Patent number: 11790191Abstract: A magnetic field induction coupled RFID system for scanning and reading at least one object having an RFID tag or inlay label device attached or embedded therein to impart a unique identity to each of the objects. The RFID tag has two distinct modes of air interface protocol operation, such that the tag is capable of being read at close proximity range by a device utilizing a command-and-control protocol, such as an NFC-protocol compatible smartphone or similarly functioning device, and alternatively by an RFID reader utilizing a different protocol capable of supporting efficient high-speed anti-collision features for enabling fast inventorying at item level of retail store items, warehousing, customs and logistics operations over considerably greater interrogation distances, where both protocols utilize substantially the same carrier frequency.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: RADICALID, Inc.Inventors: Leigh Holbrook Turner, Allan Hugh Goodman

Patent number: 11030429Abstract: A magnetic field induction coupled RFID system for scanning and reading at least one object having an RFID tag or inlay label device attached or embedded therein to impart a unique identity to each of the objects. The RFID tag has two distinct modes of air interface protocols operating in the same frequency band (e.g., HF band), such that the tag is capable of being read at close proximity range by a device utilizing a command-and-control protocol, such as an NFC-protocol compatible smartphone or similarly functioning device, and alternatively by an RFID reader utilizing a different protocol capable of supporting efficient high-speed anti-collision features for enabling fast inventorying at item level of retail store items, warehousing, customs and logistics operations over considerably greater interrogation distances. The passive RFID can further include a third mode of air interface protocol operating in a different (second), e.g.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: RADICALID, INC.Inventors: Leigh Holbrook Turner, Allan Hugh Goodman

Patent number: 6992567Abstract: An electronic label reading system includes an interrogator including a transmitter and a receiver. The system also has a transmitter antenna connected to the transmitter for generating an interrogation electromagnetic field through which objects possessing code responding labels may pass. The code responding labels include label receiving antennas for receiving from the interrogation field a label interrogation signal, and generate label reply signals, and, from the label reply signals, reply electromagnetic fields. The system also has a receiver antenna connected to the receiver for receiving the reply signals from the label reply fields. The interrogation field and label reply fields provide a communication channel from the labels to the interrogator, and the interrogator signals to the labels condition information indicative of the condition of the communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Gemplus Tag (Australia) PTY LTDInventors: Peter H.

Publication number: 20030067414Abstract: An electronic label reading system is disclosed having an interrogator including a transmitter for generating an interrogation signal and a receiver for detecting and decoding a reply signal. The system also has an interrogation field creation means including a transmitter antenna connected to the transmitter for generating from the interrogation signal an interrogation electromagnetic field through which objects possessing code responding labels may pass. The code responding labels include label receiving antennas for receiving from the interrogation field a label interrogation signal, means for generating label reply signals, and means for generating from the label reply signals, reply electromagnetic fields. The system also has a receiver antenna connected to the receiver for receiving the reply signals from the label reply fields.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2002Publication date: April 10, 2003Inventors: Peter H Cole, David Malcolm Hall, Leigh Holbrook Turner, Richard Kalinowski

Patent number: 5793305Abstract: An identification system having an electronic label for processing articles such as baggage or carrier cargo. The system uses the principle of electromagnetic communication in which an interrogator containing a transmitter generates an electromagnetic field through which the electronic label containing a label receiving antenna may pass. The electronic label is attached to the article being processed and includes means for sensing the electromagnetic field and means for generating intermittently repeated label reply signals. The system includes a receiver for detecting and decoding the label reply signal. The electronic label replies intermittently as long as it is within the electromagnetic field, and the field is maintained for a period of time which is greater than the time interval between the intermittently repeated label replies.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1995Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Inventors: Leigh Holbrook Turner, Peter Harold Cole
