Patent number: 11941573Abstract: A system and method for food traceability from a food service location to the consumer is disclosed. The method comprises marking food items with a received label as the food items are received. This received label identifies a storage location for the food item and generates traceability information for the food item. If the food item is not intended for storage, then the food item is transferred to a prep table and unique item information is generated for the food item. The food item can then be prepped for usage. During the prepping process, the food item's expiration date is verified, and a serial number is generated, and a use by date is calculated. If the prepped food item is to be served to a consumer, a label is generated with traceability information, and unneeded ingredients are re-purposed or properly disposed of.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: Jeanne Duckett, Michael Schaberl, Txus Carrion

Patent number: 11931994Abstract: A composite image heat transfer is disclosed for use on specific merchandising articles, sports jerseys, or other apparel for a specific sport. A scannable mark would be embedded in a heat transfer positioned on a sports jersey, such as a jersey number or a club crest. The scannable mark would be scanned by a user to provide stats, personal information, or other information about the corresponding sports team/club and/or individual athlete. The user can also register the scannable mark and follow the sports team/club and/or athlete on social media. Thus, the composite image heat transfer with embedded scannable mark would link each jersey number with information related to the corresponding player/athlete, and each club crest would be linked to information related to the corresponding club/team. This would enable a strong interaction through social media and other web tools between athletes and/or clubs and fans.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventor: Paulo J. De Castro

Patent number: 11915080Abstract: An adjustable and repositionable RFID inlay is described herein. The RFID inlay comprises: a) a substrate having a first side and a second side; b) an antenna at least partially disposed on the first side of the substrate, and c) an RFID chip at least partially disposed on the first side of the substrate; wherein a first adhesive is at least partially disposed on the RFID inlay; and wherein a second adhesive is at least partially disposed on the RFID inlay. The second adhesive is an activatable adhesive. Also described herein is a method of positioning an RFID inlay with a first adhesive and a second adhesive where the second adhesive is an activatable adhesive. The method may further comprise repositioning the RFID inlay prior to activating the second adhesive to at least partially affix the RFID inlay to the object.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventor: Mathieu De Backer

Patent number: 11900200Abstract: Dual-mode RFID devices are provided with an integrated dual-mode RFID strap including either a UHF/HF dual-mode RFID chip or the combination of a UHF RFID chip and an HF RFID chip. An HF antenna and a UHF antenna are both coupled to the integrated dual-mode RFID strap, with the UHF antenna being formed by an approach other than etching, such as a cutting or printing operation, thereby reducing the cost to manufacture the device. If a pair of chips is employed, one of the chips may have a greater thickness than the other chip, which allows for the thicker chip to be incorporated into the device after the thinner chip without requiring a minimum separation between the two chips due to the size of a thermode used to secure the chips. Additionally, the first chip may be tested before securing the second chip, thereby limiting the cost of a rejected device.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventor: Ian J. Forster

Patent number: 11893437Abstract: A RFID label for use on a lid of a container, and a method of using the RFID label. The RFID label comprises a substrate component, a RFID antenna formed on the substrate component, and a RFID chip for storing data coupled to the RFID antenna. The RFID label is positioned or configured on the lid so as to limit or avoid any interference between the RFID antenna and the RFID chip by any metal component of the container. The RFID label is particularly useful for containers that have small lids or metal components, such as vials, where conventional RFID usage is limited.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: Douglas Bourque, Brad Cumby

Patent number: 11886948Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag with a configurable anti-tamper structure includes an RFID chip electrically connected to a configurable anti-tamper structure. The configurable anti-tamper structure includes a plurality of conductive segments substantially oriented in a ladder configuration. At least some of the plurality of conductive segments are cut to leave a single conductive path in accordance to the desired tamper detection application, and the RFID tag is attached with the anti-tamper structure placed across a break point to be monitored for tampering. When tampering occurs, the conductive path is broken and the RFID chip changes the data sent in response to interrogation by an RFID reader.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventor: Ian J.
