  • Patent number: 10942726
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for updating a web application displayed on a client machine. In some implementations, a server maintains a database of application identifiers identifying instances of one or more web applications. The server receives, from a first client machine, a communication identifying a first web application and a first application identifier, the instance of the first web application being associated with one or more components. The server determines that the first application identifier is not included in the database of application identifiers, and generates an updated application identifier for the instance of the first web application based on component version identifiers of the one or more components. The server stores the updated application identifier and transmits a notification to the first client machine indicating that the instance of the first web application is out-of-date.

  • Publication number: 20190311163
    Abstract: RFID systems are disclosed that include at least one RFID receiver system and a distributed exciter architecture. Exciters can be connected via wired and/or wireless connections to the RFID receiver system, which can control activation of the exciters to detect the presence of RFID tags within interrogation spaces defined by the exciter topology. One embodiment includes an RFID receiver system configured to detect information from RFID tags within a receive coverage area, and a plurality of exciters defining a plurality of interrogation spaces within the receive coverage area of the receiver system. The receiver system is configured to transmit a control signal that identifies one of the exciters and includes information indicative of an RFID tag interrogation signal, the exciters are configured to receive the control signal, and the exciter identified in the control signal is configured to illuminate an interrogation space with the RFID tag interrogation signal.

  • Publication number: 20040027261
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a centrally synchronized distributed time-space-time switch fabric wherein connection memory page (CMP) selection information is communicated to remote devices without having to add any extra hardware to the system. The central processor only needs to communicate to the space switch device, and by writing to certain registers in the space switch the processor can control the CMP selection in each of the time switch devices. By providing the page selection information over the same signals that transfer data, these page selection signals do not have to be routed externally or controlled by the distributed software.
