A closure element for closing a container, comprises an inner cap member to be coupled with a mouth of the container; an outer cap member rotatably coupled to the inner cap member, and a transponder housed between the inner cap member and the outer cap member. the transponder comprises a chip, an antenna, and a control loop. The chip is attached to one of a top wall of the inner cap member and a top wall of the outer cap member and at least a portion of the control loop is attached to the other of a top wall of the inner cap member and a top wall of the outer cap member, in such a way that a relative rotation of outer cap member and the inner cap member determines a torsion or shear force to act on the control loop to break it.

An identification element (50) for a shank tool has an elastic inner ring (10) and an outer ring (20) arranged around the inner ring (10), said outer ring having a recess formed annularly in the outer ring. An RFID transponder is arranged in the recess. The inner ring (10) of the identification element (50) encloses a shank of the shank tool.

A contactless communication medium according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an IC module, a first member, a second member, and a print layer. The IC module is capable of performing a contactless communication. The first member is made of a first transparent resin material, the first member including a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being a surface in which a concave portion that accommodates therein the IC module is formed, the second surface being situated opposite to the first surface. The second member is made of a second transparent resin material, the second member being connected to the first surface or the second surface. The print layer is arranged between the first member and the second member.

The invention relates to a chip card with a dual, contactless and contact-based communication interface, comprising a card body made up of two metal sheets and an electronic module provided with a terminal block and an antenna designed for radio-frequency communication with the antenna of a remote reader. The electronic module includes an active communication circuit powered by a battery in the chip card, and configured to generate a carrier signal capable of interacting with the carrier signal emitted by a remote contactless reader in order to establish active radio-frequency communication between the chip card and the remote reader.

A bonded abrasive wheel is disclosed comprising a plurality of abrasive particles disposed in a binder, a first grinding surface, a second surface opposing the first grinding surface, and an outer circumference. The wheel comprises a rotational axis extending through a central hub and a circuit configured as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) unit coupled to the abrasive wheel. The circuit comprises an antenna configured to communicate with one or more external devices and comprising a first end and a second end, wherein antenna has a radius of curvature about an axis along at least a portion thereof such that the first end is disposed adjacent to but is spaced from the second end, and an integrated circuit (IC) operably coupled to the antenna and configured to store at least a first data.

A greeting card having a scannable code with a unique identifier representative of a unique location on a computer network with the unique location having a first response with a first set of data. The scannable code can be scanned, a first time, to display a first response having a first set of data. The first response can be replaced by a second response having a second set of data.

A cable-tie carrier is disclosed herein that includes a chip holder with a recess cavity for holding an electronic chip and a cable that is removably attached to the chip holder. The electronic chip stores identification information or testing data that may be used to identify and track the part. External computing devices (e.g., smart phone, tablet, scanner) may access the stored identification information or testing data for a user. The electronic chip is fastened, magnetically attached, or stuck with adhesive to the chip holder to position a transmitter (or antenna) to face out of the recess cavity.

When an unfair gaming currency is delivered to a dealer from a player, the currency is detected as unfair. The inspection system for inspecting the gaming currency, in which an RF tag is built, comprises: a gaming currency tray for housing the gaming currencies of the dealer in a casino game; an RF reader for reading the RF tags of the plural gaming currencies housed in the gaming currency tray; plural photosensors for detecting at least the number of the plural gaming currencies housed in the gaming currency tray at a constant time interval or always in a method other than RFID; and an inspection/alarm part for generating alarms when the number of the gaming currencies whose RF tags are read by the RF reader is not equal to the number of the gaming currencies detected by the plural photosensors.

A management system includes a recording device recording an image of a gaming chip and an inspection device determining a type and authenticity of the gaming chip. The gaming chip has a multilayer structure in which both sides of a colored layer are sandwiched between light color layers, surface printing representing a type of the gaming chip is performed on outer sides of the light color layers, and an authenticity recognition mark is printed on the colored layer of an inside of the light color layers by an infrared absorbing material. A visible light camera photographs a visible light image of the surface printing, and an infrared light camera photographs an infrared image of the internal printing. The inspection device determines the type and authenticity of the gaming chip using the visible light image and the infrared image.
