Title: Reshaping interrogation range
Inventor: HUMBERTO MORAN
IPC: H04K3/00
Filed: 2017-11-30
Abstract: A system comprises an interrogator 1, transponder tags 61-3, and a jammer 7, where an interrogator signal 41 is modified by a jamming signal 47 in the intersection between the interrogator range 5 and the jamming range 8. Within the jamming range tags cannot understand, read, or reply to the distorted interrogator signals. The tags may be RFID tags, and the interrogator may be an RFID reader. The frequency of the jamming signal may be changed to distort the encoded data of a command package or the encoded preamble or postamble of a command package of the interrogator signal, where the frequency of the jamming signal may be changed to transform low or high encoding pulses into high or low encoding pulses or suppress the high or low encoding pulses from the interrogator signal. The invention enables detection of products once they are removed from a shelf or display in a shop. The interrogator signals are jammed while the tag is in the display zone and once the item is removed from the display (and the jamming region) the tag is able to respond to interrogator signals.

IPC: H02J4/00
Filed: 2018-04-13
Abstract: A power distribution system 130 defines a power demand threshold. A controller module 160 receives a set of power demands from a respective set of solid state switching elements 134, 136, 138. The controller module compares the set of power demands with the power demand threshold and determines a set of energy budgets for the set of solid state switches accordingly. The set of solid state switches limit the maximum quantity of energy delivered in according with the respective energy budget. The power demand threshold may be defined by the operational limits of a power converter 32. The received set of power demands may include status report data from the respective set of solid state switching elements which may be compared with a set of predictive failure conditions. At least one of an over-temperature condition or an excessive current condition may be determined based on the comparison of the status report data with the set of predictive failure conditions, and the energy budget of the respective solid state switching element altered accordingly.
