  • Usage, condition and location tag and system
    Patent number: 11586870
    Abstract: A Usage, Condition and Location System (UCLS) tag is provided, which is an active RFID tag that, in addition to location, is configured to determine the usage state and operating condition of a device. The UCLS tag includes sensors that measure physical activity of the associated equipment (vibration, magnetic activity, temperature, etc.). Algorithms may use the information obtained from the UCLS tags to map the measured sensor data to a contextual usage state and operating condition of the device.

  • Cold storage health monitoring system
    Patent number: 10240861
    Abstract: A monitoring system for a cold storage device such as a vapor compression refrigerator or freezer. The monitoring system learns operating characteristics of the cold storage device and issues alarm notifications when abnormal behavior is detected. Such a system can be used as an “early warning system” to flag when a cold storage device is not operating properly. Such a system could be particularly valuable in applications that make mission-critical use of cold storage devices, e.g., biomedical or pharmaceutical research labs, blood or tissue banks, grocery stores, restaurants, and the like.

  • Active RFID asset tracking tag with current-sensing cable clamp
    Patent number: 10126334
    Abstract: Configurations are provided for measuring electrical current flow through an AC power cable to a host device. An enclosure is provided that includes various components, such as components of an active RFID tag. A cable clamp is provided that is configured to attach the enclosure to the AC power cable. The cable clamp includes magnetic sensors that are responsive to electrical current flowing through the AC cable to generate signals indicative of the current flowing through the AC cable.
