Title: System for detecting radio-frequency identification tags
Inventor: LIEFFORT SETH A
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 2004-10-18
Abstract: Techniques for detecting radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are disclosed. For example, an exit control system is described that detects unauthorized removal of articles from a protected facility. A series of antennas are setup to produce interrogation corridors located near the exit of the protected area. RFID tags are attached to the articles to be protected.  Each tag includes information that uniquely identifies the article to which it is affixed and status information as to whether the articles removal from the facility is authorized. The RF reader outputs RF signals through the antennas to create electromagnetic fields within the interrogation corridors. The reader outputs RF power from a single port to the multiple antennas via a splitter/combiner. In this way, a single RF reader with only one transmitter/receiver port simultaneously interrogates multiple antennas. A  variety of techniques are described by which the reader can detect the removal of an unauthorized article.

IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: An ink unit of a printer has a memory circuit (memory element) that includes an antenna for non-contact communication with an antenna of a transmitter/receiver.     The memory circuit has a hold mode M2 in which memory access commands from the transmitter/receiver are not received, and an active made M4 in which memory access is permitted upon receipt of a memory access command. The memory circuit shifts into active mode M4 if the identification (ID) contained in the active mode command matches its own ID when an active mode command containing the cartridge ID is received from the transmitter/receiver while in hold mode M2. A shift to an anti-collision mode M3 to check the ID occurs with the reception of an anti-collision start command from the transmitter/receiver while in hold mode M2.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling a packet network provider to allow a subscriber, e.g., a calling party, to send a key associated their private number to a terminating subscriber, e.g., a called party, is disclosed. The key enables the network to retain the private number information in a call log that the terminating user can unlock and have the network return the call to the originator on their behalf without divulging the original calling party's information. Although the terminating subscriber is presented with a key enabling them to have the network place a call to the private user, the calling party number is never revealed to the terminating subscriber. In one embodiment, the key is in the form of a pseudo phone number generated by the network which can be used to map into the original calling party's phone number within the network.

Inventor: KAMP EWALD A
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2005-04-13
Abstract: The invention generally relates to interlocking closure devices including two closure elements arranged to be interlocked over a predetermined length. The closure elements permit the venting of fluids when the closure elements are in their occluded vented position.

Title: Simulation method and apparatus for determining subsidence in a reservoir
Inventor: STONE TERRY WAYNE
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2005-04-26
Abstract: A reservoir simulator first estimates rock displacement parameters (u, v, and w) representing rock movement in the x, y, and z directions. When the rock displacement parameters (u, v, w) are determined, ~.epsilon. x,y,z~ (the ~x,y,z elongation strains') and ~ .gamma.xy,yz,zx ~ (the ~shear strains~) are determined since ~ .epsilon.x,y,z ~ and ~ .gamma. xy,yz,zx~ are function of ~u~, ~v~, and ~w.~ When ~ .epsilon.x,y,z~ and ~ .gamma.xy,yz,zx~ are determined, ~.sigma.x,y,z~ (the ~elastic normal rock stress in x,y,z directions~) and ~.tau.xy,yz,xz~ (the ~elastic shear stress~) are determined since ~ .sigma. x,y,z~ and ~ .tau. xy,yz,xz~ are a function of ~ .epsilon.  x,y,z~ and ~ .gamma. xy,yz,zx ~. When ~ .sigma. x,y,z ~ and ~.tau.xy yz xz ~  are determined, the rock momentum balance differential equations can be solved, since these equations are a function of ~.sigma. x,y,z~ and ~.tau.  xy,yz,xz ~. When any residuals are substantially equal to zero, the estimated rock displacement parameters (u, v, and w) represent ~accurate rock displacement parameters~ for the reservoir. When the rock momentum balance differential equations are solved, the rock displacement parameters (u, v, w), at an advanced time, are known. These rock displacement parameters (u, v, w) represent and characterize 'subsidence' in a seabed floor because subsidence results from rock movement; and rock movement results from withdrawal of oil or other hydrocarbon deposits or other fluids from an Earth formation.

Title: Engine oil leak test system and method
Inventor: THOMAS HEATHER W
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: A system and method for testing partially assembled engines for possible oil leaks. The system includes engine pressurizing devices that are automatically controlled by a controller according to a predetermined control program based upon the engine model type being tested. The pressurizing devices introduce pressurized air into the engine oil system. A leak testing unit monitors the pressurized engine for pressure drops indicative of an oil seal leak. Air pressure leaks resulting from inherently air-porous EGR valves are compensated for by an EGR compensating unit, which provides pressurized air to an intake side of the EGR valve. The flow of pressurized air through the EGR compensating unit is monitored to determine whether there is a problem with the EGR valve.
