Title: Methods and systems for locating and identifying labware using radio-frequency indentification tags
IPC: G01V15/00
Filed: 2007-06-12
Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically locating and identifying labware using radio--frequency identification (RFID) tags are described herein. The methods and systems include a plurality of RFID tags (pre-programmed with unique data codes) that are associated with labware (or labware holders). For example, the RFID tags can be embedded within the locating pegs of the labware (or labware holders). The methods and systems also include a plurality of RFID tag readers that mount near known locations of an instrument deck which receives the labware. The RFID tag readers automatically scan for the presence of RFID tags such that when a piece of labware is added to the instrument deck, and then report to a processing device the specific known location on deck where each tag was found, as well as the unique data code of each tag. Using this information, the methods and systems determine one or more of the location, orientation, and identity of the received labware.

Patent CA-2614565-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G JR
IPC: H04Q7/36
Filed: 1998-09-18
Abstract: In the present invention, the slave base station (64) attains synchronization with the reference base station (62) through messages transmitted from and received by a mobile station (60) in the soft handoff region between the reference base station (62) and the slave base station (64). First, the round trip delay between the mobile station (60) and the reference base station (62) is measured by the reference base station (62). Once the mobile station (60) acquires the signal from the slave base station (64), it measures and reports the difference between the amount of time it takes a signal to travel from the reference base station (62) to it and the amount of time it takes a signal to travel from the slave base station (64) to it.  The last measurement necessary is a measurement by the slave base station (64) of the time difference between the time it received the reverse link signal from the mobile (60) and station the time it transmitted a signal to the mobile station. A series of computations described in detail herein are performed upon the measured time values to determine the time difference between the slave base station (64) and an adjustment o f the slave base station (64) timing is performed in accordance therewith.
