  • Publication number: 20210027244
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated monitoring of inventory are disclosed. In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure, automated monitoring is achieved through the use of active tags, such as RFID tags, that are coupled to inventory and tracked by communication nodes. The tags are designed to consume a low amount of power while ensuring robust wireless communication. Indeed, the tags are capable of communicating with remote nodes even when the tags are buried in stacks of inventory items, and the system is scalable to handle a large number of tags.

  • Patent number: 10715465
    Abstract: An asset tracking system has a plurality of anchors. A tag communicates with the anchors as it is moved by a user being tracked by the system, and data based on communication between the tag and at least one of the anchors is transmitted to a server. The server determines a location of the tag based on the data and detects an occurrence of an event based on the location. The server also transmits to each of the anchors a tag alert message having a tag identifier identifying the tag and an event indicator associated with the occurrence of the event. At least one of the anchors transmits the tag identifier and the event indicator to the tag, which issues a warning to the user in response to tag alert message.

  • Patent number: 10289966
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for dynamic seating and workspace planning. A server computing device determines an identity and a workspace location of people within a facility by analyzing digital images from cameras at the facility and data elements of interactions with hardware devices at the facility. The server computing device determines the workspace location for each person within the facility using (i) a physical location associated with a digital image in which the person appears and (ii) a physical location associated with at least one of the hardware devices being used by the person. The server computing device generates a workspace reservation chart indicating a portion of workspace locations currently being used and a portion of workspace locations reserved for future use. The server computing device provides advice to remove computing devices regarding available workspace locations at the facility.

  • Publication number: 20190060737
    Abstract: According to one aspect, an apparatus for reducing the speed or acceleration of motion of a skateboard and its user is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the apparatus includes one or more friction elements that are removably affixed to a substantially flat resilient member at a location near the first end of the resilient member typically proximate to the rear wheel mounting truck; the resilient member is then affixed by fasteners upon its opposite and second end to the underneath face of the platform of the skateboard, typically proximate to or forward of the center of the platform.

  • Patent number: 9654933
    Abstract: A wireless network has a plurality of nodes that are configured to communicate electrical signals via a backhaul channel in which messages hop from node-to-node through the network. The nodes have optical transmitters for communicating with tags via an optical channel that is time division multiplexed (TDM) among the nodes of the network. The nodes are configured to transmit an electrical synchronization signal via the backhaul channel and to synchronize transmissions for the optical channel based on the electrical synchronization signal. Thus, use of the backhaul channel to communicate the synchronization signal leverages the existing framework of the network in order to synchronize the optical transmitters without requiring specialized synchronization circuitry, and a robust TDM algorithm can be implemented for the optical channel with relatively low complexity and costs.
