.

Systems And Methods For Synchronizing A Plurality Of Rfid Interrogators In A Theatre Of Operation

View page
US Patent:
20080018489, Jan 24, 2008
Filed:
Jun 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/766749
Inventors:
James Kruest - San Diego CA, US
Gary Bann - Cary NC, US
Assignee:
NEOLOGY, INC. - Poway CA
International Classification:
H04L 7/00
H04Q 5/22
US Classification:
340825200
Abstract:
RFID tags are used for many purpose including tracking. RFID interrogators are used to retrieve information from tags. In many applications, a plurality of RFID interrogators are required. Synchronization between interrogators in the same theatre of operation is critical to ensure that their broadcasts do not interfere with each other. In fixed RFID interrogator applications, RFID interrogators can be wired together allowing a channel to synchronize the transmissions of the RFID interrogators. Methods described herein can ensure that synchronization is maintained in the event of the failure of a synchronizing master. Furthermore, additional methods for synchronizing RFID interrogators in wireless applications are described allowing synchronization in the absence of wired connections between interrogators.
