    Abstract: A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag integrated circuit (IC) stores a subportion of a digital signature and a subportion indicator that may be used to authenticate the IC, a tag including the IC, and/or an item associated with the tag. The subportion of the digital signature is generated, at least in part, by applying a cryptographic function to an identifier associated with the IC, the tag, and/or the item.

    Abstract: The present technology may relate to a substantially real-time container monitoring system for monitoring the content of containers such as beverage bottles. The monitoring system may be automated to record the content of the containers according to a metric such as the container's weight. The monitoring system may capture variances in the container's content for reconciliation with data such as sales data to expose irregularities in the consumption of the container's contents and may provide inferences as to the cause of those irregularities. Various embodiments of the monitoring system may comprise a scale assembly for producing scale data, a processor module communicatively linked to the scale assembly, and a front end server application for processing the scale data and presenting it to a user.

    Abstract: A portable container (2) for one or more articles (16) each tagged with a respective Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device (18). The container (2) comprises: a bay (6) having at least one opening (O) for removal and/or placement of RFID-tagged articles (16) into the bay (6); a lid (15) for covering the at least one opening in the bay (6), wherein the lid (15) is openable to permit access to the bay (6); a detector device (21,22) for detecting RFID-tagged articles (16) located in the bay (6); a power supply (30) for supplying electrical power to the detector device (21,22). The container (2) further comprises: an electromagnetic shield (19,19a,19b,19c,19d) wherein the bay (6) and the at least opening in the bay (6) is enclosed by the electromagnetic shield and wherein the lid (15) forms part of the electromagnetic shield.

    Abstract: A method of generating animal identification codes is described. A first and second number are selected, then each number is compared respectively against previously used first and previously used second numbers in a pool. Such comparing uses a computed distance based on how the numbers will be encoded and marked on an animal, such as a Hamming distance of printed symbologies. If the distance computed for either the first or second number is below a distance threshold, that number is discarded and another number is selected. When both numbers pass the distance test, they are added as a pair into the pool. Pairs from the pool may be encoded and marked on an animal. The encoding of the first number may generate a human-readable mark while a different encoding of the second number generates a machine-readable mark.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for a system to manage a home environment. In one instance, an apparatus for managing a home environment may be configured to detect variations in parameters of signals provided by RFID tags disposed in the home environment to monitor the home environment. The apparatus may identify one or more conditions of an area of the home environment in which the RFID tags are disposed, based at least in part on the variations in the one or more parameters and respective locations of the RFID tags in the area of the home environment. The apparatus may select one or more actions, from a plurality of actions associated with the home environment, based at least in part on the identified conditions. The selected actions may be performed to respond to the identified conditions. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A system and method for managing the delivery and tracking of bulk materials is provided. The system may provide for tracking deliveries through multiple parties involved in the process. The system verifies a chain of custody of the bulk materials between an origin vessel, a transportation container, and a delivery vessel. The system notifies a user whether the chain of custody is correct. The system may include web and phone versions allowing the user to scan identification codes associated with specific origin vessels, delivery vessels, and transport containers, and store information relating to those identification codes for later access as a unit of information relating to a load of goods being delivered.
