    摘要: A mobile inventory transportation unit (MITU) in a communication network is disclosed. The communication network may comprise the MITU, a transportation system, a first and a second central system, in communication with each other, the MITU comprising a housing, an inventory storage device, a power device, a drive device, a navigation device, a sensing device, and a control device. The MITU may be configured to receive inventory demands and handle them based on analyzing its own inventory, the transportation system may be configured to physically receive and transport the MITU, the second central system may be configured to determine an inventory demand at a second or more location and transmit the same to the first central system or the MITU, and the first central system or the MITU may be configured to schedule the movement of the MITU and control the delivery of the MITU to a final destination.

    摘要: A wireless tag reading system including a frame, two or more antennas installed to the frame, and a turntable rotatable with respect to the frame. The turntable is adapted to support thereon an object containing one or more electronic tags. The turntable is adapted to rotate the object with respect to the two or more antennas, so that at least one of the two or more antennas is configured to read the one or more electronic tags at more than one distance, orientation, or phase. By rotating the object to vary the distance and/or orientation from the tags to the antennas, all the tags on the object can be scanned and correctly read by the wireless tag reader.
