  • Patent number: 8587137
    Abstract: This invention provides an electricity generation device capable of generating electricity using kinetic energy generated by spontaneous behavior of an animal. The device includes a mechano-electric conversion mechanism that converts a displacement of a body part where the animal spontaneously moves (for example, a mouth) into an electric energy. For example, the mechano-electric conversion mechanism can have an arrangement for converting the displacement of the body part into rotation by a combination of a rack and a gear and rotating the rotor of a dynamo or an alternator.

  • Patent number: 8111142
    Abstract: A non-contact ID tag writing apparatus capable of applying high-speed writing to a non-contact ID tag is realized. With a plurality of antennas (221 to 223) arranged along the direction in which tags (11) are transported, one antenna applies writing to one of the tags while the tags pass through the coverage area of the antenna. The antennas apply the writing to the respective tags different from one another, whereby the writing can be applied to all the tags in a row.

  • Patent number: 7868765
    Abstract: A display label, having a display section on a surface thereof and an adhesive surface on a back surface thereof, and an IC tag, provided with an antenna coil and an IC chip so as to transmit information through non-contact communication, are prepared. After writing information on the IC chip, reading test is applied, so as to separate non-defective ID tags and defective ID tags. After printing addition display on the surface of the display label, a non-defective ID tag is adhered on an adhesive surface thereof, so as to form an RFID label. Then the RFID label is affixed to an object-to-affix such as a container. An affixing method of an RFID label and its affixing method are provided, wherein an ID tag is less likely to be damaged, since the ID tag is not adhered on a display label while printing additional display.

  • Patent number: 7573390
    Abstract: A split-able label 10 of the present invention is configured as having an adhesive layer 2 on a back surface 1b of a label base 1, having a plurality of sections, being split-able over a boundary 1c of a first section 11 and a second section 12 when affixed to an object A, and being provided with an ID tag 3 comprising an IC chip 31 storing information of the object A and a transmitter-receivers 32 transmitting the information from and to a external device R, on one of, or both of the first section 11 and the second section 12. It is aimed to provide the split-able label capable of storing a large amount of detailed information, and being split and affixed respectively depending on uses, by the above configuration.

  • Patent number: 7256738
    Abstract: A resonant circuit having a circuit coil formed on each surface of a dielectric film. Each coil has a line-width and an outer periphery in which the line-width of each circuit is 1/50 or more of the length of the outermost periphery of that circuit. Each coil has at least three complete turns, and the coils are provided on the faces of a dielectric film in such a manner that the coils are faced to each other.

  • Publication number: 20040025324
    Abstract: A process for producing a resonant tag, wherein a metal foil having a thermal adhesion adhesive applied to at least one face thereof is stamped out into a circuit-like shape and is adhered to a base sheet, the process comprising: stamping out the metal foil into a predetermined shaped metal foil portion (4c) while being passed through a die roll (1) having thereon a stamping blade with a predetermined shape and a transfer roll (2) in contact with the die roll (1) which functions also as a die back-up roll; holding this metal foil portion obtained by the stamping-out operation onto the surface of the transfer roll by suction holes formed in the transfer roll; and thermally adhering the stamped metal foil portion to the base sheet (7) in contact with the transfer roll (2) at its another face by an adhesive roll (3) in contact with the transfer roll through the base sheet.
