  • Environmentally Sensitive Electronic Device
    Publication number: 20090224883
    Abstract: An electronic device has at least one component that is coated with a material that is non-persistent if exposed to a specific environmental condition. If the coating is stripped off by the specific environmental condition, the previously coated component's function is altered, causing a functionality of the electronic device to be altered.

  • Tracking Genetically Modified Organisms with RFIDs
    Publication number: 20090224916
    Abstract: A Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is tracked using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. A bulk load of GMOs, which is intended for consumption by livestock only, is laced with RFID tags at or near a time of harvest. If the RFID tags appear in a product that is intended for human consumption, then the product is pulled from distribution, since it contains GMOs that are potentially harmful to humans if eaten.

  • Detection of Toxic Waste Using RFIDs
    Publication number: 20090224917
    Abstract: Toxic waste is laced with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. Subsequently, wherever the RFID tags are detected in an area, a conclusion is drawn that there is a presence, either past or present, of the toxic waste in the area.

  • Qualitative/Quantitative Analysis of a Material Using RFIDs
    Publication number: 20090224919
    Abstract: Unpackaged bulk material is made up of components that have been laced with RFID tags. By interrogating the RFID tags, the different components are identified and quantified, thus providing a quick assay of the bulk material.

  • Protective package and method therefor
    Patent number: 4030603
    Abstract: An improved method for packaging fragile or sensitive articles resulting in a package in a container which protects the articles during handling, shipping or storage. A heat treat-shrinkable wrapping provided with at least one air exit aperture covers a frame within which a fragile article is suspended. After heat treat-shrinking the wrapping, the package containing the fragile article and the frame is placed in a suitable shipping container of sufficient size to firmly hold the package therein.
