Abstract:
A safety strap system having a computer and safety strap connected to the computer is disclosed. The strap may be electronically and mechanically coupled to the computer, such that the system is configured to automatically sense the strap being broken and signals the computer through decision logic to take whatever pre-programmed steps it should take to signal for help.
Abstract:
Embodiments of systems include a capsule that houses one or more peripheral devices, such as radios, capable of being used with hand-held computing devices such as RFID tag readers. A receptacle can be mounted on the hand-held computing device. The receptacle receives the capsule. Electrical connectors on the capsule and the receptacle mate when the receptacle is received by the receptacle, to electrically connect the peripheral device and the hand-held computing device. A seal is provided to prevent infiltration of water, dust, and other contaminates into the electrical connectors. A portion of the capsule is exposed when the capsule is located in the receptacle, to accommodate external antennas, connectors, optical port etc. that may be required by the peripheral device.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional dipole antenna system or an RFID tag that optimizes detection for a given available volume in which to situate the RFID tag
Abstract:
A multiple frequency detection system allows the seamless integration of an almost ideal EAS function with an RFID function. While not being limited to a particular theory, the preferred embodiments integrate EAS technology at, for example, 8.2MHz or 14MHz, and RFID technology at, for example, 13.56 MHz in a common antenna package. The use of standard RFID frequencies as forcing functions will allow for the easy packaging of EAS with RFID and have a true roadmap of a scalable technology.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for bonding integrated circuits uniquely suited to high volume tag production is described, where conductive material of a substrate at the die-attach-area is cut before an IC chip or transponder is placed on the conductive material over the cut and bonded. The apparatus performs the method of placing a first chip on a substrate having a conductive layer, measuring the location of the first chip on the substrate, cutting the conductive layer at a location of an expected subsequently placed chip to form a cut based on the measured location of the first chip, and placing the subsequently placed chip on the substrate over the cut.

Abstract:
A stowable antenna system for a security system is provided which includes an electronic radiating element in the form of a furlable flexible sheet, a power supply to power the electronic radiating element and a housing to receive and store the radiating element in a furled condition. The radiating element may be extended to an unfurled condition for use in the security system. One or more risers may extend from the housing for supporting the radiating element in the unfurled condition. The electronic radiating element may be received in the housing and stored in the housing in a rolled up, windowshade configuration.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a tag includes the steps of applying a first patterned adhesive (122) to the surface (150a) of the substrate and applying a first electrically conductive foil (132) to the first patterned adhesive. A portion of the first electrically conductive foil (132) not adhered to the first patterned adhesive (135) is removed and a second patterned adhesive is applied to a portion of a surface area (132a) of the tag. A preformed second electrically c onductive foil (140) is applied to the second patterned adhesive (135) to adhere the second electrically conductive foil (140) to the surface of the substrate and portions of the first and second electrically conductive foils are electrically coupled to each other to form a tag circuit. A second patterned adhesive (135a)is disposed between the first (132) and second (140) electricallyconductive foils.
