A method, computer program product, and computing system for proactive encounter scanning is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is proactively processed to determine if the encounter information is indicative of one or more medical conditions and to generate one or more result set. The one or more result sets are provided to the user.

A tag reading apparatus comprises a passage that is configured to receive an RFID-tagged article that is to be registered in a transaction. The passage has an inlet end and an outlet end separated from each other in a first direction and width in a second direction. An antenna is in the passage at a position between the inlet and outlet ends in the first direction. An RFID reader is provided to read an RFID tag according to a response wave from the RFID tag received via the antenna. A controller is configured to identify the RFID-tagged article as being in the transaction according to a change in the response wave (such as a phase difference or intensity) corresponding to a movement of the RFID-tagged article from the inlet end to the outlet end.

An active radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tag receives an RFID interrogation signal via a first antenna. An integrated frequency reference in the RFID chip recovers the clock from the RFID interrogation and generates a reference clock for transmitting data responsive to the RFID interrogation. The integrated frequency reference generates the reference clock at the same frequency as the RFID interrogation for transmitting the response via the first antenna. The integrated frequency reference generates the reference clock at a different frequency for transmitting the response using a Bluetooth beacon message or a WiFi message via a second antenna. A mobile computing device can interrogate the RFID tag via an NFC interface and receive a response via a Bluetooth beacon messages or WiFi message received via a Bluetooth or wireless interface of the mobile computing device.

The disclosure generally relates to networking infrastructure and, more particularly, to installing transient infrastructure for ubiquitous networking applications. A wireless gateway device is sent to physical premises with a parcel. After the wireless gateway device is delivered to the physical premises, a processor of the wireless gateway device draws power from the energy source to perform operations comprising executing program code stored in non-transitory processor-readable medium to establish a wireless communications connection with a network service through a first type of wireless communications interface. The wireless gateway device performs operations comprising establishing wireless communications with one or more wireless peripheral devices in the physical premises through the second type of wireless communications interface.

Aspects described herein may allow for a payment card assembly including a payment card having a first surface, an opposed second surface, and an aperture extending through the payment card from the first surface to the second surface. An insert may be removably received in the aperture. Each of a plurality of identification elements may be configured to be removably received in the aperture and have an identification characteristic different than an identification characteristic of each of the other identification elements.

In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag on a target surface of a non-planar object may be provided. The method may include positioning an antenna on the target surface of the non-planar object, positioning a reactive RFID strap on the target surface, and coupling the reactive RFID strap to the antenna to induce an antenna response.

A conductive structure for use with a RFID device having a metallic mass that is below a standard detection threshold of a metal detector and a method of manufacturing the same is disclosed herein. The conductive structure preferably comprises a pair of dipole arms extending from a tuning loop, wherein each of the pair of dipole arms terminates in a load end. The conductive structure may be manufactured from a printed metallic ink, or by cutting, lasering, or etching a metal foil. The conductive structure is modified to reduce overall thickness and metallic mass of the device as much as possible, while still maintaining an acceptable level of performance. Portions of the load ends may also be hollowed out to further reduce the conductive structure's metallic mass.

An inlay for a chip card. The inlay includes a module coupling antenna for inductively coupling to a chip module antenna of a chip module and a card reader coupling antenna for inductively coupling to a reader antenna of an external card reader. The card reader coupling antenna is electrically connected to the module coupling antenna. The inlay also includes a chip capacitor module that is electrically connected to the card reader coupling antenna for enabling the card reader coupling antenna to resonate at a predetermined frequency. The chip capacitor module includes at least one passive component for storing electrical energy. The at least one passive component has a capacitance within a range from 40 picofarads to 140 picofarads and a major area that is smaller than 2.6 square millimetres.

An inventory system configured for detecting and counting potentially retained surgical items within a body of a patient includes a dual detection tag, a signal generator, and an antenna operably coupled to the signal generator. The dual detection tag includes a beacon tag configured to transmit a first return signal at a first frequency when energized and a RFID tag affixed configured to transmit a second return signal at a second frequency when energized. The signal generator is configured to generate an energizing signal for the beacon tag and/or the RFID tag. The antenna configured to receive the first return signal transmitted by at least one of the beacon tag or the second return signal transmitted by the RFID tag.

An embodiment subscriber identification module includes a first communication interface, including first pads intended to be coupled to a modulator-demodulator circuit; a second interface, including second pads intended to be coupled to a subscriber identification module card; and a switching circuit, configured to couple the first pads to the second pads or to a communication module integrated to the subscriber identification module. Another embodiment concerns a method of controlling the module.
