Patent number: 10078814Abstract: An inventory system can include radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and RFID tuners that can be brought into interacting proximity with one another to provide input or other information about the location or other condition of movable elements within the inventory system. For example, interactions of RFID tags and RFID tuners at different locations within an inventory system may be utilized to associate a container or other movable object with particular receiving surfaces at particular points in time to facilitate identification of the whereabouts of the container or other movable object.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jules Cook Graybill, Jonathan David Phillips, Wesley Scott Lauka, Ryan Scott Russell

Patent number: 9928481Abstract: In some examples, a reader system is provided for managing inventory items in an inventory system. The reader system may be configured to read tags associated with items stowed in an inventory holder. The inventory holder may be detachably coupled to a mobile drive unit. The mobile drive unit may move the inventory holder to a first position near an antenna of the reader system and the tags may begin to be read. While reading or at other times in the reading process, the mobile drive unit may move the inventory holder relative to the antenna. The identified tags may be compared to a manifest list of items expected to be stowed in the inventory holder.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Scott Russell, Thomas Matthew Ryle, Wesley Scott Lauka, Jonathan David Phillips, James Hollis Wood

Patent number: 9922306Abstract: In some examples, a mobile reading device is provided. The mobile reading device may include an movement device and a reader device. The reader device may be configured to read, via one or more antennas, identifying tags associated with items. The one or more antennas may be included as part of the mobile reading device, within a holder structure, or in some other structure or device.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Scott Russell, Thomas Matthew Ryle, Jonathan David Phillips, Justin David Kelly, Wesley Scott Lauka, William R.

Patent number: 9589162Abstract: An inventory system can include radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and RFID tuners that can be brought into interacting proximity with one another to provide input or other information about the location or other condition of movable elements within the inventory system. For example, a closed or at least partially open state of a drawer can be determined based on signals from an RFID tag when the RFID tag and a corresponding RFID tuner are mounted on opposing faces of the drawer and a compartment that receives the drawer.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jules Cook Graybill, Jonathan David Phillips, Wesley Scott Lauka, Ryan Scott Russell
