Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless communication device including at least three elementary antennas each including at least two loops, two adjacent loops being configured to be traveled by currents having opposite circulation directions, each loop of each antenna delimiting an inner surface called loop surface, in which the elementary antennas are offset two by two in a rectilinear direction and wherein, for each loop of each antenna, a part of the surface of this loop is superimposed with a portion of a loop surface of each other elementary antenna, the part of the loop surface having an area smaller than the area of the loop surface of the loop.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for storing elements each including a first wireless communication unit, the device including: —a receiving support receiving the elements; —a second wireless communication unit generating waves and communicating with each first unit according to a communication protocol, a communication zone being a three-dimensional zone in which the second unit communicates with each first unit when each first unit is located in the zone and does not communicate with a first unit when the first unit is located outside the zone; —a waveguide able to guide the generated waves so that a dimension of the communication zone is strictly greater than a reference dimension, the reference dimension being equal to the dimension of the communication zone when the storage device is without waveguides.

Abstract: A device is provided for storing elements, each element including a first wireless communication unit. The device includes at least two drawer units each including: a drawer including a bottom defining at least one location for receiving an element; for each location, at least one second wireless communication unit including an antenna having a radiation-zone field, each antenna having a first state in which the antenna is activated and a second state in which the antenna is deactivated; and a data-processing unit able to control the activation and deactivation of the antenna of each second communication unit according to a control law.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing at least one container containing a biological product, including the following steps: providing at least one container provided with a label, the label being a wireless communication chip capable of communicating according to a UHF mode and according to a HF mode, the chip being capable of transmitting or receiving a signal having a frequency of between 300 MHz and 3000 MHz in the UHF mode and having a frequency of between 3 MHz and 30 MHz in the HF mode, the label further including a memory; and reading at least one piece of information included in the memory, by a reader, the chip communicating with the reader according to the UHF mode or the HF mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for carrying out an inventory of a plurality of biological product containers, each container and/or each package including containers being provided with an identification label comprising a wireless communication chip. The method includes the steps of: providing a device with a gantry defining a direction of travel; providing a receptacle able to be moved, the receptacle carrying the containers; moving the receptacle in order to cross the gantry in the direction of travel; and reading the wireless communication chip of each container and/or package during the movement of the receptacle.
