Abstract: The subject matter relates to methods for communicating with an RFID tag that is positioned out of the line-of-sight of a communications device. A passive reflector is provided corresponding to an antenna resonant at the operating frequency of the tag. The antemia may be supported by an insulative or conductive wand for manual placement within the line-of-sight of both the tag and a communications device wishing to communicate with the tag. The passive reflector receives signals from either or both the tag and communications device and retransmits the signals. In this manner signals are able to "turn a comer" to improve communications capabilities.

Abstract: A piezoelectric triggering mechanism (10) includes a piezoelectric element (12), such as the transducer of a SAW device, that is configured to crack or break upon being subjected to excessive levels of mechanical force or other triggering mechanisms, thus generating a burst of electromagnetic energy. The large impulse of energy can then be conditioned (14) through resonant circuits or antennas and modulated (16) with an identification pattern through appropriate structures (such as SAW electrodes) to send a breakage indication signal to a remote receiver (18). Piezoelectric elements (12) may be integrated with a pneumatic tire structure to provide indication upon pressure loss or tire failure. Piezoelectric elements (12) may also be integrated with safety support features of some tire structures to provide indication of tire operation in a run-flat mode of operation. Related aspects of the present piezoelectric triggering technology employ a piezoelectric element (12) in a trigger detection method, which may involve detection of such occurrences as breach of security via opening of a sealed access structure or breakage of a glass panel, deployment of an airbag, loss of pressure or excess deflection in a tire, presence of smoke in a given location, and other rupture and sensor applications.
