Patent number: 9747542Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Neology, Inc.Inventors: Paul Elizondo, John Azevedo

Patent number: 8451095Abstract: A multi-document read-write station provides the ability to read/write to a stack of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags within a small area. Specifically, the station provides the ability to read from and write to a tall stack of RFID tagged sheets with the RFID tags stacked one on top of the other. The station and capability described herein is the result of and comprises several components including a closed chamber comprising a document slot, an antenna system, and a power management system.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Neology, Inc.Inventors: John Azevedo, Rodolfo Monsalvo, Jun Liu

Patent number: 8334751Abstract: A RFID cabinet comprises a cabinet structure and one or more drawers or shelves. Chambers are formed within the cabinet to house the one or more drawers or shelves. An RFID scanner is configured to scan items tagged with RFID tags in the chambers via one or more antennas. The antennas can include transmit and receive antennas or antennas configured to perform both transmit and receive functions. The drawers can have a access cover, or lid that can be controlled so as to control access to the drawer. The scanner can be configured to perform inventory control for the tagged items.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Neology, Inc.Inventors: John Azevedo, Jeffrey Zhu, Eric Mikuteit, Jun Liu
