Latest Patents
One of Molina's latest patents is titled "Association based locationing for RFID." This invention discloses an apparatus, system, and techniques for determining the location of an RFID tag among a population of tags. The system includes an RFID reader with at least one antenna port and a population of RFID tags, which can be either homogenous or heterogeneous. The RFID reader varies its transmit power through one or more antenna ports, resulting in a grouping of the RFID tags into clusters. In one embodiment, the reader utilizes multiple antennas to further define RFID tag clusters among the population. Each read tag is then uniquely associated with a defined cluster, and tag agents can also be provided among the population of tags to facilitate the definition of the clusters.
Another significant patent is "Token passing protocol for RFID systems." This invention describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for RFID readers forming a reader network. A plurality of RFID readers is configured to interrogate tags and communicate with one another by transferring a token represented by a signal. Possession of the token enables the reader to access an RF communications medium. The readers can be arranged in a ring configuration and interconnected via wired links. A secondary token may circulate in the ring in addition to the primary token to ensure redundancy in the system. A reader waits for a predetermined time interval before accessing the RF communications medium.
