Abstract: A badge of the type comprising a substrate with a top side and a bottom side, an adhesive disposed on the bottom side for adhering the badge to a person, and a visually discernible material disposed on the top side for providing information, has a wireless device carrying first information secured directly or indirectly to said substrate. The visually discernible material comprises a first portion of visually discernible material and a second portion of visually discernible material. The first portion of visually discernible material is positioned, configured and dimensioned to communicate humanly perceptible and humanly readable second information. The second portion of visually discernible material carries third information encoded within the second portion of the visually discernible material and is positioned, configured and dimensioned to be scanned by an optical device in order to the read said third information encoded within the second portion of the visually discernible material.

Abstract: A frangible single-use cutaneous information device is printed on a support sheet captured by an adhesive layer and adhered to the skin by the adhesive layer. A skin safe contrasting printed dye is deposited onto a release paper layer allowing the dye construct to be released from the paper and applied to the skin. A clear coat layer can also be applied before or after the dyes are deposited on the paper to protect the outer layer. A single apparatus to be applied at point of service using variable data make such a device includes a means for receiving a perforated sheet, an electrostatic image forming and transferring device, a member for fusing the image to the perforated sheet, an adhesive applicator positioned to apply adhesive to the image, and a transport and joining structure that transports the perforated protective sheet and joins it to the perforated sheet at a position overlying the adhesive.

Abstract: Apparatus for identifying and providing for the retrieval of information relating to an individual, comprises an adhesive layer and a machine readable device secured to said adhesive layer. The machine readable device is encoded with identification information. A first quantity of ink deposited on said adhesive layer is arranged to provide a physiologically perceptible and humanly understandable visual indication of information relating to set individual. The adhesive layer, the machine readable device and said first quantity of ink form an individual identification device. The machine readable device is secured to said adhesive layer further comprises a second quantity of ink deposited on said adhesive layer and arranged to provide a machine readable image.
