Abstract: Identifying a tool touching a touchscreen device. A touch location of a tool on a touch-sensitive surface is received from a touchscreen controller. Based on the touch location, one of a plurality of electrodes disposed at locations across the touchscreen is selected and an electric circuit is enabled. The electric circuit includes a signal generator attached to the tool that transmits a modulated identification (ID) signal, a parasitic capacitance path between the signal generator and the selected electrode, a demodulator connected to the selected electrode that receives the ID signal, a resistive layer connected to the demodulator, covering the touch-sensitive surface, and a resistive path through the tool to the signal generator. The demodulator demodulates the modulated ID signal to recover a bit sequence. The tool is identified, based on the recovered bit sequence.

Abstract: Disclosed is a secure telephone call management system for authenticating users of a telephone system in an institutional facility. Authentication of the users is accomplished by using a personal identification number, preferably in conjunction with speaker independent voice recognition and speaker dependent voice identification. When a user first enters the system, the user speaks his or her name which is used as a sample voice print. During each subsequent use of the system, the user is required to speak his or her name. Voice identification software is used to verify that the provided speech matches the sample voice print. The secure system includes accounting software to limit access based on funds in a user's account or other related limitations. Management software implements widespread or local changes to the system and can modify or set any number of user account parameters.

Abstract: An inventory system can include radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and RFID tuners that can be brought into interacting proximity with one another to provide input or other information about the location or other condition of movable elements within the inventory system. For example, a closed or at least partially open state of a drawer can be determined based on signals from an RFID tag when the RFID tag and a corresponding RFID tuner are mounted on opposing faces of the drawer and a compartment that receives the drawer.

Abstract: A wearable RFID device may include one or more manually activated RFID tags configured to transmit unique RFID signals in response to a manual activation thereof. Such wearable RFID devices may be worn about any aspect of a user's body, such as a hand, a wrist or an arm of the user, who may contact the manually activated RFID tag and transmit an RFID signal that is consistent with a particular action or instruction associated with a task. The action or the instruction may be executed based on the RFID signal, or upon receiving a confluence or sequence of RFID signals. Additionally, a wearable RFID device may be recognized by one or more discrete systems and configured to operate such systems accordingly.
