| 20100060423 | Radio frequency identification (RFID) reader with multiple receive channels - A radio-frequency identification (RFID) system includes an RFID tag, an RFID reader, and a controller. The RFID reader employs a plurality of phase-offset or phase-diverse channels to improve detection of data transmitted from the RFID tag to the RFID reader. A controller selects the channel that provides the best signal-to-noise ratio and decodes the data provided by the RFID tag using the selected channel. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20090112979 | EXTENSIBLE METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS ON KNOWN AND UNKNOWN TARGETS - This invention provides an extensible method for performing management operations on known and unknown targets. The extensible method is implemented on a fully extensible system where management software and triggers that cause these management operations to be run are easily extended in the field. The triggers may include information indicating a change in inventory, product state, or an event, and may originate directly from a product or from an information store containing information about installed products. The management software facilitates mining this information, parsing the information through a manifest of the triggers, and selecting functions to determine if a management operation should be executed, and if so, which management operation. Generally, the management software executes the selected management operation. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20080298875 | MODULAR WORKBOARD THERMAL PRINTER SYSTEM - A modular workboard thermal printer system provides a user with portable computing and printing capabilities. According to one aspect, the modular workboard thermal printer system includes a housing to which a thermal printer module may be operatively coupled, and a receiving portion formed with the housing for accepting therein a portable computing device that interfaces with the thermal printer module. Further, the modular workboard thermal printer system possesses an input/output panel for electrically connecting external devices with the thermal printer module and/or the portable computing device, as well as a power supply for delivering electrical power to the thermal printer module and optionally to other devices connected with the housing. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080237021 | KEYPAD OVERLAY MEMBRANE - A keypad overlay membrane provides guidance to a user in selecting an intended key to strike and avoiding striking unintended keys. In one arrangement the overlay membrane is formed by a continuous thin-walled sheet having an outwardly-facing surface and an opposed inwardly-facing surface. Formed into the thin-walled sheet are a first array of raised members and a second array of channels. The raised member array is laid out in a configuration for positioning atop individual keys of the electronic device keypad, with the channel array located between the raised member array. Upon placing the overlay membrane onto keypad, the user can apply a sufficient inwardly directed force to one of the raised members to induce movement of the respective key underlying and aligned with the particular raised member. In another arrangement, an array of concave depressions substitutes for the raised member array and channel array. | 10-02-2008 |
