A container assembly for tracking a radio frequency identification tag (20) generally includes at least one container (22), an RFID tag (24) associated with the container, and an RFID signal transmitter (26) associated with the radio frequency identification tag. The RFID signal transmitter is capable of transmitting an RFID response signal (1044). The assembly further includes a tracking signal transmitter (28) associated with the RFID signal transmitter. The tracking signal transmitter is capable of transmitting a tracking signal (1046), and the tracking signal is different at least in part from the RFID signal.

The invention provides a method and system for labeling items, wherein the labels contain digital information and can be read when desired. The coding of the labels is done by choosing specifically engineered nano-particles, micro-particles, or liquid material in the form of “ink.” The particles are designed to contain materials with distinguishable NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) or NQR (Nuclear quadrupole resonance) frequencies and are combined in sets to encode digital information. The NMR/NQR label particle sets are printed on the item to be labeled, or on a label substrate which is then attached to the item to be labeled. In one embodiment, the printed NMR/NQR label consists of an array of spots, each of which may encode one or more digital characters. These spots can be detected and the digital information in the label can be read using a suitable magnetic resonance detector.

Systems are provided for curing a deposited curable material film using a light source and feedback system for monitoring the degree of curing using detected optical properties of the film. Operational parameters of the light source (e.g., power) are adjusted by a control system in response to the detected optical properties of the film. In certain embodiments, the curing system includes at least one light source in optical communication with an uncured material, a detector for monitoring an optical property of the curing material, and a feedback system for controlling the light emitted from the light source in response to the detector.

Curing systems are provided that include a planar support surface for supporting a substrate having at least one layer deposited thereon, at least one curing device for curing the at least one deposited layer, and a control system for controlling the overall curing process. The curing device includes at least one laser, a lens module, and an optional modulator. During curing, the beam of light emitted from the laser may be directed onto the deposited layer by 1) controlling the position of an X-Y beam deflecting module to direct the focused beam of laser light onto a desired illumination area of the deposited layer; 2) controlling the position of the laser via an X-Y table, or 3) controlling the position of the substrate via an X-Y table.
