  • Patent number: 9312604
    Abstract: The invention provides a boundary radiation prevention structure, comprising: a metal portion, and a guide portion. The metal portion has an incident plane adapted to block an incident electromagnetic wave, wherein the incident electromagnetic wave induces an induced current on the incident plane. The guide portion is located on one border of the incident plane and has a curved surface electrically connected to the metal portion for the induced current to pass through, wherein the curved surface is covered by an absorption layer for absorbing the incident electromagnetic wave and a boundary radiation generated from the induced current radiation.

  • Patent number: 8704642
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an RFID-based intelligent storage cabinet and its management method, while utilizing the shielding effect enabled by each partitions for allowing any electromagnetic wave in one compartment to transmit only inside the confinement of such compartment without interfering another compartment. Each stock keeping unit (SKU) that is to be stored in the RFID-based intelligent storage cabinet is attached with at least one RFID tag, and different SKUs of different usages are sorted so as to be stored in different compartments. Moreover, each RFID reader can be designed to function according to the command of a control device for scanning the corresponding compartment in a periodic manner or non-periodic manner, by that any SKU that is stored in the corresponding compartment can be detected and identified as each RFID reader is also connected to an inventory database, a database of item list, or a memory database.

  • Publication number: 20130141241
    Abstract: At least one omni-directional antenna and at least one directional antenna are both disposed inside the RFID book management security gate, in which the omni-directional antenna can broaden a detection angle and reduce leaky wave of an electromagnetic wave in the library; and the directional antenna strengthens the detection of the case that a book or reference material is grasped, carried under the arm or attached to the body, so as to achieve an objective of effective and security management for the book or reference material. When a user carries the reserved book or reference material through the security gate, an RFID tag on the book or reference material can be effectively detected, which can avoid that the book or reference material without a borrowing procedure is furtively taken away.
