International Classification:

B60Q 9/00

Abstract:

The present invention pertains to a selective proximity detection system. A selective proximity detection system comprises at least one proximity tag, a plurality of sensor nodes, and at least one alert node. A sensor nodes comprises a proximity detector capable of detecting proximity with respect to the proximity tag, and a motion detector. In a preferred embodiment, a motion detector is an infrared detector. In alternate embodiments, a motion detector may employ video, radar motion sensing, or sensing of scattered RF signals, preferably FM broadcast signals whose half wavelength is comparable in dimension to the height of a typical person. In a preferred embodiment, a proximity detector is a NFER locator-receiver and a proximity tag is a NFER tag transmitter. In alternate embodiments, a proximity detector may employ ZigBee, WiFi, Bluetooth, passive scattering of ambient RF signals or other means of proximity detection. A sensor node conveys motion detection data and proximity detection data to an alert mode via a datalink. An alert node selects from among a variety of alert responses based upon the motion detection data and proximity detection data.

Abstract:

The present disclosure pertains to a rotationally triply symmetric three axis magnetic antenna system having substantial isolation among the three axes, including a three axis skew orthogonal magnetic antenna system and device utilizing the antenna system. The antenna system comprising three substantially identical magnetic antenna elements disposed symmetrically about a reference point such that the magnetic axes from the three antenna elements are orthogonal to one another in direction and do not intersect one another. The three antenna elements are positioned in a substantial cross coupling null from one another to minimize cross coupling. The arrangement yields packaging efficiency for compact electronic devices. A 1, 1, diameter embodiment is disclosed. A location system utilizing the antenna system is disclosed. Methods for producing the antenna are disclosed. A moldable triple coil holder for the antenna system is described.
