Publication number: 20240330619Abstract: Radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems use readers to query and locate passive RFID tags in stores, warehouses, and other environments. An interrogation signal emitted by an antenna array from a reader powers up the tag, which replies by modulating and backscattering incident radiation toward the reader. The antenna array in the reader detects the modulated and backscattered radiation, which is usually several of orders of magnitude weaker than the interrogation signal, as the tag's reply. Unfortunately, crosstalk between the antenna elements in the antenna array limits the reader's sensitivity, which in turn limits the range at which the reader can detect and locate tags. Increasing the pitch of the antenna array to greater than half the wavelength of the interrogation signal reduces crosstalk but introduces grating lobes that produce spurious replies. Fortunately, filtering these spurious replies yields sensitive measurements from an antenna array with a pitch large enough to suppress crosstalk.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Automaton, Inc.Inventors: James Morse, Joe Mueller, Prokopios Panagiotou, Phillip A. Lindsey, Paul Petrus

Patent number: 12080109Abstract: Processes for determining carbon dioxide emission impact. In one process, a carbon dioxide emission impact is determined for each stage of a multi-stage trip. A traveler may make adjustments to the trip to offset the carbon dioxide emission impact of the entire trip and achieve a desired sustainability level for the trip. In another process, that may be used in the first process, the carbon dioxide emission impact for a vehicle is determined based on the entire life span of the vehicle, including a carbon dioxide emission impact for a production stage, a carbon dioxide emission impact for a usage stage, and a carbon dioxide emission impact for an end of life stage.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Paul Jörn, Markus Müller
