Abstract: Technologies are generally described for distance determination between two or more RFID tags based on a minimum detectable signal. In some examples, a first RFID tag may establish communication with a second RFID tag, and modulate an irradiating electromagnetic field to generate backscatter signals for sequential transmission to the second RFID tag. A depth of amplitude modulation of each transmitted signal may be progressively reduced until the second RFID tag can no longer detect the modulation. The particular distance between the first and second RFID tags may then be determined based on a minimum detectable signal by the second RFID tag, which may be identified as a last transmitted signal detected by the second RFID tag. In some embodiments, distance determination between two or more RFID tags as described above may be implemented for robotic sensing, assembly systems, security, and wearable technology to track motion and/or position of objects.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described related to a dual channel memory device, system and method of manufacture. Various described devices include utilization of both a front channel and a back channel through a substrate formed underneath a dual gate structure of a semiconductor device. Using two pairs of contacts on opposing sides of the gate structure, where the contact pairs are formed on differently doped layers of the semiconductor device, multiple bits may be stored in the semiconductor device acting as a single memory cell. Memorization may be realized by storing different amount or types of charges on the floating gate, where the charges may impact a conduction status of the channels of the device. By detecting the conduction status of the channels, such as open circuit, close circuit, or high resistance, low resistance, data stored on the device (“0” or “1”) may be detected.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described to adaptively sample merchant sites linked to payment transactions to gain insight into activities, interactions, and behaviors of visitors within the merchant site. In some examples, a payment network may define a virtual perimeter that represents an area of the merchant site in which to capture selected measurements. The virtual perimeter and measurements may be transmitted to a client application being executed or executing on a portable device associated with a visitor. The client application may capture the measurements and transmit the captured measurements as tracking data to the payment network upon detection of a presence of the portable device within the virtual perimeter. Payment data processed by the client application may also be transmitted to the payment network. The payment network may process the payment and tracking data to perform a business intelligence analysis associated with the merchant site.

Example devices/systems described herein may use a plurality of light guides arranged in an array, and light emissive elements provided along a longitudinal direction of the light guides. A light emission intensity of each of the light emissive elements may be controlled based on an input signal indicative of the object, to generate a three-dimensional image of the object. The three-dimensional image may have a perceived depth in the longitudinal direction determined by light emission intensity ratios between the light emissive elements. The light guides may include at least one of optical fibers, glass rods, glass tubes, transparent-walled channels and elongated voids in a matrix material. Also, the light emissive elements may include at least one of light emitting diodes (LEDs), plasma light emitters, luminescent elements, and light emissive pixels of a flat panel display.

The virtual device may also be adapted to receive a low-power device service request from a requesting device operating in a third computer network and may determine that the device descriptor indicates that the low-power device is unavailable to respond to the low-power device service request. A response to the low-power device service request may be generated by the virtual device based on the device data reports.
