20110163849 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR STIRRING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND INTERROGATING STATIONARY RFID TAGS - 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. | 07-07-2011 |

20150022323 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZING A PLURALITY OF RFID INTERROGATORS IN A THEATRE OF OPERATION - 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. | 01-22-2015 |

20100294746 | LASER SCRIBING PLATFORM WITH MOVING GANTRY - Laser scribing can be performed on a workpiece such as a substrate with layers formed thereon for use in a solar cell without need to move the workpiece during the scribing process. A series of lasers can be used to concurrently remove material from multiple positions on the workpiece. These laser outputs are directed to the workpiece using an optical system partially attached to a gantry. The gantry can be moved longitudinally and the portion of the optical system attached to the gantry can be moved laterally so that the combined outputs of all lasers can be directed to substantially any position on the workpiece without moving the workpiece. | 11-25-2010 |

20100186743 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING CHEYNE-STOKES RESPIRATION - A system and method for delivering a flow of breathing gas to an airway of a patient. The system monitors a characteristic that varies based on variations of the flow of the breathing gas and determines a Target Flow for the gas to be delivered to the patient based on the monitored characteristic. The Target Flow is set to a level sufficient to treat Cheyne-Stokes respiration or a sleep disordered breathing event. The system also alters the Target Flow based on a determination that the patient is experiencing a sleep disordered breathing event. The system further determines a pressure relief component and controls the flow of gas delivered to the patient based on the Target Flow and the pressure relief component. | 07-29-2010 |
