    摘要: A system for tracking RFID tags with a reader device having a plurality of antennas. The antennas are positioned such that portions of at least two of the plurality of antennas physically overlap each other and are in approximately the same plane. A pair of overlapping antennas are also positioned so that an RFID tag is positioned within both signal fields of the pair of overlapping antennas. In addition, the reader device is configured to selectively activate the plurality of overlapping antennas to thereby selectively interrogate one or more of the RFID tags, and the reader device is configured to use the selective interrogation of the one or more RFID tags to track the locations of the RFID tags.

    摘要: A reader device for locating and tracking multiple tags includes a plurality of closely packed antenna circuits and at least one controller configured to control the plurality of closely packed antenna circuits. The at least one controller is configured to activate one or more of the antenna circuits to generate at least one resonance signal field configured to interrogate at least one tag associated with the one or more active antenna circuits while substantially preventing or reducing cross-coupling of signals between the one or more active antenna circuits and at least one antenna circuit within the at least one resonance signal field to a sufficiently low level, wherein the sufficiently low level substantially prevents misreads from unwanted tags, to thereby track the multiple tags in a substantially controlled manner.

    摘要: In a method for reading a tag, the tag is interrogated with a reader device having an antenna. A waveform of the signal received from the tag in response to the interrogation is analyzed through application of a numerical analysis technique. The signal is analyzed to estimate a bit pattern in the waveform.

    摘要: A method and system of tracking devices uses imaging and optionally tags. Tracking is performed when the identification information associated with the devices are initially received and exposed towards a scanning bar in an enclosure. This scanning bar scans at one or more predetermined intervals the one or more devices in the enclosure of hardware. The system for tracking devices includes an enclosure capable of receiving one or more devices positioned to expose identification information related to each device and a scanning bar movably coupled to the enclosure that passes over each of the one or more devices and captures images of the identification information exposed by each of the one or more devices.
