  • Patent number: 11455883
    Abstract: An article of clothing can include a clothing body adapted to be worn by a user. The article of clothing can include a pocket assembly formed as part of the clothing body. The pocket assembly can include an inner panel disposed as a part of the pocket assembly. The inner panel can include an electrically conductive material. The pocket assembly can also include an outer panel disposed as a part of the pocket assembly that is farther than the inner panel from a user wearing the article of clothing. The article of clothing can include an RFID tag coupled to the clothing body. The RFID tag can store radio-frequency shielding information regarding the electrically conductive material of the article of clothing.

  • Patent number: 11132595
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a plurality of antennas. The apparatus can include a first transceiver coupled to the plurality of antennas. The apparatus can include a second transceiver. The second transceiver can be an RFID transceiver. The apparatus can include a controller coupled to the first transceiver and coupled to the RFID transceiver. The controller can detect the presence of an RFID tag. The controller can retrieve, in response to detecting the presence of the RFID tag, information corresponding to the RFID tag. The information can include radio-frequency shielding information regarding electrically conductive material of an article of clothing. The controller can adjust the first transceiver based on the information retrieved corresponding to the RFID tag.
