Patent number: 11928538Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for laser turning and attaching RFID tags to products. Such methods and systems may include a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The methods and systems may include determining a characteristic of a conductive trace on a substrate to be incorporated into an item to configure a tag performance in view of at least one of a dielectric property or a tuning property of the item. The methods and systems may further include a laser to alter the conductive trace on the substrate to have the characteristic to define an antenna for the tag. The methods and systems may further include an attaching device configured to attach a communications enabled device to the substrate so as to form an electrical connection between the communications enabled device and the antenna to form the tag.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Steve E. Trivelpiece, Adam S. Bergman, Amin Shahidi, George H. West, Bjoern Petersen, João Vilaça, Gopal Chandramowle, Carlos Gomez Garcia, Melwyn F. Sequeira

Patent number: 11861440Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating tags with items. The methods comprise: dynamically determining a length of each metal thread to be incorporated into or trace to be disposed on a item to optimize tag performance in view of dielectric and tuning properties of the item. In the metal thread scenarios, the methods also involve: creating a metal thread having the length that was dynamically determined; and sewing the metal thread into the item being produced to form an antenna for a first tag. In the trace scenarios, the methods also involve forming the trace on the item being produced to form an antenna for a first tag. Next, at least a communications enabled device is attached to the item so as to form an electrical coupling or connection between the communications enabled device and the at least one antenna.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Steve E. Trivelpiece, Bjoern Petersen, Adam S. Bergman, João Vilaça, Gopal Chandramowle, Carlos Gomez Garcia, Melwyn Sequeira

Patent number: 11755874Abstract: A method for configuring a sensor tag includes placing the sensor tag in a location on a garment or fabric to be affixed. The method may further include applying a heat source at a temperature to the sensor tag for a time period. The method may further include removing the heat source after the time period has elapsed. The method may further include removing a paper layer between an adhesive layer and the garment of fabric prior to placing the sensor taking in the location. The method may further include removing a top protective layer after removing the heat source.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: SENSORMATIC ELECTRONICS, LLCInventors: Carlos Gomez Garcia, David Torrecilla, Olivier B. Sommer, Steven E. Trivelpiece, George H. West, Fernando Pereira Mosqueira

Patent number: 11354559Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating tags with items. The methods comprise: turning a reel by an amount that allows a portion of an elongate narrow substrate that includes a first tag of a plurality of tags to be paid out (where each of the plurality of tags comprises at least one antenna formed of a trace or wire disposed on the elongate narrow substrate and a communication enabled device coupled to the elongate narrow substrate so as to have an electrical coupling or connection with the at least one antenna); dynamically tuning the first tag to optimize tag performance in view of dielectric and tuning properties of a first item being fabricated; cutting the elongate narrow substrate so as to cause the first tag to be placed on the first item being fabricated; and coupling the first tag to the item being fabricated.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics LLCInventors: Steve E.
