  • Patent number: 7049962
    Abstract: Materials and construction for a tamper indicating radio frequency identification (RFID) label are provided to permit the destruction of the label or its properties in the event of attempts to remove the label from a surface to which it has been applied. An adhesion modifying coating is applied to a label surface or portions thereof to affect the relative adhesion strengths between different layers or areas of the label. The adhesion modifying coating can be applied in selected patterns to achieve differential adhesion strengths and resulting differential separation of the label from a surface on which it has been applied.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2006
    Assignees: Micoh Corporation, Parlex Corporation

  • Publication number: 20010046562
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to a coating, which can be applied to one or both sides of a flexible resin film, including flexible printed circuits made therefrom, in order to impart acceptable flammability characteristics to the material. The coating has the properties of being: (1) acceptable from the standpoint of improving the flammability rating to the product, (2) amenable to high speed production, in that it has a relatively fast curing rate, (3) directly applicable to the surface of the product and, in order to simplify the manufacturing process, it does not require pretreatment of the surface, and (4) acceptable from an aesthetics / appearance standpoint.
