Abstract: An area-reading antenna (in RF linkage with myriad RF tags) is dynamically tuned. It may be dynamically tuned as to its transmission of a power/clock field, or dynamically tuned as to its transmission of a data signal, or dynamically tuned as to its reception of a data signal, or some combination of all three. In this way, a base station has an improved ability to communicate with a greater fraction of the RF tags within its reading area, despite detuning of individual tags due to proximity of detuning influences such as metal or liquids.

Abstract translation: 动态地调整区域读取天线（与无数RF标签的RF联动）。 可以动态调整其功率/时钟域的传输，或者动态地调整其数据信号的传输，或者动态地调整其数据信号的接收，或三者的某种组合。 以这种方式，尽管由于诸如金属或液体的失谐影响的接近，基站在其读取区域内具有与更大部分的RF标签通信的改进能力。

Abstract: A metal surgical implant has a first antenna wrapped around an elongated portion, the first antenna electrically coupled with circuitry, all tuned to a frequency below 450 kilohertz. The assembly is substantially sterile. A second antenna may also be wrapped around the elongated portion, also electrically coupled with the circuitry. The implant may be a hip implant.

Abstract: An alternative for smart card financial transactions is provided in which the smart card functionality is provided as part of a watch containing a RuBee antenna and transceiver for transmitting the authorization information to a receiver separate from the watch. This form factor allows the user to maintain the card in a readily usable and convenient location. In addition, the watch can be used to allow the user to specifically authorize or override a financial transaction, and to view and/or store information about the financial transaction, as well as conventional functionality such as alarms, and calendars. The watch of the invention can also provide access control or identification in corporate environments if desired.

Abstract: A system uses a large loop antenna, connected with a transceiver operating below 1 MHz. The loop antenna is deployed from a spool to surround a crime scene, and may carry indicia communicating that it is a crime scene boundary. The system interrogates devices, including evidence bags and badged personnel, as they enter and leave the scene. The system can optionally log the time of salient events. A second loop antenna can log evidence bags as they enter a vehicle. The devices can be silenced by the transceiver and thus collisions can be reduced and avoided among responses from devices. The system performs "area reads" that would not be possible if higher RF frequencies were employed.

一个系统使用一个大的环形天线，与工作在1 MHz以下的收发器连接。 环形天线从线轴上展开以围绕犯罪现场，并且可以携带表示它是犯罪现场边界的标记。 系统在进入和离开现场时询问设备，包括证据袋和标记人员。 系统可以选择记录显着事件的时间。 第二个环形天线可以在他们进入车辆时记录证据袋。 这些设备可以通过收发器进行静音，从而可以减少设备之间的冲突并避免冲突。 该系统执行“区域读取” 如果使用更高的RF频率，那将是不可能的。

Abstract: An RFID tag in a receptacle is active and includes a microprocessor, a data storage device operable to store a selected code (e.g. an ID code to identify said object or said product), the object including a display for displaying the aforesaid selected code upon a signal from the microprocessor and an energy storage device (e.g. a lithium ion battery), operable to energize the microprocessor, the display, and the transmitter. The tag has an antenna having a dimension thereof that is substantially as large as to a maximum dimension of receptacle.

Abstract: A method for facilitating transactions, conducted over networked computer systems, between customers and merchants, using an intermediary to complete the transactions. The customer establishes an account with the intermediary, and the intermediary subsequently issues customer user information to the customer. The customer may then access the intermediary's website, possessing a plurality of links to merchants' websites. After the customer has selected the items he wishes to purchase, he signals the intermediary instead of using the merchant's checkout system. Alternatively, if the merchant does not have a link on the intermediary's website, the customer can signal the intermediary to complete the transaction by e-mailing the URL to the intermediary. The transaction is completed by the intermediary by logging on to the merchant's website and completing the checkout process for the customer's order, giving the intermediary's credit card number and delivery address.

Abstract translation: 一种通过联网计算机系统，在客户和商家之间进行交易的方法，使用中介来完成交易。 客户与中间人建立账户，中间人随后向客户发出客户用户信息。 客户然后可以访问中介网站，拥有多个到商户网站的链接。 在客户选择他想要购买的商品之后，他向中介人发信号，而不是使用商家的结帐系统。 或者，如果商家在中介网站上没有链接，则客户可以通过电子邮件将该URL发送给中间人来发信号通知中间人来完成该交易。 交易由中介人通过登录商家网站完成，并完成客户订单的结帐流程，给予中介人的信用卡号和送货地址。
