Abstract: A system and method for obtaining an intra-oral X-ray image of a patient. The system includes an information carrier plate having an affixed NFC/RFID tag. The NFC/RFID tag includes a memory. A primary tagging device reads and writes temporary information into the tag's memory over a first communication channel. A scanner is in communication with a secondary tagging device to read and write the temporary information saved in the tag's memory over a second communication channel.

Abstract: A method for licensing a system for obtaining an X-ray image of a subject. The system employs flexible information carrier plates for computed radiography, which are exposed to X-rays and then scanned in a scanner. A license media is provided with a RFID transponder, which stores in its memory identification information referring to the system components as well as information referring to an amount of valid licenses available for use of the system components. When the identification information stored in the memory of the license media RFID transponder matches the identification information transmitted to the scanner by a processing and acquisition station the carrier plates are scanned automatically.

Abstract: A method and system for the remote controlling of appliances includes an adaptive remote controller that adapts itself automatically to its environment so as to remotely control a plurality of appliances. The adaptive remote controller is RF based and has the capability of two way communication with appliances. The adaptive remote controller provides information, alerts and help to a user.

Abstract: A Packet Processor for a communication apparatus, for processing received and transmitted data streams made of packets. Each packet includes a header and a payload section, which includes a receiving part, a transmitting part, a Backbone Bus for conveying management data, instructions and addresses between various components of the Packet Processor, and a timing and control unit for administering the operation of the Packet Processor, and for timing of using transmission slots for the transmit path. The receiving part includes a receiving PHY interface by which a flow of data stream is conveyed from a Modulator-Demodulator section of the modem to the Packet Processor. The receiving part further includes a receiving Tubular Bus which received the flow of data stream, conveyed from the modem to the Packet Processor, the receiving Tubular Bus conveys data, while processed, the direction from the receiving PHY interface to a host interface.

Abstract: A Packet Processor for a communication apparatus, for processing received and transmitted data streams made of packets, each packet mainly comprises a header and a payload section, comprising: (A) A receiving part comprising: A receiving PHY interface by which a flow of data stream is conveyed from a Modulator-Demodulator section of a modem to the Packet Processor; A receiving Tubular Bus receiving the said flow of data stream which is conveyed from the Modulator-Demodulator section of the modem to the Packet Processor, said receiving Tubular Bus conveying data, while processed, in the direction from the said receiving PHY interface to a host interface; At least one processing unit between sections of the said first Tubular Bus for sequentially receiving portions of a data stream from a section of the Tubular Bus, processing the same, and outputting the processed data to a next section of the said first Tubular Bus; One FIFO storage unit before and one FIFO storage unit after any of the said processing units
