Abstract: A portable communication device for initiating communication between the dog and the dog owner is disclosed. The device comprises an IR emitter module projecting the series of virtual buttons on the ground and displaying images of the virtual buttons that can be pressed by the paw of the dog. A camera module is provided to record angle of infrared light emitted by the IR emitter module. A sensor module receives information of the angle of infrared light from the camera module and analyzing the information to determine location of the infrared light broken in order to indicate at least one virtual button selected by the dog from the series of virtual buttons. A processor module is configured to perform confirmation regarding selection made by the dog through and passing of information of the at least one virtual button selected by the dog to the dog owner.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention are an RFID device including an RFID tag, an antenna, and a programmable logic. The RFID tag is inside a custom screw of an eyeglass frame configured to track and identify the eyeglass frame. The antenna is inside the custom screw of the eyeglass frame configured to receive a transmitted signal to collect and power the RFID tag. The programmable logic is inside the custom screw of the eyeglass frame configured to process and store transmission and sensor data. Barcodes are eliminated because a person using a barcode reader has the burden of scanning every item one-by-one, and assuring that the tag is within the line of sight of the reader.

Abstract: The RFID tag of the embodiments of the present invention includes an integrated circuit for storing and processing information that modulates and demodulates radio-frequency (RF) signals, apparatus of collecting the AC power signal from an incident reader, and an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. The RFID tag information is stored in a non-volatile memory. The RFID tag includes either fixed or programmable logic for processing the transmission and sensor data, respectively.

Abstract: The RFID tag of the embodiments of the present invention includes an integrated circuit for storing and processing information that modulates and demodulates radio-frequency (RF) signals, apparatus of collecting DC power from an incident reader signal, and an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. The RFID tag information is stored in a non-volatile memory. The RFID tag includes either fixed or programmable logic for processing the transmission and sensor data, respectively.

Abstract: A method for parking space control including the steps of: a) flying a drone at regular intervals along a predefined path that covers an area of a parking lot; b) scanning and registering the parking lot; c) using, by software, features detection techniques as a part of image analysis algorithms; d) scanning and searching data from the parking lot for similarities within a given time period to form an analysis; e) determining, by the analysis, two outcomes for a specific parking lot including either a new vehicle is parked or an old vehicle is still located at the same parking lot; f) registering new vehicles at the time of detection; g) registering and checking longer parked vehicles' stay time for violation; h) determining if there is a violation; i) flagging and marking the vehicle(s) on a smart phone or tablet for an officer to view, locate, and ticket, if the answer to step h is yes; j) determining if the parking time exceeds the one allowed in the area of the parking lot; k) flagging ticket alerts on th

Abstract: Sprinkler control units, that are designed to control water usage in residential and commercial above ground sprinkler systems, are disclosed herein. The sprinkler control units operate with any above-ground sprinkler system. They require reduced external power, and use the water flowing through the device to generate power. and are powered by the water flowing through the module. The modules are built with buried sensors that measure the ground saturation level, thus altering the water supply provided through the sprinkler system(s).
