364 results about "Tag system" patented technology

A tag system is a deterministic computational model published by Emil Leon Post in 1943 as a simple form of a Post canonical system. A tag system may also be viewed as an abstract machine, called a Post tag machine (not to be confused with Post–Turing machines)—briefly, a finite-state machine whose only tape is a FIFO queue of unbounded length, such that in each transition the machine reads the symbol at the head of the queue, deletes a constant number of symbols from the head, and appends to the tail a symbol-string that depends solely on the first symbol read in this transition.

Systems and methods for collaborative tag suggestions

A set of general criteria have been defined to improve the efficacy of a tagging system, and have been applied to present collaborative tag suggestions to a user. The collaborative tag suggestions are based on a goodness measure for tags derived from collective user authorities to combat spam. The goodness measure is iteratively adjusted by a reward-penalty algorithm during tag selection. The collaborative tag suggestions can also incorporate other sources of tags, e.g., content-based auto-generated tags.

Wireless local area network (WLAN) channel radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag system and method therefor

A wireless local area network (WLAN) radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag system provides location finding in a wireless local area network (WLAN), using a WLAN channel. Interference with the WLAN is prevented by either using a sniffer circuit to determine that no network transmission is in progress, using a modified coding sequence or preamble to cause standard WLAN receivers to ignore the RFID tag transmissions, or transmitting a message using a standard WLAN signal addressed to an address not corresponding to a unit within the WLAN. Location units (LUs) and a master unit (MU) within the WLAN receive the RFID tag transmissions and can determine the location of a tag by triangulation based on differences between the signals received at the location units from the tag. The master unit receives the signal information from the location units and computes the location of the tag. Time-difference-of-Arrival (TDOA), received signal strength indication (RSSI) or other triangulation techniques may be used.

System and method for killing a RFID tag

System and method for disabling a RFID tag. A preferred embodiment comprises attenuating a signal received at an antenna of the RFID tag based upon a status of the RFID tag and responding to an instruction in the received signal if the attenuated signal is detectable. The attenuation of the received signal requires that the received signal have a signal strength greater than a specified threshold in order for the instruction in the received signal to be detectable. This means that for a given signal transmit power, the RFID tag must be within a certain distance from a RFID reader attempting to retrieve information from the RFID tag. By setting the attenuation amount at a sufficiently high level, the method ensures that the RFID reader must be substantially adjacent to the RFID tag, preventing the unintended retrieval of unique identification information by RFID readers remotely located from the RFID tag.

Interference with other tags and other transmitters is prevented by either using a sniffer circuit to determine that no network transmission is in progress, or by using a special non-interfering coding sequence. A receiver within the tag is operated for a predetermined period of time after a periodic transmission is made from the tag, and an address decoder determines if the tag is being addressed. The receiver can receive data and / or commands after being addressed and is shutdown if the window time elapses, the tag is not addressed, or at the completion of data / command transfer.
