Abstract:
Systems and methods allow for the integrated circuit cards (ICCs) to removably couple to each other and transmit information to an access device as a single device. One among the two or more ICCs coupled together may read data from the remaining ICCs and provide the data to an access device via contactless communication. The ICC may include a substrate; an integrated circuit embedded in the substrate; input ports exposed on a first surface of the substrate, and output ports exposed on a second surface of the substrate. The input ports and the output ports are electrically coupled to the integrated circuit. The output ports are configured to be removably coupled to the input ports of a second ICC.
Abstract:
What is described is an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag configured for communicating with an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, wherein the RFID tag is configured to receive a query command from the RFID reader, to measure a duration of a TRcal signal comprised by the query command, and to determine an individual Backscatter Link Frequency for communicating with the RFID reader based on the measured duration of the TRcal signal. The invention also refers to an RFID reader and to a corresponding method.
Abstract:
A breakaway RFID tag is configured such that it comprises part of a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCB). Thus, the breakaway RFID tag can be used to track the PCB as it migrates through a manufacturing process. In one embodiment, the RFID tag can be assembled first and then used to track the PCB as it is populated with components and installed into larger assemblies and ultimately into the end device. Once the PCB is installed into a larger assembly or the end device, the breakaway RFID tag is configured such that it can be broken off and attached to the outside of the larger assembly or end device.
Abstract:
Provided is a chip tray which is capable of accurately reading out an IC tag for use in RFID without increasing a magnitude of a magnetic field generated by an antenna. A magnetic field generating antenna is disposed along a direction in which a plurality of tokens having embedded therein feeder antennas of IC tags for use in RFID are stacked.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the RFID reader for use in casinochip tray containing: a casinochip tray where RFID tag-embedded casino chips can be accommodated; a housing of which an upper side is opened in order for the casinochip tray to be located; a RFID antenna line which is arranged on the circumference and on the bottom side of the housing; and a RFID reader which is connected to the RFID antenna line.
Abstract:
A radio frequency identification apparatus for a book management operation is disclosed, which is an RFID library slanted cavity device configured with a non-metallic slanted cavity for users to place and pick items or books conveniently. The RFID library slanted cavity device is configured with RFID readers for accessing information from books or audio/video multimedia items that are operated by users, by that not only the efficiency of the RFID readers to access the RFID tags attached to the books or multimedia items can be enhanced, but also the output power of the RFID readers can be lower for reducing electromagnetic wave leakage to ambient environment, while still working with satisfactory access efficiency. With the aforesaid device, the accuracy of a self-service operation can be enhanced by its ergonomics design, and also a book management operation can be performed efficiently since the RFID tag attached to books can be accessed effectively.
Abstract:
A radio frequency identification (RFID) device includes a conductive antenna structure having an elongated slot therein. Parts of the antenna structure on both sides of one end of the elongated slot are coupled to a wireless communication device, such as an RFID chip or interposer. On the opposite end of the elongated slot, parts of the antenna structure at both sides of the elongated slot are electrically coupled together, for instance by being coupled together by other conductive parts of the antenna structure. All of the parts of the antenna structure may be parts of a continuous unitary layer of conductive material. The antenna structure with the elongated slot therein may facilitate increased readability of the RFID device, particularly in directions out from the edges of the RFID device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of RFID systems for use with items of interest having RFID tags, such as in a library. The invention has particular applicability to determining the location, order, and other information regarding such items.
Abstract:
Antennas 21 generate electromagnetic waves that cause an RFID tag to generate electricity, the RFID tag being provided in a game chip placed on an upper surface of a betting board 4. A plurality of the antennas 21 are provided in association with each bet portion 3 on the betting board 4. Antennas 31 receive a signal from the RFID tag. Each of the antennas 31 is provided in association with the plurality of antennas 21. A set of the plurality of antennas 21 associated with the respective antennas 31 is driven while successively being changed over among the antennas 21, for each set of the antennas 21 associated with each antenna 31. Further, each antenna 31 is driven at least while any of the plurality of antennas 21 associated with this antenna 31 generates electromagnetic waves.
