A cassette for receiving and dispensing bills is disclosed. The cassette includes a sensor structured to detect a location of the cassette, and memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to transmit the location of the cassette to a remote computing device, determine that the location of the cassette has changed, and generate an indication that the location of the cassette has changed.

A high speed tabletop and industrial printer is disclosed with integrated high speed RFID encoding and verification at the same time. The industrial printer simultaneously prints on and electronically encodes/verifies RFID labels, tags, and/or stickers attached to a continuous web. The industrial printer comprises a lighted sensor array for indexing the printing to the RFID tags; and a cutter powered from the industrial printer for cutting the web that the RFID tags are disposed on. The industrial printer comprises two RFID reader/writers that are individually controlled. Specifically, one of the RFID reader/writers comprises the ability to electronically encode the RFID tags while the web is moving; and the second RFID reader/writer uses an additional RFID module and antenna on the printer for verifying the data encoded to the RFID tags.

A switching device can provide a pass-through connection between a first set of reader inputs and antenna inputs. The switching device can disconnect the pass-through connection between the first set of reader inputs from a first reader and the plurality of antenna inputs. The switching device can generate a tuned signal based on the antenna inputs. The switching device can provide the tuned signal to a second set of reader inputs for a second reader.

A resuscitation management system for a manual resuscitator may include a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that may be configured to be mounted on a first side of a bag of the manual resuscitator. The RFID tag may be configured to transmit information indicative of the presence of the RFID tag. The system may further include an RFID reader that may be configured to be mounted on an opposite second side of the bag. The RFID reader may be configured to generate an output signal corresponding to the presence of the RFID tag responsive to receiving the information transmitted by the RFID tag. The RFID reader may be configured to receive the information transmitted by the RFID tag responsive to the RFID tag being at a distance from the RFID reader smaller than a predetermined threshold.

There is provided a scanner that scans a plurality of pieces of furniture on which products are arranged. The scanner includes a reading unit configured to read information from a tag attached to the product, an estimation unit configured to perform estimation processing of estimating which furniture the tagged products read by the reading unit belongs to, and a display control unit configured to display furniture for which the estimation processing is completed and furniture for which the estimation processing is not completed so as to be distinguished from each other.

An inspection system of a chip includes a reading device and a determining unit. The reading device is configured to count a number of chips stored in a storage case, the chips associated with a table game and including a chip having a radio tag, read the radio tag while the chips are stored in the storage case, and acquire chip information. The determining unit is configured to compare the chip information of the chips in the storage case with a physical number of the chips in the storage case, determine that there is an abnormal chips among the chips stored in the storage case based on a determination that the counted number of the chips does not match a physical number of the chips in the storage case, and output a result associated with an indication of the abnormal chip.

The solution proposed by the invention consists of a method for monitoring the tyres of vehicles transporting excavations in mines, using tyre handling equipment, said tyres being equipped with radio frequency identification tags and physical parameter sensors; said method also using a database comprising the identifiers of the vehicles, the identifiers of the tyres, the identifiers of the sensors and of the positions of the tyres on the axles.

Various examples describe a livestock monitoring system and method. A sensor signal may comprise a rotational component describing a rotation of the sensor within an animal and a linear component describing a linear movement of the sensor within the animal. The rotational component may be used to identify an animal respiration signal. The animal respiration signal and the linear component may be used to generate a respiration-corrected linear component. An animal heart signal may be detected from the respiration-corrected linear component.

Example aspects include methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable medium for receiving, by an antenna of a tag tracking/detection system, a tag signal of a tag in the tag tracking/detection system; determining, based on a strength or pattern of the tag signal, whether the tag signal comprises a reflected signal that is reflected by one or more reflective surfaces, wherein the one or more reflective surfaces are configured to focus tag signals of tags in a target location of the tag tracking/detection system toward the antenna of the tag tracking/detection system; and generating an output signal responsive to the tag signal comprising the reflected signal that is reflected by the one or more reflective surfaces, wherein the output signal is indicative of the tag being detected in the target location.

An improved radio frequency identification (RFID) reader system includes a plurality of wireless integrated RFID readers located in different locations in an environment, one or more RFID tags, each RFID tag configured to generate a radio frequency (RF) response signal based on data stored on the RFID tag, and a wireless communication gateway. Each of the wireless integrated RFID readers includes an RFID antenna, an electronics module coupled to the RFID antenna configured to operate the RFID antenna and interpret data signals received at the RFID antenna from one or more RFID tags, and a wireless communication system of a first type configured to wirelessly communicate with wireless nodes of the RFID reader system. The wireless communication gateway includes a wireless communication system of the first type configured to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of wireless integrated RFID readers.
