20090257529 | LOW POWER, INTEGRATED RADIO TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER - A low power (optionally, self-powered) integrated transceiver using on-chip antennas is provided. The transmitter and receiver utilize phase-locked loops (PLLs) which initially, in a closed-loop state, pre-tune (i.e. phase-lock) voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) before opening the loops to allow them to transmit and receive data. The TX, in the opened-loop state, disables the loop components while (FM) modulating the VCO. The RX, in the opened-loop state, injection-locks the VCO with the incoming (FM) modulated signal while the remaining loop components serve to demodulate the signal. For both the TX and RX an integrated antenna can be used and, advantageously, the TX comprises a dual purpose inductor which functions as both an inductor in the voltage-controlled oscillator (i.e. in the resonant tank thereof) and the integrated antenna. | 10-15-2009 |

20080203046 | Overhead lift storage device - Certain exemplary embodiments provide for an overhead lift storage device comprising a longitudinal track for overhead mount and a pulley system for guiding at least one cable-like element therethrough. Each cable-like element has a connection end configured for connection with an article to be stored in a suspended storage position. An activation system is used to operate the pulley system causing the cable-like element to raise or lower a connected article between a lowered connecting position and a suspended storage position. A weight limiting clutch is used to limit the maximum force which can be used to lift a load thereby decreasing the risk of failure of the pulley system or cable-like element. A safety catch may be incorporated into the overhead lift storage device for taking the load off of the pulley system and/or cable-like element when the article is in the suspended storage position. The safety catch interacts directly with the cable-like element or a component thereof to take the load of the suspended article and does not support the article from below. | 08-28-2008 |

20160090237 | PORTABLE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM - A portable containment system has a flexible liner sheet and a plurality of leg assemblies attached to the edge portions of the liner sheet. Each leg assembly consists of two legs connected by a fabric hinge and movable from a collapsed transport position to an upright operating position where the legs slope upward toward each other to form a triangle. The edge portions of the liner sheet are attached to the top of the triangle. The bottom ends of the leg assemblies are connected to a flexible leg sheet such that the leg assemblies are evenly spaced. Moving all the leg assemblies to the operating position supports the edge portions of the liner sheet in a raised position sloping upward from the surface at an angle less than about 75 degrees, such that a containment area is formed inside the sloping edge portions of the liner sheet. | 03-31-2016 |

20100060452 | USING A MESH OF RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TAGS FOR TRACKING ENTITIES AT A SITE - A system for tracking entities at a site comprises a mesh of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Each of the tracked entities, which may move about the site, is associated with and attached to a portable RFID tag. Each RFID tag is at least periodically caused to transmit a signal that includes an identification of the RFID tag. The signal is received by other RFID tags that are within range, which determine a location indicative parameter. Some of the RFID tags receiving the signal are fixed at predefined locations. Specific fixed RFID tags are designated as controller nodes. Data comprising an identification of the RFID tag receiving a signal, the location indicative parameter, and the identification of the portable RFID tag transmitting the signal are communicated to a location engine server, which processes the data to determine at least a relative position of the portable RFID tags on the site. | 03-11-2010 |
