  • Patent number: 8149121
    Abstract: The present invention is aimed at providing a wireless identification tag which can save information with high reliability that is free from the possibility of being lost or falsified, is not broken or melt in the concrete, can expand directionality of an antenna, be distributed in a cement product to be in an appropriate condition for radio communication, and has good adhesion and affinity with cement or the like. A wireless identification tag 1 mixed in a cement product in the manufacturing procedure thereof in which cement, an aggregate, water, or the like are mixed including a protection body 2 incorporating the wireless identification tag 1 having an antenna portion which can write/read information by radio communication, wherein a concave portion 3 is provided on the surface of the protection body.

  • Publication number: 20080191840
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a tire which can record and read data per tire including type, serial number, specification, manufacture date, and use history at each step of manufacture, distribution and maintenance. The tire 1 comprises a first wireless IC tag 3 provided inside the tire and can write/read information by radio communication, and a second wireless IC tag 4 which can write information at the steps of manufacturing the tire and distributing the tire by radio communication and read this written information by radio communication and which is traceable for manufacture control and distribution control, a tire condition detecting sensor 5 also provided inside the tire and detecting at least one among temperature, rotation, oscillation, stress and pressure which are applied to the tire, and a control section 6 provided inside the carcass structure 2 of the tire and sending the data detected by the tire condition detecting sensor to the first wireless IC tag 3 for recording.

  • Publication number: 20080067228
    Abstract: A quality control system of concrete and cement products is provided in which the manufacturing information on cement products of mortar or concrete can be checked at any time, the reliability is so high that there is no possibility of the recorded information being lost or falsified, there is no possibility of damage in concrete, and the directivity of the sensitivity of an antenna can be broadened. A quality control system of concrete and cement products writes into a wireless IC tag 1 equipped with an antenna section mixed in the manufacturing process of cement products kneading with cement, aggregate and water and measures the characteristic value, and an IC tag writer 7 coupled to the automatic measuring device automatically writes the characteristic value of the products measured by the automatic measuring device and the manufacturing information consisting of the dates of manufacture.
