| 20080218346 | IDENTIFIER DEVICE AND METHOD OF IDENTIFYING - An identifier device, which may be part of a tracking or similar transponder device, which can be removably coupled to an article to be identified or tracked. Data representing the identity of the article is encoded in the form of a pattern, and can be read by the identifier device when correctly engaged to the article, by sampling the pattern so as to extract the data encoded therein for transmission. The pattern may be a relief pattern, for example in the form of bumps and pits such as a Braille pattern, or magnetic domains, or the like. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080281618 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE TRACKING OF ARTICLES - Detecting whether an article has been loaded or unloaded for example from a ship by tracking the movements of a transducer such as an RFID tag attached to the article in space, and comparing the tracked movements with a trajectory envelope characterizing the movements associated with a load or unload action, and in the case where the movements of the article are found to comply with the trajectory envelope, registering the article as present in the predetermined volume. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20100007500 | DETECTOR SYSTEM FOR DETECTING CARGO ITEMS FALLING DURING TRANSPORT AND METHOD FOR RETRIEVAL THEREOF - A detector arrangement including an antenna for detecting an object or objects equipped with RFID tags and which has or have fallen from a transport arrangement during conveyance thereon from a first location to a second location. Also provided is a method of detecting and retrieving an object or objects that has or have fallen from a transport arrangement while in transit from a first location towards a second location. A Global Positioning System (GPS) may be provided to assist in retrieving the lost object or objects. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100123580 | TAMPER DETECTION, MEMORIZATION, AND INDICATION FOR PACKAGING - The present invention is directed to tamper detection, memorization, and indication for packaging. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: detecting when the package is opened and closed; and generating an alarm if the package is opened more than once after it is initially closed to indicate that the package has been tampered with. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100149028 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING POWER CONSUMPTION OF CONTAINER TRACKING DEVICES THROUGH MESH NETWORKS - A system of tracking transcontinental shipping containers, which is optimized to conserve the power consumption of tracking devices attached to the containers, is disclosed. The system uses short-range transceiving devices to form a mesh network that includes the tracking devices and a processing device coupled to the shipping vessel, thereby enabling the tracking devices to communicate and update their status without using a long-range or satellite communications adaptors. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100153108 | METHOD FOR DYNAMIC LEARNING OF INDIVIDUAL VOICE PATTERNS - The present invention is a system and method for generating a personal voice font including, monitoring voice segments automatically from phone conversations of a user by a voice learning processor to generate a personalized voice font and delivering the personalized voice font (PVF) to the a server. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100153116 | METHOD FOR STORING AND RETRIEVING VOICE FONTS - The present invention is a system for storing text-to-speech files which includes a means for storing a plurality of voice fonts wherein each voice font has associated therewith a universal voice identifier (UVI). The invention includes delivering a voice font to a receiver of a message containing text wherein the message contains the UVI and the receiver requests the voice font associated with the UVI from the means for storing. | 06-17-2010 |
