20080252423 | Antenna Design and Interrogator System - A series of parallel spaced conductors through which currents are sequentially switched. A spatial relationship of the sequentially switched currents is chosen such that, at different times, tangential and normal magnetic fields are produced at the same location. The conductors are preferably arranged in a planar fashion and the tangential and normal magnetic fields are produced above the planar surface. A single layer of parallel spaced conductors provides substantially two dimensional operations. Adding a second parallel layer of orthogonally oriented parallel spaced conductors provides substantially three dimensional operations where currents are sequentially switched in both layers. | 10-16-2008 |
20080267331 | Method and Apparatus Adapted to Demodulate a Data Signal - The present invention relates to the field of receiving data and/or demodulating a data transmission signal. The present invention provides a method of and/or device for determining a data signal imposed on a phase jitter modulation signal. In one form, the invention relates to the field of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and the transmission of data between a tag and an interrogator. | 10-30-2008 |
20100002803 | COMMUNICATION METHOD AND DEVICE - The present invention relates to the field of communication and transmission of signals. In particular, the present invention relates to a new communication and/or modulation method. The present invention also relates to improving channel occupancy. The present specification discloses the adoption of phase transitions/changes in a manner that indicates a code by virtue of their position (timing) in the communication. This is referred to as Phase Position Modulation. | 01-07-2010 |
20110121945 | ANTENNA DESIGN AND INTERROGATOR SYSTEM - Where a single cable conveys bidirectional RF signals and bidirectional data using a data carrying DC power signal where the RF signals and the bidirectional data carrying DC power signal are separated using frequency selective networks. Alternatively a single cable conveys bidirectional RF signals and bidirectional data using a modulated RF data signal where the RF signals and the bidirectional modulated RF data signal are separated using frequency selective networks. A array of switchable antennas where RF switching elements are integral to the antennas is connected to the single cable and is powered by and communicated with through the cable. The array of switchable antennas can be arranged to produce an interrogation field in any of one, two or three dimensions by the antennas being arranged to provide for a series of parallel spaced conductors through which currents are sequentially switched in order to produce both tangential and normal magnetic field components. The spatial relationship of the sequentially switched currents is chosen to ensure that at different times a tangential and a normal magnetic field are produced at the same location. The conductors are preferably arranged in a planar fashion and the tangential and normal magnetic fields are produced above the planar surface. A single layer of parallel spaced conductors provides for one or two dimensional operations. Adding a second parallel layer of orthogonally oriented parallel spaced conductors provides three dimensional operations where currents are sequentially switched in both layers. | 05-26-2011 |
20110204148 | DEVICE HAVING DATA STORAGE - The present invention relates to the field of devices which store data for a period of time.
