  • Patent number: 8074260
    Abstract: An interactively authorizing access control method applicable to an access control center is disclosed. According to the present invention, an effective time interval can be set for the permit by an authorized person of the object according to his/her usual pass time such that when the access control center identifies the permit is valid, the effectiveness of the permit can be further determined according to the effective time interval set by the authorized person, thereby determining whether the object is allowed to pass.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7568211
    Abstract: The invention discloses a system and method to implement a business model for advertising revenue that allows advertising hosts to reliably detect registered audience members who respond to advertisements by coming into close physical proximity of designated locations, so that corresponding advertisers may be billed accordingly. A host system operated by the advertising hosts includes a data processing module, an electronic environment, advertisements, and a data communications network. The electronic environment presents content associated with that environment and the advertisements. Audience members who see the advertisements and respond by coming into close proximity to the designated locations associated with the advertisements are then detected by readers. An embodiment of the system and method utilizes RFID tags placed at the designated locations, and it utilizes RFID readers cared by audience members used to detect the tags when audience members come into close proximity of the tags.

  • Patent number: 7385512
    Abstract: A flexible radio frequency identification label and a method for fabricating the same are proposed. A first flexible protection layer is attached to a second flexible protection layer to form a closed space for receiving a radio frequency identification circuit. By such arrangement, a good flexibility can be provided by the flexible protection layers, and the closed space also enables the radio frequency identification circuit to be protected and isolated from the moisture in the outside environment, such that the circuit can be prevented from being oxidized and the service life of the product can be extended.

  • Publication number: 20050000361
    Abstract: An adjustable eddy electrostatic precipitator, comprising a main body, an electrode array, an adjustable opening and a precipitating device. The main body has an inner space with an air guiding plate of helical shape, an entrance for air and an exit for air. The electrode array is placed close to the entrance, ionizing air as well as particles floating therein. The adjustable opening is located at the exit, having an adjustable aperture. The precipitating device is connected with a bias high voltage for adsorbing ionized particles. Air entering the main body through the entrance is ionized, ionizing particles floating therein. Ionized particles are driven towards a single zone and are collected depending on size and charge in an adjustable manner.
