Abstract: A bandage system lances a skin tag from a person's body and thereafter projects the wound created. The system has a base layer that is adhesively attached to the person such that the skin tag passes through an opening of the base layer. A cutter is located atop the base layer and uses a pair of blades that are squeezed together to cut the skin tag protruding through the opening. After cutting, a protective layer is adhered to the base layer such that a medicine laden absorbent pad on the protective layer overlays the opening on the base layer absorbing any blood from the wound and applying the medicine to the wound. Thereafter, the system is worn as a typical bandage.

Abstract: The present invention disclosed a radio-frequency identification (RFID) device. The RFID device comprises a protective body and a RFID circuit unit located inside the protective body. The RFID circuit unit comprises a printed circuit board (PCB), a RFID chip and an antenna disposed thereon. A front surface of the PCB faces a top surface of the protective body; a rear surface of the PCB faces a bottom surface of the protective body.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for a wireless communication tag. The tag is configured to uniquely identify an account associated with the user for granting the user access to a first access-controlled service controlled by a first authority and a second access-controlled service controlled by a second authority.
