Patent number: 10423872Abstract: An object identification device includes a visual indicator, an RFID module, and an NFC assembly. The RFID module includes identification data. The RFID module harvests power from an electromagnetic field and may continuously direct that power to the visual indicator upon reception of a command conveyed by the electromagnetic field. The NFC assembly includes data associated with the identification data included in the RFID module. The NFC assembly may transmit the data included therein to a consumer communication device having NFC capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignees: SPACECODE, WINSTEAD ASSETSInventors: Eric Gout, Christophe Raoult

Patent number: 9361567Abstract: The invention concerns an inductor comprising a plurality of so-called first conductors (100 to 109) substantially parallel to one another, at least three of said first conductors being substantially mutually equidistant and distributed over a surface (120), and an electric power supply (140) of said conductors adapted to circulate an electric current in the same direction in said conductors. Preferably, said conductors are more densely distributed at the ends of the surface (120) comprising them. Preferably, the inductor further comprises a plurality of second substantially parallel conductors perpendicular to the first conductors, the electric power supply circulating an electric current in the same direction on said second conductors. Preferably, the inductor further comprises a plurality of third conductors forming closed turns, the electric power supply circulating an electric current in the same direction in said third conductors.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: WINSTEAD ASSETS LIMITEDInventors: Georges Folcke, Eric Gout, Christophe Raoult

Publication number: 20120031971Abstract: A product that has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped comprises at least one metallic part with at least one narrow edge. The product further comprises an electronic tag having an antenna positioned substantially perpendicular to a narrow edge of said at least one metallic part. A paper label is positioned on at least one of the following sides of the product: (i) a side opposite to a side of the product bearing said electronic tag, and (ii) a side of the product adjacent to a side of the product bearing said electronic tag on one of its small sides.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Applicant: WINSTEAD ASSETS LIMITEDInventors: Georges FOLCKE, Eric GOUT, Christophe RAOULT

Publication number: 20100271795Abstract: An antenna assembly (AA) for an RFID system comprises a main winding (WM) that extends over a volume (VI). The antenna assembly (AA) further comprises an auxiliary winding (WA), which is concentrated at one side of the volume (VI). The auxiliary winding (WA) is electrically coupled to the main winding (WM) and arranged so that these respective windings produce respective magnetic fields of similar orientation in response to a drive signal. The antenna assembly (AA) can be disposed in a storage space (SP) that is delimited by walls of electrically conductive material, such as, for example, a metal cabinet. The antenna assembly (AA) allows reliable RFID operation within the storage space (SP). The volume (VI) over which the main winding (WM) extends is preferably only 2 to 20% smaller than that of the storage space (SP).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2009Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicants: SPACECODE, WINSTEAD ASSETSInventors: Georges Folcke, Eric Gout, Christophe Raoult

Publication number: 20080314980Abstract: The rack (100) comprises: on at least one wall (105), at least one antenna (110) comprising at least two coplanar loops through at least one of which current flows in the clockwise direction and, simultaneously, through at least one other loop, the current flows in the anticlockwise direction, a signal generation circuit (115) to generate signals transmitted by each said antenna, to generate an electromagnetic field, and a circuit (115) for reception of signals modulating said magnetic field. Preferably, the rack comprises products equipped with electronic tags and paper labels, said electronic tags positioned on one side of the product opposite another side of the product bearing a paper label. Preferably, the rack comprises at least one opening, the circuit for generation of signals transmitted by the antennae being slaved to closure of said opening to read the electronic tags after at least one time interval predetermined according to the time of said closure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2006Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicants: MEDITRACE SAS, WINSTEAD ASSETS LIMITEDInventors: Georges Folcke, Eric Gout, Christophe Raoult
