Abstract: An apparatus for use in an RFID data collection system includes an antenna portion for wirelessly exchanging signals and a memory portion for storing RFID data. A signal processing portion is coupled among the antenna portion and the memory portion. The signal processing portion is configured to receive RFID data and to at least encode or decode the received RFID data via space-time block codes (STBC). For example, an RFID tag employs two spatially separated antennas and circuitry for transmitting to an RFID reader data stored in tag memory as STBC encoded data. Other configurations are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system, and article facilitate the configuration, supervision, and interaction with a non-storage special-purpose device, such as a barcode printer, using standard file operations on a logical file system. Once the logical file system has been created, logical files and logical directories can be manipulated using standard file manipulation techniques with corresponding functionality, such as updating firmware or installing fonts, carried out on or by the special-purpose device. Any errors that occur when trying to perform the associated functionality result in standard operating system error messages. In addition, in one embodiment, a remote computer may access the logical file system to perform remote configuration and supervision.

Abstract: A communication system is provided in which a client device can communicate with a server via any one of plural communication networks, such as a WWAN, a WLAN, a wired LAN, a personal area network, and any other networking architecture. More specifically, the communication client comprises a connection manager that is adapted to determine availability of each of the plural communication networks to communicate data between the client and the server, select one of the communication networks from the available ones of the plural communication networks in accordance with predetermined preferences, and establish a connection with the selected one of the communication networks. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the communication system further includes an intelligent queuing system, comprising a client-side queue on the communication client and a server-side queue on the server. The connection manager is further adapted to determine cost associated with communicating the data on available ones of the plural communication networks and provide that information to the client-side queue. The client-side queue determines whether to communicate the data via the selected one of the communication networks based in part on the determined cost.

Abstract: A communication system is provided in which a client device can communicate with a server via any one of plural communication networks, such as a WWAN, a WLAN, a wired LAN, a personal area network (e.g., Bluetooth), and any other networking architecture. More specifically, the communication client comprises a connection manager that is adapted to determine availability of each of the plural communication networks to communicate data between the client and the server, select one of the communication networks from the available ones of the plural communication networks in accordance with predetermined preferences, and establish a connection with the selected one of the communication networks. The client may further comprise a client application. The connection manager provides a notification message to the client application upon establishment of the communication link. The client application then communicates data to and from the server via the selected one of the communication networks. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the communication system further includes an intelligent queuing system, comprising a client-side queue on the communication client and a server-side queue on the server. The connection manager is further adapted to determine cost associated with communicating the data on available ones of the plural communication networks and provide that information to the client-side queue. The client-side queue determines whether to communicate the data via the selected one of the communication networks based in part on the determined cost.

Abstract: A device such as a printer, includes non-volatile memory storing a communications kernel. Upon startup, a microprocessor executes the communication kernel to prompt a host to download a setup kernel to the device. The microprocessor may verify the downloading using a checksum calculation. The microprocessor may execute the setup kernel to determine the operational characteristics on the device. For example, the microprocessor may interrogate the hardware elements of the device to determine a set of hardware characteristics. The microprocessor may also interrogate the device to determine a set of user selectable setup options and may further interrogate the device or a nonresident register for ownership and access attributes for selected modules and software. The microprocessor may link a number of resident and non-resident library modules, selected based on the operational characteristics. The library modules are dynamically linkable to reconfigure the software as operational characteristics change. The invention employs a dual kernel system, including a minimal communications kernel and a setup kernel to customize the device.

Abstract: An RF base station system includes an RF signal generator coupled to an RF emitter (106, 122), such as an antenna and an RF-reflective surface or field shaper (108) arranged to reflect RF signals emanating from the RF emitter to increase the effective tag reading volume of the base station system. In an illustrative embodiment, a plurality of reflective surfaces may be arranged to form the walls of a tunnel-like enclosure (108) to confine RF energy from the RF emitter (106, 122) to a tag-reading volume within the enclosure. In addition to confining the RF energy, the geometry of the reflective surfaces, the carrier frequency of the RF signal, and placement of the RF emitter (106, 122) may be chosen so that the probability is increased that the RF field strength within the enclosure (108), or a portion thereof, meets an RF tag's reading threshold requirement. In particular, the enclosure geometry, the carrier frequency of the RF signal, and placement of the RF emitter (106, 122) may be chosen so that multiple RF propagation modes are established within the cavity formed by the enclosure.

An example vehicle mounted RFID system is configured to operate an RFID system in a high-power mode. The example vehicle mounted RFID system is further configured to determine that an operating state of a vehicle switched from an active charging state to an inactive state. The example vehicle mounted RFID system is further configured to, in response to determine that the operating state of the vehicle switched from the active charging state to the inactive state, initialize a timer for a period of time. The example vehicle mounted RFID system is further configured to, in response to an elapse of the period of time, switch the RFID system to a low-power mode.
