Abstract: A method includes reading data encoded on a tiny RFID tag that is embedded in an integrated circuit. The RFID tag has an area of 0.1 mm2 or less and, alternatively, of 0.05 mm2 or less. When the data satisfies predetermined criteria, a capability of a device or system is unlocked. The method may be used in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI) for identification and authentication, fraud detection, behavioral analysis, predictive analytics, and/or access control, for example. The method may also be used in credit and/or debit card transactions, in which the tiny RFID tag and integrated circuit are on a credit and/or debit card. In another embodiment, the RFID tag and IC are incorporated into a label. The label may optionally be on a good for sale.

Abstract: \A method of unlocking an operation of a Class III medical device suitable for use in treating, for example, COVID 19 in humans is presented. An integrated circuit is inserted or integrated into a medical device having an RFID reader, the medical device having a capability that is in a locked state. The integrated circuit has a first tiny RFID tag embedded therein. The RFID tag has an area of about 0.1 mm2 or less. The RFID tag is a largely digital tag that is implemented using portable digital IP blocks, the RFID tag utilizing dual-phase RF-only logic.
