Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein include an apparatus for providing RFID-based locations for items located in an indoor environment including an RFID scanner to transmit interrogating RFID signals and to receive RFID identifiers for RFID tags, the RFID tags being affixed to the items in the indoor environment. The apparatus can additionally include an indoor location tracking device to determine a current location of the apparatus within the indoor environment, wherein the apparatus is mobile and configured to be moved throughout the indoor environment. The apparatus can further include an RFID-location processor to receive RFID data from the RFID scanner and location data from the indoor location tracking device, correlate portions of the RFID data with portions of the location data, and generate RFID-based location data for the items located in the indoor environment based, at least in part, on the correlated portions of the RFID data and the location data.

Abstract: The invention is a system to produce lighted patterns on hubcaps which lighted patterns correspond analogically to sound. Such sound sources are a radio, a CD player, a tape player, a DVD player, or a microphone. A transfer means, either wired or wireless, receive electronic impulses that represent sounds from music source. That transfer means carries the electronic impulses that corresponds analogically to sound to a color transformation device which control the various types of lights. The signals that control the various types of lights are transported either by wire or wireless to a receiver inside hubcaps or to a receiver which is external to the hubcaps. Such an external receiver light source projects various color sequences onto hubcaps. The light source controlled by receiver internal to the hub cap transfers such light by fiber optics or refractory (fresnal lens) materials to the surface of the hubcap.
