Abstract: A radio frequency IC tag is provided which is excellent in weatherability, dustproofness, waterproofness, and static protection and capable of making a communication distance long even though each antenna section is made small in configuration. A first antenna equipped with an IC chip is formed on an upper surface of a first spacer. A second antenna is formed on a lower surface of a top cover. A second spacer is shaped in hollow form. The first spacer and the top cover are disposed on both sides of the second spacer with the first antenna and the second antenna being opposite to each other. Each of the first spacer, the second spacer and the top cover is formed of a synthetic resin. Thus, the IC chip and each antenna section are not exposed to the outside and hence weatherability is enhanced.

Abstract: A system, method, and program product that identifies radio frequency identifier (RFID) tags destined for another RFID reader without the need for physically shielding the RFID readers from one another is provided. RFID tags affixed to pallets and goods being received are read by an RFID reader at a first portal. The tags that are read are compared with expected tag information that is included in a manifest sent from the shipper to the receiver. When cross-reads occur, RFID tags are read by other RFID readers. Based on comparing the RFID tags that are received with the manifest, the system determines whether the RFID tags are being unloaded at a different portal (e.g., at a nearby loading dock). When such items are identified, the first portal transmits the RFID tag information to the other portal(s).
