Abstract: A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based identification device can comprise first and second RFID antennas. When first and second RFID antennas are in a first arrangement, the resonant frequencies of the antennas can be away from an interrogation frequency such that no identification information is transferred. When the first and second RFID antennas are in a second arrangement, the resonant frequency of the identification device shifts such that identification information, including biometric data, is transferred.

Abstract: An antenna web can include an RFID antenna on a first side of a substrate. An adhesive can be laminated on a second side of the substrate. The antenna web can then be cut into individual segments for use in constructing an RFID label.

Abstract: A tool tray can comprise a body with tool shaped recesses. A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag can be positioned in one of the recesses. The RFID tag can be such that when no tool is placed in the one of the recesses, the tag is not detectable at a reading distance; but, when a corresponding tool is placed into the one of the recesses, the RFID tag is detectable from a reading distance.

Abstract: A Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tag can be used to store a Hospitality Industry Organization ID of a customer. The RFID tag can be detected and then the Hospitality Industry Organization ID can be determined by using a device at a hospitality location to determine information about the customer to facilitate service for the consumer.

Abstract: A game can comprise a board with multiple RFID antennas and a game piece with a RFID antenna. When one of the multiple RFID antennas is adjacent to the RFID antenna in the game piece, the response characteristics of these RFID antennas can change so that the position of the game piece can be determined.

Abstract: A method of constructing an RFID unit can include using a protective layer to hold an integrated circuit chip module to a substrate layer with an antenna unit while a conductive adhesive has not yet fully set.

Abstract: A metalized circuit suitable for application as a radio frequency antenna is produced by forming an antenna coil pattern on a flexible substrate. The antenna coil pattern is formed using a conductive ink which is patterned on the substrate. The conductive ink is cured and an electrical-short layer is formed across the coils of the conductive ink pattern. An insulating layer is formed over top of the electrical-short layer, a metal layer electroplated on top of the conductive layer, and then the electrical-short layer is removed. The use of the electrical-short layer during the electroplating allows for the voltage at the different points on the conductive ink layer to be relatively similar, so that a uniform electroplate layer is formed on top of the conductive ink layer. This results in a better quality radio frequency antenna at a reduced cost.

Abstract: An RFID securitization piece can comprise a housing. An RFID tag in the housing can include an RFID chip and RFID antenna. The RFID securitization piece is attachable to an object such that when the RFID securitization piece is removed from the object the RFID tag is damaged. RFID interrogations will then indicate that the RFID securitization piece has been removed from the object.

Abstract: An RFID device can comprise a flexible substrate and an RFID tag formed on the flexible substrate. The flexible substrate can be folded over to encapsulate and protect the RFID tag.

Abstract: An RFID chip can have an RFID circuit having first and second initial bond pads and conductive paths on the RFID chip connecting the first and second bond pads to the different sides of the chip. The conductive paths including a first side connector on a first side of the chip electrically connected to the first bond pad and a second side connector on a second side of the chip connected to the second bond pad. The first and second side connectors can cover at least half of the first and second side length respectively.
