Publication number: 20190311163Abstract: RFID systems are disclosed that include at least one RFID receiver system and a distributed exciter architecture. Exciters can be connected via wired and/or wireless connections to the RFID receiver system, which can control activation of the exciters to detect the presence of RFID tags within interrogation spaces defined by the exciter topology. One embodiment includes an RFID receiver system configured to detect information from RFID tags within a receive coverage area, and a plurality of exciters defining a plurality of interrogation spaces within the receive coverage area of the receiver system. The receiver system is configured to transmit a control signal that identifies one of the exciters and includes information indicative of an RFID tag interrogation signal, the exciters are configured to receive the control signal, and the exciter identified in the control signal is configured to illuminate an interrogation space with the RFID tag interrogation signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2019Publication date: October 10, 2019Applicant: Mojix, Inc.Inventors: Ramin Sadr, John Gevargiz, Robert Lee, Majid Manteghi, Gordon Oliver, Michael Collender, Christopher Jones, Syed Hassan Yousaf

Publication number: 20070103546Abstract: A movie theater that includes a screen located between the front and back of the movie theater, a substantially spherically concave mirror proximal the front of the movie theater; and a viewing volume located between the screen and the mirror such that (i) each observer in the viewing volume can see in their respective pair of eyes a reflection in the mirror of a scene that is displayed on the screen, and (ii) any observer at substantially all locations within the viewing volume can see a three dimensional view of the scene displayed on the screen. For each observer (i) a substantially identical reflection from the substantially spherical concave mirror of the moving pictures on the substantially spherical convex screen will be received at the observer's retinas, and (ii) substantially all of the observers can see a three dimensional view of the moving pictures.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2006Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventors: Robert Collender, Michael Collender
