Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110263182Beehive enclosure with moisture elimination - An enclosure cover for collecting and disposing of unwanted moisture within honeybee hives during periods of temperature and humidity conditions that promote alternate freezing and thawing. An internal cover surface collects and condenses moisture produced by the bees' metabolism which otherwise may be deposited on the internal surface of the cover as frost and later thaw, causing droplets of cold water to fall on the clustered bees. The enclosure cover is arranged to direct and channel collected water from the condensation surface and discharge the same outside of the hive.10-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100277285Systems and methods for communication with RFID tags - Communication between a multi-band RFID tag device that communicates on first and second bands with other devices may be enabled, using a bidirectional communication bridging device that converts first band signals of the RFID tag device to third band signals of another device, and vice-versa. Examples of third band-capable devices that may be bridged for communication with the first band of a RFID tag device include WiFi devices such as smart phone, notebook computer, WLAN router or any other type of WiFi enabled device. In one example, a tag interface control device may be provided in the form of a WiFi-enabled handheld unit that communicates with a multi-band RFID tag through a bridging device using NBFM radio frequency (RF) communications to retrieve or change stored data and/or change the tag operation. Such a WiFi-enabled handheld unit may be configured to be relatively small, portable, and/or battery or wireless-powered.11-04-2010
