  • Patent number: 7244332
    Abstract: The Invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a smart label web. The smart label web comprises smart labels placed one after another and/or side by side and comprising a circuitry pattern and an integrated circuit on a chip therein. In the method, an electrical contact is formed between the integrated circuit on a chip and the circuitry pattern of the smart label in the smart label web in such a way that a structural part separated from a separate carrier web and comprising an integrated circuit on a chip is attached to the smart label. The structural part contains a thermoplastic material whereby it is attached to the smart label.

  • Publication number: 20070105361
    Abstract: A method for forming a joint. A module is introduced including a paper or plastic substrate, an integrated circuit on a chip mounted on the substrate and in electrical contact with contact areas of the module being located on the surface of the substrate. A web is introduced including one circuitry pattern after another provided with contact areas of the circuitry pattern. Settable isotropically conductive adhesive is dispensed on the contact areas of the circuitry pattern. The contact areas of the module are attached to the contact areas of the circuitry pattern by the isotropically conductive adhesive. The isotropically conductive adhesive is cured at the ambient atmospheric pressure. Settable nonconductive adhesive is dispensed at the side of the module in such a manner that the adhesive is sucked underneath the module by capillary forces. The nonconductive adhesive is cured at the ambient atmospheric pressure.

  • Patent number: 7152803
    Abstract: The present invention relates to manufacture of a smart label web, the smart label web comprising smart labels one after another and/or side by side. The smart label web comprises also a circuitry pattern and an integrated circuit on a chip attached to it. In the method, an electric contact is formed between the integrated circuit on the chip and the circuitry pattern on the smart label of the smart label web in such a way that a structural part separated from a separate carrier web and containing the integrated circuit on the chip is electrically connected to the smart label by pressing mechanically. The structural part or the smart label comprises a thermoplastic film whereby the structural part is attached to the smart label substantially entirely.
