  • Low energy mesh network with virtual item container
    Patent number: 11197133
    Abstract: A low energy mesh network system, including a mesh network; a central station, a low energy enhanced positional accuracy low energy (EPALE) central station and product local fixed enhanced positional accuracy low energy (EPALE) beacons. The mesh network defines a virtual item container having virtual item container nodes defining boundaries for a physical container. The mesh network tracks items to be positioned within the physical container.

  • Superheterodyne receiver with improved immunity to spurious noise interference
    Patent number: 9496908
    Abstract: A super-heterodyne receiver includes a plurality of input filters configured to receive an input signal and divide up a tuning range of the input signal into a plurality of respective bands, wherein the input filters are divided into a plurality of filter sets, each having a respective filter set output, and each of the input filters has a center frequency and a bandwidth. The receiver further includes a first amplifier having an input coupled to a first filter set output and an output coupled to a first mixer; a second amplifier having an input coupled to a second filter set output and an output coupled to a second mixer. The first filter set comprises a first plurality of input filters having respective center frequencies ranging from approximately 1250 MHz to 6250 MHz, a second plurality of input filters having respective center frequencies ranging from approximately 8250 MHz to 18500 MHz, and a third plurality of center frequencies ranging from approximately 24000 MHz to 38000 MHz.
