摘要:
A radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna exhibiting a multiple resonance is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a dipole antenna and a loop antenna are disposed upon a substrate and have dimensions and orientation to exhibit the multiple resonance. The dipole antenna may exhibit a first dipole section having a first length and second dipole section having a second length. The loop antenna may be disposed in a region of the dipole antenna. The ratio of the perimeter of the loop antenna to the sum of the lengths of the dipole sections may be selected to exhibit the multiple resonance.

A security tag including independent EAS and RFID components disposed in a housing configured for geometric placement of the RFID and EAS components for optimum RFID performance. The EAS component is situated in a first compartment and the RFID component is situated in a second compartment. The RFID component includes a hybrid antenna RFID inlay and an IC chip. The tag housing includes a key structure that minimizes the de-tuning of both the EAS and RFID components by positioning the IC chip such that the IC chip is closer to a first side of the second compartment than the second side of the second compartment when the antenna inlay is inserted within the housing. The housing further includes one or more pins that raise the RFID inlay above the magnetic resonator of the EAS component to further insure optimal RFID read performance.
摘要:
An EAS security tag for providing both EAS and battery recharging features within one tag. The tag includes a rechargeable battery and an antenna having a magnetic core and at least one coil winding disposed around at least a portion of the core. The antenna supplies a voltage corresponding to a first frequency or a second frequency when placed within a magnetic field. The tag also includes an EAS circuit having a resonant frequency corresponding to the first frequency, and an energy harvesting circuit having a resonant frequency corresponding to the second frequency, where the battery recharging circuit recharges the rechargeable battery. Depending upon the magnetic field that the tag is exposed to, either the EAS circuit is enabled thus allowing for EAS detection or the energy harvesting circuit is enabled allowing for the battery to be recharged.

Adhesives particularly useful for industrial bottle labeling are provided. The adhesives comprise at least one starch component and at least one protein component (which is not gelatin or casein). The adhesive is also free of synthetic polymer. The label, along with the adhesive, can be easily removed from the bottle during the recycling process. In one embodiment, the starch component does not contain leguminous starch having an amylose content of 25% or more. In another embodiment, the adhesive comprises a crosslinking agent.
摘要:
A method of controlling healthcare claim payment losses including accessing information about a claim after a payer is prepared to pay, but prior to payment, applying at least one rule to the information, wherein the at least one rule is adapted to determine indications of fraud and if fraud is indicated, flagging the claim, else recommending payment, wherein flagging of the claim or recommending payment occurs prior to payment. Also, a healthcare claim loss control system including a database having data related to healthcare claims and a loss control engine in communication with the database wherein the loss control engine accesses data corresponding to a healthcare claim when the claim is ready for payment, but before payment of the claim occurs and wherein the claim scoring engine applies at least one rule adapted to identify fraud and flags the claim for any indicated fraud before payment of the claim.
摘要:
A method for controlling healthcare claim payment losses including accessing information about a claim after a payer is prepared to pay, but prior to payment, evaluating the information including at least one of determining indications of fraud, validating service coding and editing as indicated, identifying possible payment discounts, and developing analytics indicative of risk for future claims, and providing loss control recommendations based at least partially on the evaluation, prior to paying the claim. Also a loss control system for healthcare claims with a loss control engine and a database in communication with the loss control engine, wherein the loss control engine accesses information about healthcare claims from the database after the claims have been processed for payment and wherein the loss control engine further analyses the claims for potential cost savings and returns a loss control recommendation for each claim to the database before payment of the respective claim.
摘要:
A method of controlling healthcare claim payment losses including accessing claim information after a payer is prepared to pay the claim, but prior to payment, evaluating the information and developing a score indicative of loss control opportunities and if the score exceeds a threshold, flagging the claim to the payer for loss control opportunities else, recommending payment, wherein flagging of the claim or recommending payment of the claim occurs prior to payment. A healthcare claim loss control system including a database having data related to claims and a scoring engine in communication with the database wherein the scoring engine accesses data corresponding to a claim when the claim is ready for payment, but before payment occurs and wherein the scoring engine evaluates the claim for loss control opportunities and generates at least one score for the claim corresponding to the evaluated loss control opportunities before payment.
摘要:
The present invention provides an RFID device having a substrate body, and an IC component and antenna disposed thereon. The RFID device may further include one or more spacing elements, wherein at least a portion of the substrate body is adapted to be disposed around at least a portion the spacing element, thus reducing the overall size of the substrate body with proper impedance matching. The RFID device may further include an EAS element coupled to the substrate body and/or the spacing element in order to create a combination RFID/EAS device with the ability to reduce its overall footprint without sacrificing the ability to provide both identification and article surveillance functions.
摘要:
A radio frequency identification, RFID, security system tag is provided. The tag includes an RFID element and a first housing portion. The first housing portion defines an interior and an opening. The interior of the first housing portion includes an inner periphery and a shelf disposed about at least a portion of the inner periphery. The interior of the first housing portion also includes a plurality of protrusions in which the plurality of protrusions extend outwardly from the shelf toward the opening. The RFID element is disposed at least in part on the plurality of protrusions.
