  • Publication number: 20240313781
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe connecting an ASIC to another integrated circuit (or die) using inter-die connections. In one embodiment, an ASIC includes a fabric sliver (e.g., a small region of programmable logic circuitry). Inter-die fabric extension connections are used to connect the fabric sliver in the ASIC to fabric (e.g., programmable logic) in the other integrated circuit. These connections effectively extend the fabric in the ASIC to include the fabric in the other integrated circuit. Hardened IP blocks in the ASIC can then use the fabric sliver and the inter-die extension connections to access computer resources in the other integrated circuit.

  • Patent number: 11410007
    Abstract: Durable fabric RFID labels are provided for mounting on garments, fabrics and other fabric-containing items, the mounting and durability being before, during or after manufacturing and processing of the items. These labels are robust enough to withstand processing during manufacturing, while being capable of remaining on the item during inventory handling, merchandising and consumer use, including washing and drying. The durable labels include an RFID inlay, a face sheet overlying a first face of the RFID inlay, and a functional adhesive, such as a hot-melt adhesive, overlying a second face of the RFID inlay. The face sheet can be of printable material or have indicia or be a printed face sheet. The functional adhesive can be of a moisture-resistive type. The RFID inlay can be encased within a pocket of polymeric material. A polymeric sheet reinforcement layer can be adhered to and cover all or a portion of the RFID inlay.

  • Publication number: 20190392272
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for printing and encoding RFID products may be disclosed. The method, system, and apparatus can include a printer which can read and program an RFID device contained in a label, tag, or any other desired product, and also print onto the product without damaging the RFID device. The method, system, and apparatus can further include a quality control system. In some exemplary embodiments, the products can be arranged into sheets or rolls, and multiple products can be printed or encoded at the same time or substantially simultaneously. In some exemplary embodiments, reader and antenna configurations can allow the encoding to occur in line, so that printing, encoding, variable data imaging, and finishing can all be completed in one continuous process.
