Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a system for monitoring tags in a retail environment. The system includes an exit system including one or more radio frequency identification (RFID) readers that read a tag to obtain exit system measurements associated with a tag detection event. The system includes a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions to configuring each of a plurality of exit gates including a plurality of RFID readers with a different operating frequency than the plurality of RFID readers at an adjacent exit gate. The processor is configured to synchronize the plurality of RFID readers at each exit gate to prevent two readers at the exit gate from concurrently talking with overlapping coverage areas and a same polarization. The processor is configured to detect one or more tags within the coverage areas.

In particular, a series of novel 1-(pyrimidin-4-yl)indoline-4-carboxamide analogs that have been identified as potent and selective GPR52 agonists.

Abstract: A method for operating a sensor includes receiving identification information from one or more electronic identification devices (EIDs) located in a vicinity of the sensor. A number of EIDs located in the vicinity of the sensor is determined based on the received identification information. A determination is made if the number of EIDs located in the vicinity of the sensor exceeds a first predefined threshold. Transmission power to the sensor is selectively adjusted based on the number of EIDs with respect to the first predefined threshold, in response to determining that the number of EIDs located in the vicinity of the sensor exceeds or is less than any number of predefined thresholds.

Abstract: In an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), a radio frequency identification (RFID) subsystem of an EAS system, can detect a presence of an RFID tag in an RFID interrogation zone associated with a boundary of a controlled area. The EAS system can first determine that the RFID tag is not authorized to leave the controlled area across the boundary. A radar subsystem of the EAS system can second determine, within a first window of time around the first detecting, whether an object in motion is associated with the boundary. The EAS system can alarm based upon both determining that the RFID tag is not authorized to leave the controlled area and determining that the object in motion is associated with the boundary.
