  • Systems, methods, and apparatus for RFID tag detection
    Patent number: 8384521
    Abstract: A system for tracking objects that include radio frequency identification (RFID) tags associated therewith. The system including a structure substantially defining an enclosure, a reflective interior of the enclosure configured for the reflection of radio signals, at least one conveyor belt that transports the objects through the structure, at least one RFID reader panel inside the structure, wherein the at least one RFID reader panel transmits a radio signal into the interior of the structure such that the radio signal will reflect off of the interior of the structure to increase a probability that the RFID tags associated with the objects that enter the structure are read, and an operator terminal that receives and stores information regarding read RFID tags from the at least one reader panel.

  • Method and apparatus to assist with removing an adhesive system
    Publication number: 20060162855
    Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive system that allows for a strong adhesion of a member to a surface, while also allowing for easy removal of the member after a prolonged period of attachment. A releasing agent can be included in an adhesive layer of the adhesive system. A heating system, such as an induction heating system, can be used to heat the releasing agent to activate it to assist in removing the adhesive system.
