  • Patent number: 11790193
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags for liquid monitoring. An example RFID tag includes an antenna configured to communicate with an RFID reader. The antenna includes a radiating plane. The antenna also includes a ground plane. The RFID tag is attachable to a container. A reactance associated with the antenna is modifiable based on a temperature and a volume of a liquid within the container and adjacent to the ground plane. The RFID tag also includes an integrated circuit that includes a memory. The integrated circuit is configured to modulate the antenna in response to an RFID signal from the RFID reader based on the reactance associated with the antenna.

  • Patent number: 11562196
    Abstract: Described examples relate to a radio frequency identification (RFID) device configured to be coupled to a surface of an object. The RFID device may include a housing having a first casing and a second casing. The RFID device may also include an RFID tag disposed between the first casing and the second casing. The RFID tag may comprises an antenna and an integrated circuit coupled to the antenna. Further, the RFID device may include a first break-line defined in the first casing and extending between an inner edge and an outer edge of the first casing. The first casing may be breakable along the first break-line. In addition, the RFID device may include a second break-line defined in the second casing and extending between an inner edge and an outer edge of the second casing. The second casing may be breakable along the second break-line.
