    摘要: A method for securing an RFID tag to an object includes providing an RFID tag and placing the RFID tag on the object. The RFID tag has an RFID chip and an antenna electrically connected to the RFID chip. The RFID tag also has a first and second opening extending through the RFID tag. The object has a first and second protrusion extending from a surface of the object. The first and second protrusions extend through the first and second openings when the RFID tag is placed on the object. The method also includes melting the first and second protrusions to create a single integral boss that covers at least a portion of the RFID tag and secures the RFID tag to the object. The chip may be nonfunctional prior to the securement process.

    摘要: A portable container (2) for one or more articles (16) each tagged with a respective Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device (18). The container (2) comprises: a bay (6) having at least one opening (O) for removal and/or placement of RFID-tagged articles (16) into the bay (6); a lid (15) for covering the at least one opening in the bay (6), wherein the lid (15) is openable to permit access to the bay (6); a detector device (21,22) for detecting RFID-tagged articles (16) located in the bay (6); a power supply (30) for supplying electrical power to the detector device (21,22). The container (2) further comprises: an electromagnetic shield (19,19a,19b,19c,19d) wherein the bay (6) and the at least opening in the bay (6) is enclosed by the electromagnetic shield and wherein the lid (15) forms part of the electromagnetic shield.

    摘要: A controller in an interrogation device performs, for each RF tag passing through an interrogation zone that is defined near an interrogation unit, an integration process of integrating a strength of a reception signal from the RF tag received by the interrogation unit. The integration process includes weighting of an integral value of the strength of the reception signal in a manner to cause an integrate value calculated for each reception signal to be larger than an integral value calculated for a preceding reception signal. When an RF tag moves to a predetermined position in the interrogation zone, the controller transmits, to a host device, an identifier of an RF tag having a maximum integral value selected from the integrated value calculated for each RF tag.

    摘要: Thin RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags that are waterproof, made of materials able to withstand high pressure, hot and cold temperatures, and durable enough for a wide variety of applications, including being attached, affixed to, woven in, or otherwise enclosed within clothing, towels, linen, or other laundry, or affixed to other products, including consumer products, food products, and other goods and inventory. The tags have up to two antennas printed from a conductive ink solution comprising DuPont e782 Silver ink, graphite, and neodymium on a substrate foil made of materials including ST505 PET polymide, polyester, kapton, or a combination of ST505 PET polymide and kapton, Information stored on such RFID tags can be read using a variety UHF readers or a smartphones using RFID or Bluetooth or other forms of wireless communication.
