Abstract: A system and method for ordering various types of articles includes: an input device for each person enabling the person to order designated articles to be delivered to a designated seat and row in a seat section; an article source for supplying articles designated in each order; a conveyor system having a first conveyor section extending along a first axis from the article source, and a second conveyor section extending along a second axis from the first conveyor section to the seats of the seat section; and a central control in communication with the input devices for receiving orders therefrom and for controlling the conveyor system to convey the articles designated in each order to a compartment at a convenient location to the occupant of the seat and row designated in the respective order.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling pointing devices such as cameras according to the movements of an objects, such as balls or selected players of interest by attaching to the object, an RFID which, when triggered, transmits the identification of the object and detecting the transmitted identification at of different locations to define the instantaneous space location of the object. The detected identifications are inputted into an RTLP (Real-Time Location Processor) to produce tracking signals which cause the pointing device to track the movements of the object in a real-time manner. Another signal, is also derived from the RTLP defining another instantaneous condition of the object, and is also fed to the pointing device to control another parameter, such as the magnification or the displayed field-of-view, of the pointing device in a real-time manner.

Abstract: Surveillance apparatus and method include a surveillance processor; a requestor terminal communicating with the surveillance processor for requesting information regarding a particular site of an object; a plurality of responder terminals; and a location processor for determining the locations of the responder terminals with respect to the particular site. The novelty is characterized in that the apparatus and method further include a media processor for relaying messages regarding the particular site to the responder terminals; and in that the information requested by the requestor terminal from the surveillance processor includes the locations of the responder terminals to be stored when located, by the location processor, within a specified distance from the particular site.

Abstract: Apparatus, and methods utilizing such apparatus, are described for displaying information regarding an object including a terminal for collecting, manipulating, and displaying information regarding the object, and a location processor for determining the location of the terminal with respect to the object. The apparatus further includes an access processor programmed to deny a user of the terminal access to the information when the distance between the terminal and the object exceeds a specified value. The apparatus and methods are particularly useful when implemented in a hospital setting in which the user is a medical provider, the object is a patient, and the terminal is a mobile terminal.

Abstract: A method of marking a product to permit later identification and tracking of the product, includes: utilizing a processor for producing information as to the identification and history of the product since its production; converting the information into a code in the form of a unique monomers sequence embedded in or added to the product; and introducing the code into the respective product in a retrievable and non-destructible manner such as to enable the identification and history of the respective product to be retrieved despite transformations which may have occurred in the product since its production.
