  • Patent number: 6836215
    Abstract: An information band for mounting an electrically conductive circuit, such as a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag. The band comprises a base strip and a top strip. A single sheet of label stock can include a plurality of such bands such that the sheet can be passed through a conventional printer to accept printed indicia onto a surface of one or more bands. These bands can be die cut to facilitate individual removal. The top strip can be either integral with the base strip or a separate piece that can be affixed to a surface of the base strip. Once indicia has been printed to the band, the RFID tag may be manually affixed between the base strip and the top strip, where adhesive disposed therebetween secures the RFID tag. The adhesive may be peripherally deposited such that an adhesive-free zone is formed between the two layers so that when the RFID tag is attached, it does not come in contact with the adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20040114766
    Abstract: A method and system providing a secure system for purchasing goods or services from a gift provider over a network, such as the Internet, is disclosed. A gift giver purchases the goods or services for a gift recipient, wherein an encrypted key is generated for the transaction. Portions of the encrypted key are divided between the gift recipient and the gift giver, with a third party (e.g., the gift provider) holding the entire key and decryption tools. After delivery of a gift card to the gift recipient, communication between the gift giver and the gift recipient must be made to recombine the portions of the encrypted key. Upon submitting the complete key to the gift provider, the gift card is redeemed/activated giving it a monetary value or access to the goods and services.
