The translator may be configured to receive a wireless communication signal transmitted from a first electronic device at a first frequency, interpret a communication content from the wireless communication signal using a first communication protocol, translate the first communication content to be transmitted as a wireless translated signal using a second communication protocol, and transmit the wireless translated signal at a second frequency to be received by a second electronic device.

Disclosed is a card clock recovery system for use in an NFC card transceiver couplable to an NFC reader. The card clock recovery system has: a phase lock loop having: a phase/frequency detector, which is configured to receive a reference signal provided at an RX port of a matching network during a receiving mode of the NFC transceiver or to receive a reference signal provided at the RX port of the matching network during a transmission mode of the NFC transceiver, to receive a loop feedback signal, and to provide a phase error signal that represents a phase difference between the reference signal and the loop feedback signal; a loop filter configured to receive a corrected phase error signal that is derived from the phase error signal, and to provide a filtered corrected phase error signal; a controllable oscillator, which is configured to receive the filtered corrected phase error signal and to provide a controlled frequency output signal, which is provided as the card clock generation control signal to a card clock generation unit of an NFC card transceiver, and as the loop feedback signal, via the loop feedback line, to the phase/frequency detector. The card clock recovery system further has a phase offset correction unit, which is configured to receive the phase error signal provided by the phase/frequency detector and to provide the corrected phase error signal to the loop filter, and which has a phase error sampling unit, a phase offset computation unit, and a phase subtractor unit.

Various embodiments are directed to overlaying relevant product information in augmented reality via the use of near-field communication (NFC) and a product selection system. A user may authenticate into an application or user profile. Information about the user in the user profile may be used to determine which products are relevant to the user. Information related to the relevant products may then be displayed to the user in augmented reality, which improves at least the overall shopping and in-store experience.

A system optimizes the organization of components for the manufacture of wood products. The system includes memory devices and processing devices operatively coupled to the memory device, wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to execute computer-readable computer program code to receive a plurality of job orders for distinct wood products having varying components; optimize cutting of all components for the plurality of job orders to minimize waste of source materials, thereby resulting in a plurality of components for the plurality of job orders; track each component electronically in order to identify each component at a final cutting machine location; and affix a unique indicator on each component indicating both a receptacle and a receptacle portion corresponding to each component, thereby optimizing organization of all the components by at least one of job, distance from machine to receptacle, and distance from receptacle to assembly location.

An energy transfer system includes a spinal implant having an antenna, an antenna extender attached to a portion of the spinal implant in proximity to the antenna, and a reader device configured to send energy to the spinal implant via the antenna extender. The antenna extender extends away from the spinal implant. The spinal implant is configured to be positioned within a spinal area of a patient.

An IC card communicates with a reader/writer, which is inductive read/write communication equipment, in a non-contact manner. The IC card includes a proximity detection circuit that detects a proximity state to the reader/writer, a near-field communication circuit, an electronic function circuit, an electricity storage device, and a power supply control circuit. The power supply control circuit controls, based on a detection result of the proximity detection circuit, power supply from the electricity storage device to the electronic function circuit. The IC card manages and controls presence/absence and timing of power supply from the electricity storage device to the electronic function circuit and effectively controls discharging of the electricity storage device and charging of the electricity storage device.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for a method that predicts an individual survival survival time of a patient. The method includes obtaining clinical data associated with health factors of the patient. The method includes obtaining liquid biopsy data associated with one or more attributes of diseased cells within the patient. The method includes predicting or determining a survival time of the patient using a deep learning model based on the clinical data and the liquid biopsy data. The method includes providing or outputting the survival time.

A device includes one or more NFC chips that are preprogrammed to provide a payee's identification and information for launching any of several P2P cashless payment applications to which the payee is subscribed, to a mobile phone of a payor. When a mobile device of a payor is brought to the vicinity of an NFC chip of the device, the mobile device launches a corresponding P2P cashless payment application. The P2P cashless payment application shows the payee's information and the payor may proceed to make a payment to the payee. The device may include an NFC chip that is preprogrammed to provide the payee's identification and the information for launching a single application on the mobile device of the payor to display the P2P cashless payment applications to which the payee is subscribed. The payor may then proceed to make a payment to the payee using the payor's mobile device.

A master control device in the configuration of a wand may control pre-programmed aspects of the user's environment using RFID/NFC tags and RFID/NFC readers to initiate pre-programmed behavior in a computer database. This pre-programmed behavior be the control of items that rely on electricity and/or gas, such as lights, electric fireplaces, electric valves, activating the listening feature on a home assistant, accruing a balance, paying for items with a topped-up balance, and locking and unlocking doors. This master control device can be used in the connected home or business, such as a pub, restaurant, hotel, or immersive experience.
