The disclosure relates to systems and methods for compliance monitoring in a secure facility. A method can include generating, by a mobile radio frequency identification (RFID) device, data regarding a proximate stationary RFID device of stationary RFID devices situated about a correctional facility, the mobile RFID device associated with a user, and comparing, by a server, the generated data to compliance monitoring rules that govern actions to be performed by the personnel in monitoring offender behavior, each of the compliance monitoring rules including an associated timeframe in which an action of the compliance monitoring rule is to be performed, and generating, by the server, an alert to be provided to the mobile RFID device in response to determining a time associated with a compliance monitoring action has already expired or will expire in a specified amount of time.

A portable tracking device including a substantially rectangular base unit. A display screen, a video camera, a keypad, a pair of lights, an activation control, a video control, a bar code scanner, and a camera control are disposed on the base unit. The pair of lights includes a first light and a second light. The bar code scanner is configured to scan the barcode of each of a plurality of tags. The first light of the pair of lights is configured to activate when a user scans the barcode of one of the plurality of tags a first time. The first light of the pair of lights is configured to deactivate and the second light of the pair of lights is configured to simultaneously activate when the user scans the barcode of one of the plurality of tags a second time.

A transit system includes a road, a plurality of pavement markers spaced apart along a lane line of the road, and a plurality of RF devices carried by the pavement markers. The RF devices are configured to transmit RF navigation signals to motor vehicles traveling along the road.

An article is described herein which comprises a substrate, a character sequence disposed on the substrate, a scratch-off coating disposed at least in part over at least one portion of the character sequence, and at least one conductive trace disposed at least in part over the at least one portion of the character sequence.

In accordance with an embodiment, an electronic device includes a secure element configured to implement a plurality of operating systems; and a near field communication module coupled to the secure element by a single bus and by a routing circuit configured to route routing data between the plurality of operating systems and a receive circuit of the near field communication module.

A system for dental X-ray imaging includes an intra oral imaging plate. A tag is attached directly to the intra oral imaging plate. The tag attached directly to the intra oral imaging plate is configured to have tag information remotely read from the tag or the tag is configured to have tag information written to the tag. The tag information is configured to control a portion of the system adapted to perform at least one operation controlled by the tag information.

A programmable, refillable medication dispenser with scheduled metered medication unit dispensing, includes a main housing, a powered CPU with countdown timer, a multi-unit medication removable refillable cartridge with a (first) lock, a medication release control gate positioned at a medication outlet and connected to a (second) lock being a gate control mechanism, and an in-chamber medication unit sensor. A pharmacist will insert a medicine cartridge into the main housing, locking it in, and will program the CPU to permit a patient to activate dispensing according to a predetermined schedule, and then only when a medication unit is sensed in the chamber. A patient may receive the dispenser and activate medication dispensing according to the programmed schedule and dispense by the timer schedule, only when a medication unit is sensed in the chamber.

A reading apparatus includes a communication unit, a scanner, and a processor. The communication unit communicates with a wireless tag provided on paper. The scanner scans the paper. The processor acquires data from the wireless tag through the communication unit, acquires an image from the paper by using the scanner, and generates a file in which the data is embedded in the image as hidden characters.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for receiving a magnetic signal from a magnetic signal transmitter, determining a strength of the magnetic signal at the security tag, receiving a radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogatory signal from a RFID scanner, and transmitting a RFID response signal, to the RFID scanner, indicating the strength of the magnetic signal.

A system may include a fastener having a trench formed in a side of a head of the fastener. The system may further include a magneto-elastic component spanning the trench and attached to the head of the fastener on both sides of the trench. The system may also include a coil wrapped around the magneto-elastic component between both sides of the trench. The system may include a radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit, where the coil may be electrically connected to the RFID circuit resulting in a resonance response frequency that is a function of a strain level applied to the magneto-elastic component.
