  • INTEGRATED RFID TAG IN A CARD HOLDER, CAGE, LID, AND RACK FOR USE WITH INVENTORYING AND TRACKING OF CAGE OCCUPANTS AND EQUIPMENT
    Publication number: 20120193415
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated RFID card holder, cage, lid or rack and system for collecting census, inventorying, and tracking of animal cages, lids, card holders, racks, and other related equipment. Preferably, the card holder is comprised of an RF transparent material such as plastic. During operation, a RFID reader reads each integrated RFID card holder attached to an animal cage for virtually linking the cage to an animal rack in effect assigning a parking spot to each animal cage within an animal cage rack system. The integrated RFID card holder can be determined to be in a room when the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is the highest comparing multiple reads from one or many antennas.
