Patent number: 10244986Abstract: Wireless sensor patches include a skin-friendly adhesive and a flexible cover patch. In further examples, methods of manufacturing a plurality of wireless sensor patches include the step (I) of unwinding a flexible support membrane from a support membrane storage roll along an assembly path. The flexible support membrane is provided with a skin adhesive configured to mount a first face of the flexible support membrane to a skin surface. The method further comprises the step (II) of sequentially mounting a plurality of sensor devices with respect to a second face of the flexible support membrane along a longitudinal axis of the assembly path. The method further includes the step (III) of sequentially separating the flexible support membrane to provide the plurality of wireless sensor patches, wherein each wireless sensor patch includes a corresponding one of the plurality of sensor devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: James W. Adams, Edward A. Armijo, Ryan Hruska, Michael R. Onderisin, David Silvestro

Patent number: 9569714Abstract: A system and method is described for an automated RFID quality control process. The method may include configuring an RFID manufacturing press with quality control specifications, manufacturing a batch of RFID inlays, executing a performance test on each RFID inlay, comparing the results of the performance test to the quality control specifications, and determining a pass or fail status for the batch of RFID inlays based on the results of the performance test. The system may include an RFID manufacturing press having at least one lane, at least one interrogator antenna, and programmable control logic for the RFID manufacturing press, wherein the programmable control logic is adapted to execute a performance test on each RFID relay of a batch of RFID relays output by the manufacturing press, compare the results of the performance test to user-configurable quality control specifications, and determine whether the batch of RFID relays meets the specifications.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2011Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: AVERY DENNISON RETAIL INFORMATION SERVICES, LLCInventors: Chris Marcus, Edward A.

Patent number: 7874493Abstract: A method of making RFID devices includes feeding in an interposer web or sheet at a variable (non-constant) speed, cutting single interposers from the interposer web or sheet, and using a rotary transport device to transport the singulated (cut) interposers to an antenna web. The interposers are transferred from the rotary transport device and are attached to the antenna web, being operatively coupled to antennas on the antenna web. The interposers each include an RFID transponder chip and conductive leads. A feeder is used to advance the interposer web or sheet into a cutting zone between the rotary cutter and the rotary transport device. The rotary cutting device may be capable of singulating multiple interposers at one time, and the system may be capable of thus being able to remove interposers that are not to be joined to the antenna web.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Edward A. Armijo, John F. Hughen, Steven C. Kennedy, Samuel A. Linder, Jason D. Munn
