A data packet generator transmits data packets using radio frequency signals. The data packets are included, in some embodiments, in a network name. The network name can be detected by a computing device, which receives the data packet. The data packet can then be used for a variety of purposes.

In an embodiment a method for dynamic power control of a power level transmitted by an antenna of a contactless reader is disclosed. The method may include supplying a power to the antenna and performing at least one power adjusting cycle for adjusting a power level during a contactless transaction with a transponder, each power adjusting cycle including modifying the power supplied to the antenna to a predetermined level of power, performing a first measuring of a loading effect on the antenna at the predetermined level of power and adjusting the power level according to the measured loading effect.

The invention relates to a system for monitoring the reproductive activity of animals where a male mounts a female in order to mate, this system can determine the following information each time a male mounts a female, namely: whether or not the male has ejaculated, the date and time of ejaculation, and the identification of the female mounted. The system comprises an electronic sensor device placed on male animals, a radio-frequency identification tag placed on female animals, a system for preventing multiple or erroneous readings, and an electronic hand-held device for collecting information and configuring devices. The invention also includes a communication system and a central system that manages and concentrates all of the information, allowing the user to access said information in an organised, centralized and systematic manner.

A container includes a plurality of panels foldably connected to one another to enclose an interior space. A corner panel of the plurality of panels forms an oblique angle relative to a first one of the plurality of panels connected to the corner panel and relative to a second one of the plurality of panels connected to the corner panel. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is affixed to a surface of or proximate to the corner panel.

Embodiments of the present invention delineate systems and methods for dynamically assessing and mitigating risk of an insured entity. Additional embodiments of the present invention delineate systems and methods for providing a user of a mobile device with information relevant to a position of a mobile device, wherein such information may describe one of a risk and an opportunity within a predetermined distance of a location for the mobile device.

A shield element for mounting on an object, in particular a flat object, such as a chip card. The object has a base body, an RFID or NFC transponder, a transponder chip and a coil-shaped transmission antenna connected to the RFID or NFC transponder chip. The shield element has a carrier made of non-conductive material. The carrier has a closed or closable conducting path which, upon mounting the shield element on the object, shields the object from the electromagnetic fields generated by an external reading device and directed at the transmission antenna of the RFID or NFC transponder chip.

An electronic device including an electronic assembly and an enclosure. The electronics assembly including a host interface and a direct user input interface. The direct user input interface remains exposed when the device is connected to a host via the host interface. The enclosure, substantially in the form factor of a microSD device, forms the outer boundary of the electronic device, overmolded on the electronics assembly.

In one embodiment, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag including a substrate having a top surface, bottom surface, opposed end surfaces, and opposed lateral surfaces, a passive RFID integrated circuit (IC) chip mounted to the top surface of the substrate, a monopole antenna that includes a planar radiating arm that extends out from the RFID IC chip along the top surface of the substrate and a matching loop having two grounded matching stubs that surround the chip and a portion of the radiating arm, and a ground plane formed on the bottom surface, an end surface, and the top surface of the substrate, the ground plane being electrically coupled to the matching stubs and the radiating arm.

Previous printers were designed to print a paper copy of data and/or receipts which causes a disconnect with modern day data manipulation. This printer interface can print data to and receive data from the internet and hand held devices which will open up extremely fast data exchange and data manipulation for consumers, cities, states and the federal government without the expense of having to purchase complete new systems. By simply changing out an old printer we can connect all old computer systems with modern day systems that now have the ability to manipulate data automatically.
