  • Publication number: 20070244821
    Abstract: Apparatus preventing unauthorized copying of a document includes a secure document reproducing system having a document input device to receive and reproduce the secure document. A reader device detects an electronic data storage device affixed to the document and reads authorization information stored therein.

  • Publication number: 20070188342
    Abstract: A locating system for an archive having multiple objects stored therein includes an RFID reader device having an RFID reader to detect and read RFID tags on the objects. A central processing unit includes a database to store information on each object in the archive, a location engine operating system in communication with the RFID reader device, and a data structure to store a relative position of each object in the archive relative to each other object in the archive. A method of locating an object within an archive containing multiple objects includes carrying an RFID reader device through the archive. The RFID reader device queries each RFID tag for the identifier associated with the RFID tag and determines whether each identifier is an old identifier stored in a memory or a new identifier not stored in the memory.
