An electronic parcel locker system for shipments delivery and pick-up, comprising at least one electronic parcel locker having compartments for storing shipments, the electronic parcel locker system further comprising a RFID area system comprising a RFID reader and at least one antenna for reading tags affixed onto shipments to be deposited in the compartments of the at least one electronic parcel locker and at least one RFID compartment system integrated in each of the compartments for reading tags affixed onto shipments deposited in the compartments.

Automated autovalidating locker system

A method and structure improves a reading efficiency for RFID tags located in a reading zone of a RFID reading apparatus. A structure is interposed between the RFID tag(s) and the RFID reading apparatus. The structure is essentially electrically non-conductive and comprises a network of RFID antennas. The network of RFID antennas network is positioned on the structure in a pattern whose periodicity in two dimensions is less than half an operating RFID wavelength, so as to create a three dimensional interferometric pattern with peaks of electromagnetic field intensities. The RFID reading apparatus or the at least one RFID tag is set in motion, relatively to one another. The at least one RFID tag is read by the RFID reading apparatus during the relative motion within the reading zone so that the three dimensional interferometric pattern shifts and thereby improves the reading efficiency.

Method and system for improving the reading efficiency of RFID tags

A UHF radiofrequency identification (RFID) device operating at an UHF wavelength for enabling communication of an UHF RFID reader with UHF RFID tags positioned within a cavity having an internal volume with a largest dimension that is below twice said UHF wavelength. The device comprises a wire wave guide having an entry extremity and at least one exit extremity and positioned within said at least one cavity above a ground surface, wherein said entry extremity is fed by said UHF RFID reader and said at least one exit extremity is connected to said ground surface via a load.

UHF RFID device for communicating with UHF RFID tags within a small cavity

A UHF radiofrequency identification (RFID) system comprising a UHF RFID reader and at least one UHF RFID antenna for enabling communication of the UHF RFID reader with UHF RFID tags affixed on articles within a cabinet having electrically conductive walls and at least one door, the UHF RFID antennas being positioned within the cabinet and the UHF RFID system further comprises at least one conductive surface (e.g., a brewer, brasseur, or cross-connector) enclosed in a compartment positioned within the cabinet and comprising a conductive surface set in movement by a motor.

Radiofrequency identification data system operating within a tool cabinet

A planar antenna comprising: a substrate () having opposed first (A) and second (B) flat faces; the first flat face comprising a first ground (), a second ground (), a feed track () there between and an antenna pattern () and the opposed second flat face comprising a third ground (); the third ground being connected to first and second grounds for assuring the continuity of the ground plane with the feeding; and the antenna pattern forms a coil line disposed into the remaining surface of the first flat face and comprises two overlapped loops in such a way that the antenna pattern is substantially auto-complementary.

Planar antenna for RFID reader and RFID PDA incorporating the same

A communication device designed to operate on any type of surface, when affixed onto that surface, comprising: a magnet having a flat face, said magnet generating a magnetic field perpendicular to said flat face and a RFID on metal tag having a mounting base fixedly assembled on said flat face of the magnet.

ROM tag having improved reading capability

An attachment assembly on a cylindrical protuberance of an article comprising a flexible cap configured for fitting an outer shape of the cylindrical protuberance, the flexible cap comprising an central recess part, a RFID tag fixedly mounted in the central recess part, the RFID tag comprising identification data relative to the article, and a magnet having two opposite flat faces, the magnet generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the flat faces being fixedly mounted by one of the two flat faces on the RFID tag and configured to be affixed by the opposite one of the two flat faces onto the cylindrical protuberance.

Attachment assembly having identification capability

A conveyor system for identifying an object () on which an identification tag () is affixed, comprising a conveyor frame () for supporting between its two opposite sides (A,B) a plurality of transverse conveyor rollers () each having a roller shaft (A) and an RFID interrogator exciting a radiant antenna for reading information from the identification tag, the radiant antenna being a first magnetic loop () formed by the conveyor frame and two adjacent roller shafts and excited by an excitation circuit () connected to, but distinct from, said RFID interrogator.
