  • Patent number: 12254365
    Abstract: The invention relates to an RFID tag (2, 3) for being fastened to a textile (30), the RFID tag (2, 3) having a transponder unit (5), which is attached to a bendable carrier material (4) and has an integrated circuit (6) having a conductor structure (8, 9) electrically connected via contact surfaces (7). The carrier material (4) is designed as a conductor structure (8) having a longitudinal slot (10, 11), which separates the contact surfaces (7) of opposite polarity from each other, the carrier material (4) being strip-shaped and having a length (L)-to-width (W) ratio which is a multiple of ten of the width. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for fastening the RFID tag (2, 3) to a textile (30).

  • Publication number: 20240370847
    Abstract: An account is managed using information read from a dual frequency transponder. Information stored on the dual frequency transponder can be read by a NFC-enabled device and by a UHF RFID reader. The information links, corresponds, or otherwise provides access to account information stored at a remote server. For example, a NFC-enabled device can read the information from the dual frequency transponder and use that information to enable instant and on-the-spot recharging of a toll account. In addition, a UHF RFID toll reader can scan information from the dual frequency transponder and use that information to debit toll charges from the correct toll account. The dual frequency transponder can be embedded in a license plate and read using a reader placed in the road. Additionally, the transponder can be configured to function at the correct frequency only when a valid vehicle registration sticker is applied to the license plate.

  • Publication number: 20240003757
    Abstract: A motor or work machine having a housing part, a stator element, a rotor element with a monitoring device for monitoring a state parameter of the rotor. The monitoring device includes a sensor unit contains a coupling element and a conductor structure, SAW sensor element connecting the aforementioned elements, and a query unit. The query unit preferably operates according to the S-FSCW principle. The unit has a signal generator for generating query signals and a coupling structure. The coupling structure is positioned along an air gap formed between the rotor element and stator element or a section of the housing covered by the coupling element when the rotor element is rotated. The positioning is such that a coupling is enabled between the coupling structure and the coupling element for signal transmission over the air gap. The query unit has an evaluation circuit for evaluating received response signals.

  • Publication number: 20230004152
    Abstract: Method for monitoring and/or predicting machining processes and/or machining outcomes in mechanical workpiece machining carried out by a workpiece processing machine operable by specifiable operating parameters and having at least one machining tool. The monitoring and/or predicting occurs via a computer program product evaluation algorithm executed on a computer on the basis of training data sets. The training data sets include, as training data, adjustment data relating to adjustment of operating parameters of the workpiece processing machine for carrying out a machining process to be monitored and/or predicted. The training data sets further include outcome data of workpieces finished in a machining process to be monitored and/or predicted, and state data of the processing machine, determined by sensor, during a machining process to be monitored and/or predicted. In use, capture of outcome data by prediction made on the basis of machine-learned knowledge is avoided or reduced.

  • Patent number: 10909339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting objects, comprising a plurality of RFID data carriers (DT1-DT9) designed as tags, one data carrier being assigned to each object and the data carriers forming an RFID data carrier population with a random distribution of the RFID data carriers in a data carrier vicinity and at least one mobile read device (R1-R5). The read device, in an active operating mode, moves between at least two different positions in the data carrier vicinity and receives object data or position data of the RFID data carriers that are within range of the read device, such that a data carrier association is made in the read device, in accordance with the position of the latter, between an RFID data carrier and the read device and an object data record or position data record is created and then said object data record or position data record is transmitted to a network interface (NS) within transmission range of the read device.
