to differing tensile loads.
Passive Tamper-Resistant Seal And Applications Therefor
US Patent #10,008,083 (Continuation in Part #3 of US Patent #8,063,779)
Defines systems and methods of using a ribbon array of
passive Radio Frequency Identification (pRFID) tags to provide alerts and
information about the severity of materials fractures at locations prone to fatigue.
This CIP further expands the technology of a ribbon array of multiple pRFID seals on a substrate

of at lease one surface acoustic wave (SAW) radio frequency identification (RFID) seal to
further expand fatigue fracture detection capabilities.
Method and Apparatus for Cataloguing and Polling
Movement in an Environment for Purposes of Tracking
and/or Containment of Infectious Diseases
US Patent #7,817,046; Canada Patent #2597224
A system for containing and
restricting the spread of infectious diseases within
hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities by
cataloguing and delimiting movement of patients, medical
staff, employees, visitors, contractors and other
personnel attending or on-site. The system also provides
for tracking and cataloguing contaminated medical
apparatus, medicine trolleys, food trolleys, medical gas
stations, laundry baskets and other mobile or movable
medical equipment or facility equipment to prevent
spread of the infectious disease or viral entities.
System and Method for Tracking Inventory
US Patent #8,145,546; United Kingdom Patent
#GB2402242
An inventory tracking system that
utilizes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to
track the inventory of items in a specified location
such as storage cabinets, refrigerators/freezers,
dispensing machines, stock rooms, warehouses, etc. A
card/wristband/fob reader can be utilized to monitor,
record and/or restrict the removal of items from each
location.
Supplementary Antenna for RFID and Product Unit
Incorporating Same
US Patent #7,559,482
Applicable to inventory management
for vending/dispensing machines, fridges/freezers, etc,
or any "smart shelf" based solutions to simplify the
complexity and boost the efficiency of RFID antenna
systems. Supplementary Antenna for RFID is specifically
tailored to enhance the reading capabilities of RFID
tags placed on/in products, packages, etc. especially in
previously difficult to read types of conditions.
Communication Server Including Virtual Gateway to
Perform Protocol Conversion and Communication System Incorporating Same
US Patent #6,873,620; Canada Patent #2281752; Europe
Patent #EP0972380 Claim charts available
LINK to Litigation Listing
Intelligent Communications Server
enhances communications connectivity in wireless and/or
land-line networks for seamless interconnectivity of incompatible
communication systems with automatic protocol detection and conversion,
which enables the significant reduction of cellular network
signaling
loads as well as wireless device power consumption for IoT (Internet of Things)
and OTT (Over-the-Top) media.
Physical devices connected to
separate networks can communicate using different
protocols through cStar's Intelligent Communication
Server, which acts as an intermediary between the
networks and performs protocol conversion so that
messages are automatically converted into a protocol
compatible with the communications network where the
message is being sent.
Wireless Transport Protocol ("WTP")
US Patent #6,563,813
Claim charts available
LINK to Litigation Listing
cStar's flagship patent which enables the significant reduction of cellular network
signaling loads as well as wireless device power consumption for
IoT (Internet of Things) and OTT (Over-the-Top) media, WTP reduces
the number and size of radio packet transmissions over any wireless
network by using packet reduction and special data compression technology.
WTP also improves reliability by applying a retransmission
algorithm that avoids/eliminates packet loss.
WTP is a Connectionless protocol that provides:
- Guaranteed packet delivery
- Packet number reduction
- Packet compression
- Packet integrity and security
- Highly efficient error detection and correction
This fundamental patent protects
cStar's SkyGate®, DirectGate®,
and Virtual Gateway engine compression and encryption
technologies.
Cashierless Shopping Store and Components for Use
Therein
US Patent #6,725,206; Canada Patent #2201423
One-stop, self-checkout shopping
carts. A Cashierless Shopping Store includes a variety
of intelligent shopping carts into which shoppers place
selected products for purchase. Each of the carts
contains a portable wireless terminal to read barcodes
of items placed in the cart for purchase and a weight
detector (load cell) for the terminal to audit the
weight of products placed in the cart. At the checkout
station, a precise scale makes a final tally and
wirelessly reconciles the collected shopping contents
through a local area network. If the correlation is
precise, payment is processed via a credit or debit card
transaction.
Radio Range Finder
US Patent #5,805,105; Canada Patent #2190940; New
Zealand Patent #287000
Radio Range Finder is a radio range
finding technology that includes a range finder and a
variety of remote mobile transponders. The range finder
transmits a signal modulated with an address code that
represents a particular mobile transponder ID. When the
mobile transponder receives the modulated signal [M2],
the mobile transponder transmits a return signal [Rs] to
the range finder, which conveys the signal to a mixer.
The output of the mixer is then filtered and demodulated
to produce an output signal proportional to the distance
between the mobile transponder and the range finder.
Proximity Detector
US Patent #5,952,835
A non-contact capacitive adjustable
detector that is used to detect the presence or removal
of an object within a predetermined perimeter to the
detector.
