X-Change Corporation Files Additional Patent on Child Safety Seat RFID Technology

DALLAS--X-Change Corporation (OTCBB:XCHC) today said its wholly owned subsidiary, AirGATE Technologies, Inc., has filed an additional patent application on its radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled child safety seat technology. The present invention provides a passive, wireless, RF buckle-closure sensor that has particular applicability in improved child safety seats for automobiles.

The application claims priority from US Provisional Application Number 60/596,729 filed October 17, 2005 titled CHILD BOOSTER SEAT SYSTEM AND ARTICLES USED FOR SAME filed in the name of Michael L. Sheriff and US Provisional Application Number 60/780040 filed March 2, 2006 titled RFID BUCKLE CLOSURE AND PRESENCE SENSOR SYSTEM filed in the names of Michael L. Sheriff and Ethan Funk.

The AirGATE technology employs RFID to transmit a low-powered radio signal that will trigger an audible and visual warning to the driver when it detects that a child is riding in a safety seat whose straps are not buckled. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, more children are killed as passengers in car crashes than from any other type of injury. The U.S. Department of Transportations National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), reports that nearly 12% of children who weigh less than 60 pounds are riding completely unrestrained in their safety seats.
