20090121843 | METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR LOCALIZING OBJECTS USING PASSIVE RFID TAGs - Method and system for localizing an object in a stack of objects. A passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is attached to each object. Each RFID tag includes a unique identifier of the object to which the RFID tag is attached. A RFID reader has multiple antennas. Each antenna is positioned to transmit a signal that can be detected by different RFID tags attached to the objects within a reading range of the transmitted signal from each antenna. The antennas are sequentially selected and powered to transmit to the stack a read signal including object's identifier for the object to be localized. If a response to the read signal is received by a selected and powered antenna from a RFID tag that matched the object's identifier with its unique identifier, then a light emitting diode (LED) is lighted to identify a location of the object being localized. | 05-14-2009 |

20120059936 | MASTERLESS SLOT ALLOCATION - A masterless time slot allocation technique that collaboratively synchronizes, at a time slot level, devices communicating in an ad hoc network. Responsive to determining a current time slot allocated to a first device is occurring, the first device transmits a map to the other devices. The map includes an allocation of time slots to the devices, including indicators for whether each time slot is free, busy or overbooked, devices that own the time slots, and how recently information associated with each time slot was updated. After receiving the map, a second device determines a conflict in which the same time slot is allocated to the second device and to another device. The conflict is resolved by allocating another time slot to the second device and the result of resolving the conflict is each slot is allocated to no more than one device. | 03-08-2012 |
