  • PORTABLE RADIO-FREQUENCY REPEATER
    Publication number: 20130122803
    Abstract: A portable radio-frequency repeater includes a housing and a transceiver. The transceiver is disposed at least partially within the housing and configured to alternatively operate in a transmitting mode and a sleep mode. The transceiver includes an antenna and a control unit. The control unit is in electrical communication with the antenna. When the transceiver operates in the transmitting mode, the control unit is configured to receive an RFID signal from the antenna, convert the RFID signal into a converted RFID signal, and transmit the converted RFD signal to the antenna. When the transceiver operates in the sleep mode, the control unit is configured to detect an interrogation signal from the antenna and not to transmit any converted RFID signal to the antenna.

  • DUAL MODE CHIP HAVING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION AND ELECTRONIC ARTICLE SURVEILLANCE CAPABILITY
    Publication number: 20130105584
    Abstract: A dual mode detection device provides both radio frequency identification and electronic article surveillance functionality. The device includes a dual mode microchip including a logic circuit and a non-volatile memory, the dual mode microchip having an electronic article surveillance (EAS) capability and a radio frequency identification (RFID) capability. An antenna is operatively coupled to the microchip for operation of the RFID capability. A coil is operatively coupled to the microchip and a capacitor is integrated into the microchip such that the coil resonates at a specific frequency, wherein exceeding a breakdown voltage of the capacitor alters a state of a memory location in the non-volatile memory.

  • RFID-BASED DEVICES AND METHODS FOR INITIALIZING A SENSOR
    Publication number: 20130106396
    Abstract: An RFID-based analyte sensor is provided with an antenna adapted to receive energy from an RF field and produce a signal. A sensing material is electrically connected to the antenna and has an electrical property which varies in the presence of an analyte. An energy storage device is also electrically connected to the antenna and is adapted to receive and store energy from the antenna and selectively discharge the stored energy. An initializing element is electrically connected to the energy storage device and is energized by the stored energy discharged by the energy storage device. When the initializing element is energized, it operates to reduce the analyte content of at least a portion of the sensing material, effectively initializing the sensing material.
