Abstract: A radio frequency identification (“RFID”) application system for use with an RFID system adapted to apply an RFID tag to a product and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the RFID application system includes a printer applicator controller configured to manage an operation of a printer applicator of the RFID system. The RFID application system also includes a compliance manager configured to coordinate RFID compliance data to derive a unique identification number for the RFID tag. The RFID application system still further includes an event manager configured to coordinate an operation of the printer applicator controller to facilitate proper placement of the RFID tag on the product.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification (“RFID”) reader, system and object, and methods of operating and manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the RFID object includes a container having an interior wall, an exterior wall and a cavity therebetween. The RFID object also includes an RFID tag located within the cavity. In another embodiment, the RFID object includes a container having an interior wall and an exterior wall. The RFID object also includes a first RFID tag attached to the interior wall, and a second RFID tag attached to the exterior wall.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification (“RFID”) system and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the RFID system includes a reader configured to transmit a command including a parameter profile of a product. The RFID system also includes a sensor tag configured to sense raw data associated with the product, process the raw data to create processed data as a function of the parameter profile and provide the processed data to the reader.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, system and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the RFID reader includes a transmitter/receiver configured to detect a signal representing an RFID tag and a processor configured to compare a delta index from the signal to a threshold to determine when the RFID tag is moving. In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of operating an RFID tag including detecting a signal representing an RFID tag and comparing a delta index from the signal to a threshold to determine when the RFID tag is moving.
