Abstract: The present disclosure provides example device covers implementing differential adhesive systems allowing for clean removal of the cover after a prolonged dwell period. An example device cover comprises a bore section, a first drape section extending from a first end of the bore section, and a second drape section extending from a second end of the bore section. A first edge of the first drape section may extend from the first end of the bore section at approximately a 50° angle, a second edge of the first drape section may extend from the first end of the bore section at approximately a 130° angle. The first drape section and second drape section may be symmetrical with respect to each other. The device cover may further comprise one or more adhesive tabs, each comprising an intermediary body with a first acrylic adhesive layer and an opposite second rubber adhesive layer.

Abstract: A self-expiring band structure is activated upon the contacting of two chemical constituents together. This contacting may be performed by the attachment action of the band or independently thereof. After a time duration has passed, the coaction of the chemical constituents result in a visually perceptible change can alert others to the fact the band has expired. These bands may be both printable, such as by a printer or other machine printing, as well as time-expiring making them a very versatile product that offer heightened security at the price point closer to that of a disposable item because they do not require complex infrastructure for validation.

Abstract: Systems and methods include tamper-evident indicators applied to a band comprising a strap that forms a closed loop. Tamper-evident sections of the indicators provide increased security against accidental and intentional removal of the indicators. Indicators are provided with adhesives and bare areas devoid of adhesive allowing easy and secure application of indicators to bands while they are being worn and with greater ease. Indicators can be further provided with liners protecting the adhesives allowing the indicators to be easily applied by gloved hands, reducing contamination risks. Contamination and wear risks can be further reduced by supplying indicators with antimicrobial surfaces and overprint varnishing.

Abstract: A clasp assembly includes a pair of identical half sections configured to be coupled to one another. Each half section comprises one or more deformable features that are designed to deform during closure to create an interlocking engagement between each half section.

Abstract: A wearable radio frequency identification (RFID) includes a band that forms a loop and a flag that projects outwardly from the loop which includes an RFID transponder. By virtue of being part of the flag, the RFID transponder is spatially separated from a radially-outward facing surface of the loop and thereby also apart from a user wearing the device. This provides improved read ranges of the RFID transponder when used with an energy absorbing or conductive object.

Abstract: A badge reel device is attachable to a user via a lanyard or an attachment clip. The badge reel device includes a housing, a retractable cord partially disposed within the internal volume of the housing and extending through the aperture of the housing for attachment to a badge, an attachment clip on the housing (with the attachment clip being configured for attachment to the user to wear the badge reel device in a first wearing mode), and a lanyard attachment structure on the housing (with the lanyard attachment structure being configured for attachment to a lanyard, for the user to wear the badge reel device in a second wearing mode).

Abstract: The present disclosure describes various example multi-layer printing sheets, and systems and methods for manufacturing the same. An example printing sheet comprises: a die-cut or perforated printable film portion; an adhesive layer; a clear ink layer; and a bottom layer. The printable film portion may be die-cut or perforated to form a band shape. A release layer may be placed between the adhesive layer and the bottom layer or the adhesive layer and the clear ink layer. A portion of the printing sheet may include a die cut printable paper portion; the printable paper portion comprises a printable paper layer includes one or more labels die cut into it; and the printable paper layer is connected to the bottom layer via an adhesive. A release may be placed between the adhesive layer and the bottom layer of the printable paper portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides example differential adhesive systems, which may be used with various device covers. An example differential adhesive comprises an intermediary body having a first side and an opposite second side, a first adhesive layer attached to the first side, and a second adhesive layer attached to the second side. The first adhesive layer comprises an acrylic adhesive, and the second adhesive layer comprises a rubber adhesive secured to the plastic article. In some embodiments, the intermediary body comprises a polyester film. The acrylic adhesive of the first adhesive layer may comprise a cross-linked pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive and include a peel adhesion of approximately 40 ounces per inch to approximately 60 ounces per inch. The first adhesive layer is may be configured for releasable attachment to the surface of the first object. The second adhesive layer may be configured for permanent attachment to the plastic article.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes various systems and methods for object tracking and locating. An example method includes: receiving, from a first mobile device, a first input identifying a first location inside an establishment; receiving, from the first mobile device, a second RFID scan of an RFID tag affixed to a second mobile object; creating, in accordance with the first scan and the second RFID scan, a database relationship that identifies the second mobile object as being located at the first location inside the establishment; and storing the database relationship at a computer server system. The first input may include a first scan of a first tag affixed to the first location inside the establishment. The first scan may include an optical scan, and the first tag includes an encoded image.
