Abstract: An object locator system (100) generates an audio signal as if emanating from the object (118) as a user (102) varies angular orientation and distance from an object (118) or site to be located within an area. A computer (106) linked to an access transceiver (110,112) receives transmissions from a user (102) wearing a headset (104) including a transceiver (202) and electronic compass (122). The compass (122) provides a signal indicative of the user orientation. An access transceiver (110,112) receives the signal and calculates the location of the user (102) based on the time difference of arrival of the RF signal and triangulation of the user movement. An accelerometer (204) in the headset (104) continuously tracks user movement. The location of the object (118) in a vertical direction is provided by a directory or other reference source stored in the computer (106). Based on the angular orientation, horizontal and vertical distance of the object (118) or site relative to the user (102), the computer (106) maps the location information into sounds in the form of pulse amplitude or frequency modulated sound. The audio signal is perceived by the user (102) as emanating from the object (118) or site.

Abstract: Described is an arrangement including a receiver (605) and an enveloped detection arrangement (540) . The receiver receives radio frequency signals generated according to a predetermined wireless communication protocol . The envelope detection arrangement screens the radio frequency signals for a predetermined signal which utilizes the predetermined wireless communication protocol and has a predetermined envelope sequence. Upon detection of the predetermined signal, the arrangement transmits a further signal to a computing device (600) coupled thereto. The further signal is an instruction for the computing device to wake up.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to facilitate communication with a plurality of remote units in a communication area that includes a plurality of spatial sectors. The system includes a network controller configured to receive and transmit under IEEE 802.11 specifications, and a plurality of directional antennas coupled to the network base station. Each of directional antennas functions as an access point for a respective spatial sector. The directional antennas and the network controller are combined as a single base station apparatus in an exemplary embodiment. Further, an exemplary network controller is configured to concurrently transmit a plurality of the data frames to more than one of the spatial sectors, and to synchronize the transmissions in a manner whereby all of the concurrently transmitted frames end simultaneously.

Abstract: A hierarchical system of tag associations reduces latency and bandwidth consumption in an RFID or other environment. A method of electronically tracking a items (such as retail goods) stored in a container includes the broad steps of obtaining the electronic identifier for each of the items, computing a checksum or alternative high entropy data structure as a function of each of the electronic identifiers, and transmitting the checksum or data structure to the container for storage at the container. The stored data structure can be compared against a subsequently-calculated checksum to identify any changes to the items stored in the container.

Abstract: An electro-optical reader or scanner reads/scans bar code symbols (13) associated with selected optical scan module (1) during set operation mode. A transceiver identifies the reader and selected peripheral devices to be connected with network using read symbols based on which notification for establishing logical relationship is output to system manager. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) Peripheral logical relationship establishing method; (b) Unwanted environmental noise preventing arrangement; (c) Indicia electro-optically reading system

Abstract: Described is a system and method for detection using an ultrasonic wave. The system may include a first arrangement and a second arrangement. The first arrangement may include a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter transmits an ultrasonic wave along a surface on which items are to be stored and the receiver receives the wave after it has passed over the surface. The second arrangement receives from the first arrangement data corresponding to properties of the received wave. The second arrangement compares the properties of the received wave to properties of the transmitted wave to generate current condition value. The second arrangement determines based on the current condition value and calibration data a current condition state corresponding to a degree of the surface currently occupied by the items. The calibration data includes at least one calibration value and a corresponding calibration condition state.
