Patent number: 12387068Abstract: A radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag includes circuit elements that result in a resonant frequency that differs from the excitation frequency of an RFID reader. The RFID tag, when stacked with other similar RFID tags, channels the magnetic flux density field (B-field) through the stack to power each of the tags in the stack. As a result, the B-Field is collimated in a manner that increases the sensitivity (read range) in one dimension (up a stack of chips) while simultaneously limiting the sensitivity in the two lateral dimensions, thereby providing precise spatial resolution of each tag as to its location on a gaming table.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2024Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: Fortiss, LLCInventors: Forrest S. Seitz, Tyler J. Seitz, Joshua K. Hoyt

Patent number: 12387067Abstract: A gaming table contains a number of antennas that are de-tuned from the resonant frequency of a single RFID tag. This increases the power required to read the single tag but matches the resonant frequency for reading a stack of RFID tags. The gaming table may further include a network analyzer and a set of capacitors that are dynamically switched among the antennas according to measuring the reflection coefficient of the antennas.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2024Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: Fortiss, LLCInventors: Tyler J. Seitz, Forrest S. Seitz, Joshua K. Hoyt

Publication number: 20240385312Abstract: System and method of quickly determining the locations of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. Instead of determining the locations based on receiving a full response to the read command, the system uses the initial tag response, which enables it to operate more quickly as part of an initial scan. The system then follows up on the initial scan with read commands to read the RFID tag identifier using only the antennas with RFID tags present, as determined by the initial scan. As a result, the time to determine the locations of the RFID tags is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2024Publication date: November 21, 2024Inventors: Forrest S. Seitz, Tyler J.

Patent number: 11346914Abstract: An RFID system includes multiple antennas and uses amplitude and phase information of the RFID signals received by each antenna to determine the position of RFID tags in the vicinity. More than one antenna can receive the RFID signals during a single read cycle, enabling the RFID system to operate more quickly than a system that energizes antennas separately.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: FORTISS, LLC.Inventors: Forrest S.
