Patent number: 10248904Abstract: An RF tag that includes an inlay (made of an IC chip and an antenna); an auxiliary antenna laminated on the inlay in an insulated state; and a housing that houses the inlay having the auxiliary antenna laminated thereon. Furthermore, the antenna of the inlay forms a loop circuit adjacent to the IC chip, and the auxiliary antenna overlaps part of the loop circuit and is arranged along a longitudinal direction of the inlay such that at least a part of the antenna of the inlay is exposed.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: TOYO SEIKAN GROUP HOLDINGS, LTD.Inventors: Shinya Akamatsu, Hironaga Shimizu

Patent number: 9833964Abstract: Provided is a bag making apparatus with a simple configuration that: prevents fluctuations in tension, slippage of seal positions, and meandering or skewing of a web of film; allows the setting of precise initial conditions; reduces or makes unnecessary monitoring, and time and structures for adjustment; allows increased feed rate; and improves production efficiency. The bag making apparatus for packaging containers comprises: a tension control unit for controlling the continuous feed rate according to the values detected by a tension sensor of a tension detection roll; an optical detection unit for simultaneously recognizing multiple marks provided on the surface of the web of film at the respective positions thereof; a skewing correction unit; and a seal position correction unit for adjusting the positions of multiple sealing units in the feed direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2012Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: TOYO SEIKAN GROUP HOLDINGS, LTD.Inventors: Tadashi Endou, Masayuki Nakamura, Hironaga Shimizu, Hideki Yuge, Yuusuke Kuboki

Patent number: 9547817Abstract: An RF tag includes an inlay comprising an IC chip and an antenna, a planar auxiliary antenna laminated on the inlay in an insulating state to the inlay, and a substrate on which the inlay and the auxiliary antenna are laminated. The auxiliary antenna is formed into a rectangular planar shape including long sides each having a length of substantially ¼ of a wavelength of a radio wave frequency of the inlay, and has a cutout part which divides one of the long sides into two parts each having a length of substantially ? of the wavelength of the radio wave frequency of the inlay. The cutout part is formed into a concave shape which is opened in an edge portion of the one of the long sides and has a predetermined width and depth to allow the IC chip of the inlay to be disposed therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: TOYO SEIKAN GROUP HOLDINGS, LTD.Inventors: Shinya Akamatsu, Hironaga Shimizu, Takayuki Kikuchi

Patent number: 9477923Abstract: An RF tag has an inlay with an IC chip and an antenna, a planar auxiliary antenna laminated on the inlay in an insulating state, a dielectric constant regulation plate which becomes a base on which the inlay including the auxiliary antenna laminated thereon is mounted, and functions as a dielectric constant regulation layer for the mounted inlay, and a case which receives the dielectric constant regulation plate in a state where the inlay including the auxiliary antenna laminated thereon is mounted. The dielectric constant regulation plate is formed into a shape which allows the dielectric constant regulation plate to be attachably/detachably and non-movably engaged in the case and which allows the dielectric constant regulation plate to have a predetermined dielectric constant which regulates communication characteristics of the inlay including the auxiliary antenna laminated thereon.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: TOYO SEIKAN GROUP HOLDINGS, LTD.Inventors: Hironaga Shimizu, Shinya Akamatsu, Takayuki Kikuchi
