摘要:
A vehicle system comprising a vehicle on-board computer (12); an RFID interrogator (20) in communication with the vehicle on-board-computer; and a pressure sensor (30) within the vehicle, the pressure sensor coupled to a RFID transponder (14), the RFID transponder to communicate a respective signal to the RFID interrogator, the respective signal related to a pressure sensor measurement. A method comprising communicating a signal from a RFID transponder to an RFID interrogator, wherein the signal comprises a pressure measurement from the pressure sensor; and communicating the signal to an on-board computer of an automobile.
摘要:
A method of protecting data in a smart card (10) from unauthorized access, the method comprising providing a housing defined by first and second housing portions (12, 13); employing a volatile memory (14) in the smart card for storing the data, and supporting the volatile memory from the first housing portion; providing a power supply (15) in the housing, the power supply maintaining the data in the volatile memory while the power supply is connected to the volatile memory; and connecting the power supply to the volatile memory using a conductor (17) supported by and movable with the second housing portion. A smart card comprising a housing including two opposing major portions that are connected together; an integrated circuit (18) supported in the housing, the integrated circuit including a microprocessor and a random access memory, the random access memory being used to store data; a battery supported in the housing and having first and second terminals, the first terminal being coupled to the integrated circuit; and a conductor coupling the second terminal of the battery to the integrated circuit to complete a circuit, the conductor being supported by the housing such that separation of one of the portions of the housing from the other portion opens the circuit and breaks connection of the battery to the microprocessor so that data held in the random access memory is erased.
摘要:
A system comprising a vehicle on-board computer; and a wireless transponder device coupled to the vehicle on-board computer. The system performs a variety of functions because of its ability to transmit and receive data from other transponders which may be remote from the vehicle or located in the vehicle at a location spaced apart from the system. Remote transponders are spaced apart from the vehicle. The remote transponders can be positioned, for example, at a gas station, toll booth, service center, dealership, parking lot, or along a roadside.
摘要:
A radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogator sends parameters and return link configuration information to an RFID tag. The tag uses the parameters to determine whether or not to respond with a reply signal. The tag uses the return link configuration information to select a modulation type from amongst a plurality of modulation types to modulate the reply signal.

摘要:
A pseudo random number generator comprises a linear feedback shift register switchably operable in a first mode, and in a second mode. In the second mode the shift register consumes more power than in the first mode. The method of generating a pseudo random number comprises: providing a linear feedback shift register; providing an oscillator which generates clock signals used by the linear feedback shift register for shifting; and providing a first power level to the oscillator when a pseudo random number is required, and providing a second power level, lower than the first power level, to the oscillator at other times.
