    摘要: An interrogator-responder communication system in which responders are carried by vehicles (such as railroad vehicles) travelling along a route and in which an interrogating station situated along the route operates each passing responder to recall data from a memory in the passing responder. In one embodiment, the responder is equipped to receive data transmitted from a transmit station and to store the received data, for later recall, in a non-volatile, electrically erasable read/write memory.

    摘要: A reader interrogates an object. The object has a tag with a data source such as a read-only memory (ROM) which produces an identifying sequence of binary 1's and 0's in an individual pattern and transmits these signals to the reader. Each "1" or "0" is converted to a plurality of signal cycles at first and second harmonic frequencies. For example, a "1" may be identified by two signal cycles at the second frequency (e.g. 40 kHz) and then one signal cycle at the first frequency (e.g. 20 kHz) and a "0" may be identified by a signal cycle at the first frequency and then two signal cycles at the second frequency. The transponder also produces a plurality of signal cycles in an individual code (different from any combination of "1's" and "0's") to indicate the end of the transmission of the signal cycles identifying the object and the start of another transmission. The reader receives the signal cycles identifying the object and delays these signal cycles by (a) a first time such as 1/4 period of a cycle at the second frequency, (b) a second time such as 1/2 of such period and (c) a third time corresponding to such period. The reader compares the received signals and the first delayed signals to produce first phase-locked signals. The reader compares the received signals and the second delayed signals to produce additional phase-locked signals at the times that the first phase-locked signals are not produced. The reader then produces clock signals from the first and additional phase-locked signals. The reader produces information signals from a comparison of the received signals and the third delayed signals. The reader synchronizes the information signals with the lock signals to identify the object.

    摘要: An automatic vehicle identification system for use in identifying and routing vehicles, such as railway cars or other vehicles which routinely travel a given track or path. A passive electronic device or electrical circuit is employed to intersect an energy field and respond thereto by generating a code in accordance with energy received and converted to coded electrical signals. Connected to the passive device is a short wave transmitter for transmitting signals generated by the electrical device when so energized. The electrical device may also comprise a plurality of different induction coils or antenna which serve to modify an energy field in a given manner, which modification may be detected by short wave sensing and converted to a coded electrical signal which is employed to identify the vehicle. In another form, a coded array of antenna or induction coils is provided which modify energy fields generated at check points or scanning locations along a trackway or roadway, wherein such energy field modifications are sensed at each such scanning location, resulting in the generation of an electrical code at each location and identification of the vehicle.

    摘要: An apparatus for remote temperature reading particularly for the reading of the temperature of an article or animal at a distance by means of an electromagnetically interrogatable label attached to or implanted in the article or animal the label being constructed to be capable of receiving an electromagnetic signal from a transmitter, converting the signal to a surface acoustic wave, passing the wave over a path on the label, reconverting the surface acoustic wave to an electromagnetic signal and retransmitting it to a receiver. The path of the surface acoustic wave is of a material such that the time of travel of the surface acoustic wave over the path is a function of the temperature of the path and thus of the label. The receiver is constructed to measure the time interval between electromagnetic signals produced by the passage of the surface acoustic wave past a transducer or transducers in the path and thereby provide an output indicative of the temperature of the environment of the label. It is preferred that the label includes a plurality of transducers at coded locations along the path arranged for retransmitting to the receiver a coded sequence of electromagnetic signals indicative of an article or animal to which the label is affixed or in which it is implanted in the manner described in U.S. Pat.

    摘要: A system for tracking a rail yard inventory may be incorporated in a rail yard that has a plurality of tracks on which a plurality of railcars in a train are moved and arranged wherein each track is associated with a destination of the railcars on the track. A controller, responsive to signals from sensors, counts the number of railcars that enter and exit a track to determine if railcars have been added or removed from the train. The controller updates the railcar sequence in the train and a database having data relative to the location of each railcar in the rail yard and sequence in which railcars are linked on a track.
