Patents by Inventor Elies Ennabli

Elies Ennabli has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230019696
    Abstract: An RFID assembly that includes both a UHF patch antenna and an HF or LF loop antenna is provided. The patch antenna and the loop antenna are arranged inside a housing in such a manner that the loop antenna partially overlaps an end portion of the patch antenna, thereby forming an extension of the patch antenna. In this manner, a performance of the UHF patch antenna can be maintained despite decreasing the size of the same, while an interference between the patch antenna and the loop antenna can be suppressed, in particular, by providing a gap between the same.

  • Patent number: 11030511
    Abstract: A device for holding a radio frequency identification (RFID) device and securing the RFID device to another object, particularly an object having a curved or irregular shaped surface. The device includes multiple locking plates that interleave or overlap within slots formed in the base of a container holding an RFID device. One of more locking members integral with the locking plates assist in securing one locking plate to another and resist separating the locking plates once installed. Flanges or extensions extend outside of the base and provide structure to secure the device to an object to be identified.

  • Patent number: 10824930
    Abstract: An RFID tag to be used, for example, for tagging livestock. The RFID tag has a high resistance to mechanical and thermal stress due to a physical separation of a main antenna and an integrated circuit forming an RFID circuit. The RFID tag may comprise an inlay with the main antenna and a chip module with the integrated circuit and a loop antenna inductively coupled to the main antenna. The inlay and the chip module are safely embedded in a tag housing. The compact chip module with electrical connections between the loop antenna and the integrated circuit can be reliably protected.

  • Patent number: 10296821
    Abstract: An RFID device includes a substrate and an antenna. The antenna includes a first antenna section on a first side of the substrate and a second antenna section on the first side of the substrate and separated from the first antenna section by a non-conductive part of the substrate. The first antenna section includes a first plurality of vias that extend through the substrate from the first side of the substrate to a second side of the substrate. The antenna includes a third antenna section on at least the second side of the substrate to electrically connect conductive portions of the first plurality of vias to the second antenna section. The RFID device includes a circuit on the substrate and to process signals of the antenna.

  • Patent number: 10176422
    Abstract: The RFID tag comprises an antenna (11) connected to a wireless communication device (18). The antenna comprises a conductive planar surface and a slot (14) extending at least in a part of said conductive planar surface, the slot (14) forming a non-conductive area of the antenna and defining a first part (12) and a second part (13) of the antenna. The wireless communication device comprises two contact pads (16, 17) being electrically connected respectively each to one of the first and second part of the antenna. The slot comprises a closed end formed by a further conductive part connecting said first and second parts the antenna and further comprises at least one conductive bridge (19-19??, 20, 21-21?) connecting said first and second parts of the antenna, the conductive bridge allowing to tune the resonance frequency of the tag by varying the length of the electrical path between the pads from the wireless communication device in the antenna.

  • Patent number: 9159015
    Abstract: A flexible Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag comprises a flexible substrate layer on which is fixed an antenna connected to a RFID chip, and a second flexible layer placed directly over the said chip and antenna but without any direct mechanical connection to them, such that the substrate layer and the second layer form a protective inlay for the chip and the antenna. The said inlay is embedded in a flexible housing.
