  • Patent number: 7728714
    Abstract: When a reader of a Radio Frequency Identification (RF-ID) system sends out a command signal to the RF-ID tag and receives a response signal from the RF-ID tag, an End of Signal (EOS) of the received response signal is detected such that the next command signal can be transmitted within a time. Accordingly, response signal can be detected even under the environment of poor signal to noise ratio performance, and the EOS of the response signal from the RF-ID tag can be recognized with ease and speed.

  • Patent number: 7345122
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a high stereospecific (isotactic) polybutylene polymer comprising the step of polymerizing a reactive monomer, 1-butene, which is used or is not used as a solvent, in the presence of catalyst and inert gas. According to the present invention, it is possible to prepare a high stereospecific polybutylene polymer in much higher activity than that of any other known processes for the preparation of a high stereospecific polybutylene polymer. The high stereospecific polybutylene polymer according to the present invention is a homopolymer of 1-butene, or a copolymer containing a-olefin and up to 40% by weight of a comonomer, wherein titanium in the catalyst residues is not detected in the ppm level, stereospecificity (Isotactic Index, mmmm %) determined by 13C-NMR is 96 or more, molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) is 3-6, and molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) can be controlled to 8 or more.

  • Publication number: 20070086546
    Abstract: A baseband receiver using a transition trigger and a method thereof are disclosed. The baseband receiver is provided in a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader in order to receive a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) signal, and can improve a bit error rate (BER) performance by mapping transition waveforms generated whenever the received signal is triggered on new symbols, and filtering the new symbols to recover to the original symbols. Since no complex and high performance DC drift estimator is required and DC drifts can stably be removed along with white noise among noise components, it is possible to improve BER.
