Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a low stock product display alert system. A system includes a pushing element configured to push one or more products toward a front of a shelf as a unit of the product is removed from the shelf. The system also includes an RFID component, where the RFID component is configured to be in a dormant state when the pushing element is in a first position. The system further includes an activation element configured to activate the RFID component when the pushing element is in a second position, where when activated, the RFID component is configured to emit a signal indicating that the product display is out of product.

Abstract: Data is acquired across a deployed encrypted mesh network, using a digital security controlled, identification badge or tag or sensors, in a dual protocol supporting system. The communications are facilitated to the respective portable device via nodes within the deployed encrypted mesh network, supervised by a hierarchal managing system. A distributed security code is affiliated and triggers an audible or visible signal shared across the network, either as a verification signal or status signal. A counterfeit, non-connected device would not display the correct image, or cue used to validate the identification credentials, etc. and, thereby indicate to immediate personnel that the badge (and the wearer, thereof) is not authorized. Assets can such as cargo containers, pallets, security boxes, etc., with an asset tag are similarly protected. An unauthorized shipment with its counterfeit tag would fail to reflect the appropriate status pursuant to the updated security code to the attending personnel.

Abstract: A system that includes a plurality of RFID tags affixed to medical items, and a plurality of data collection engine devices, client devices and backend devices. The backend devices include trained machine learning models, business logic, and attributes of a plurality of patient events. A plurality of data collection engines and hospital information systems send attributes of new patient events to the backend devices. The backend devices can predict particular outcomes of new events based upon the attributes of the new events utilizing the trained machine learning models. Using business logic and the trained machine learning models, the backend devices can also make recommendations to optimize the patient flow in healthcare provider organizations.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and node-enabled autonomous transport vehicles are described for automating a logistics transaction using a plurality of nodes and a server in a wireless node network. A first node is associated with a shipping courier and downloads shipment information from the server. The shipment information identifies a package for the logistics transaction, a transaction location, and an identification of a second node associated with the package. The first node provides the shipment information to a third node, which is part of an autonomous vehicle. The third node causes the autonomous vehicle to move from a first location to the transaction location, and conducts the logistics transaction related to the package if the third node on the autonomous vehicle completes a node association with the second node associated with the package.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device, including a radio frequency interface configured to receive, from a radio frequency identification device, a first wireless signal of a first carrier frequency that indicates a personal identifier. A transceiver can be configured to generate a transmission signal of second carrier frequency that indicates the personal identifier and location information associated with the device and to transmit electromagnetic waves in response to the transmission signal at a first physical interface of a transmission medium that propagate without requiring an electrical return path. The electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium and are received by a receiving device at a second physical interface of the transmission medium, and the transmission signal can be extracted from the electromagnetic waves by the receiving device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
