Abstract:
A content applicator receives a continuous medium and applies content to segments of the continuous medium. The content applicator includes a sensor array, a controller subsystem, and a print station. The sensor array scans the continuous medium as the continuous medium moves along a medium transport pathway. The controller subsystem receives scan information from the sensor array and uses the scan information to establish and maintain registration between the continuous medium and the print station.
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:
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 at least two orthogonal modulation signals. Other configurations are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A carrier structure has a plurality of cells. A corresponding plurality of objects having data carriers, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, is placed in each cell. Each cell has an indicator associated therewith and is defined by walls that substantially prevent waves (such as RF waves) from propagating between cells. A control module is coupled to the carrier structure and is operative to selectively activate individual ones of the indicators. An automatic data collection device (such as an RFID reader) interrogates the data carriers of the objects placed in the cells, and the data carriers can provide response signals to the data collection device. The control module also monitors the response signals using an antenna present in each cell. If the data collection device selects a particular one of the responsive data carriers, the data collection device provides a notification signal to the control module to notify the control module of the selection. The control module then identifies and selects the cell of an object of interest having the selected data carrier affixed thereon, and initiates activation of the indicator associated with the selected cell, thereby identifying the location of the object of interest.
Abstract:
At least one identification (ID) number is used to effectuate communication between a radio frequency (RF) number and a radio frequency identification (RFID) base station. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, at least a first ID number and a second ID number are stored on an RF transponder. Upon receipt of a write request, the RF transponder compares an ID number portion of the write request with the second ID number stored on the RF transponder. If the numbers matched, then a data portion of the write request is stored on the RF transponder. If the ID numbers do not match, then the write request is ignored. In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, the RF transponder is adapted to determine the second ID number using at least a portion of the first ID number. For example, the second ID number could be a subset of the first ID number, determined using an algorithm that is based (at least in part) on a portion of the first ID number, etc. In accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention, the second ID number is independent of the first ID number. For example, the second ID number could be a constant that is unrelated to the first ID number. In accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention, the data portion of the write request is stored on the RF transponder before the ID number portion of the write request is compared to the ID number stored on the RF transponder. If the ID number portion of the write request matches the ID number stored on the RF transponder, then the stored data is left undisturbed. If, however, the ID numbers do not match, then the stored data is erased (e.g., replaced with a null set, the original data, etc.).
Abstract:
A machine-readable symbol reader includes a microfluidic lens assembly providing responsive, reliable auto-focus functionality. A range finder may provide distance to a planar target (e.g., barcode symbol) information for use in auto-focusing, with or without localization. Illumination system, if included, is selectively controlled based on the distance to target and auto-focusing functionality to substantially reduce power consumption. The localization may color optical sensors. Methods of operating a machine-readable symbol reader, which methods comprises the step of determining a distance between a microfluidic lens assembly and a target and/or the step of acquiring an image through a three color filter.
