Systems and methods for RFID-enabled pressure sensing apparatus

Methods, apparatuses and systems for radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled information collection are disclosed, including an enclosure, a collector coupled to the enclosure, an interrogator, a processor, and one or more RFID field sensors, each having an individual identification, disposed within the enclosure. In operation, the interrogator transmits an incident signal to the collector, causing the collector to generate an electromagnetic field within the enclosure. The electromagnetic field is affected by one or more influences. RFID sensors respond to the electromagnetic field by transmitting reflected signals containing the individual identifications of the responding RFID sensors to the interrogator. The interrogator receives the reflected signals, measures one or more returned signal strength indications (“RSSI”) of the reflected signals and sends the RSSI measurements and identification of the responding RFID sensors to the processor to determine one or more facts about the influences. Other embodiments are also described.

Medical facility

A medical facility includes an imaging medical device and at least one portable control/display unit. The imaging medical device includes a number of docking stations, each with a closed surface and designed to establish a wireless data link to the control/display unit, and designed to simultaneously hold the unit on the imaging medical device in a defined position.

Keyboard and mobile device with radio frequency antenna

A keyboard and mobile device are provided that include a plurality of keys installed in the keyboard or mobile device, and a radio frequency antenna device mounted below the plurality of keys.

Techniques for conserving power on a device

This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for conserving power on an electronic device. For instance, at given time intervals, the electronic device may be sending input data to a network device and receiving audio data from the network device. The electronic device may then use one or more techniques to determine when to switch from operating in a first mode, where the electronic device sends and/or receives the data, to operating in a second mode, where the electronic device ceases sending and/or receiving the data. For example, the electronic device may make the determination based on an amount of data stored in a buffer, whether the electronic device receives data, using data received from the network device, and/or the like. Based on the determination, the electronic device may switch to the second mode in order to conserve power.

CAPACITIVE TOUCH DEVICE
