In one embodiment, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag including a substrate having a top surface, bottom surface, opposed end surfaces, and opposed lateral surfaces, a passive RFID integrated circuit (IC) chip mounted to the top surface of the substrate, a monopole antenna that includes a planar radiating arm that extends out from the RFID IC chip along the top surface of the substrate and a matching loop having two grounded matching stubs that surround the chip and a portion of the radiating arm, and a ground plane formed on the bottom surface, an end surface, and the top surface of the substrate, the ground plane being electrically coupled to the matching stubs and the radiating arm.

A transaction card may power on the transaction card using electric current induced from an interaction of the transaction card with an electromagnetic field. The transaction card may establish a communication with a device. The communication may indicate that the transaction card has powered. The transaction card may receive, from the device, a set of instructions to configure a set of applets on the transaction card after notifying the device that the transaction card has powered on. The set of applets to be configured may be related to completing one or more different transactions. The set of applets to be configured may be different than another set of applets already configured on the transaction card. The transaction card may configure the set of applets on the transaction card according to the set of instructions after receiving the set of instructions.

In some implementations, a system may receive door position information that indicates a position of a door of a room. The system may receive, in association with a read operation of an RFID reader, first tag information associated with a first RFID tag, wherein the first tag information is received via a first antenna of the RFID reader, and wherein the RFID reader is disposed within the room and a first directional range of the first antenna is directed toward the door. The system may determine, based on the first tag information being received via the first antenna, a location status of the first RFID tag according to the door position information. The system may perform, based on the location status, an action associated with indicating a location of the first RFID tag.

Implantable transponders comprising no ferromagnetic parts for use in medical implants are disclosed herein. Such transponders may assist in preventing interference of transponders with medical imaging technologies. Such transponders may optionally be of a small size, and may assist in collecting and transmitting data and information regarding implanted medical devices. Methods of using such transponders, readers for detecting such transponders, and methods for using such readers are also described.

A tip cap assembly for coupling with a syringe body includes a luer lock adaptor, a rigid cap coupled to the luer lock adaptor; a rigid tip cap having distal end and proximal ends, the rigid tip cap being disposed at least partially within the rigid cap, a RFID tag positioned over the distal end of the tip cap, and an adhesive layer formed over the RFID tag. Also provided is RFID inlay for use with medical devices including a meshed substrate, and a RFID antenna and integrated circuit assembly adhered to the meshed substrate. A syringe and label assembly is disclosed, including a body having distal and proximal ends, a tip cap assembly having distal end and proximal ends, and a label at least partially surrounding the distal end of the syringe body and the proximal end of the tip cap, the label comprises an integrated RFID tag.

Provided are approaches for removing a chip of a transaction card using a chip removal element. In some approaches, the transaction card may include a body including a first main side opposite a second main side, a chip coupled to the first main side of the body, and a chip removal element disposed between the chip and the body. A first end of the chip removal element may be positioned within a tab recess along the first main side of the body, wherein the chip removal element is operable to decouple the chip from the body when the chip removal element is moved away from the body.

Near Field Communication (NFC) chips or tags are securely activated where at least one validation or redemption number is assigned to the chip or tag at the time of activation. Subsequent to activation, the NFC chip or tag enables secure data access via an Ancillary Device. Validation or redemption of the NFC chip or tag is also provided for.

The challenge of the present invention is to be able to use a large number of code generation apparatuses and to be able to identify each one.

In the apparatus, a plurality of electrodes detected by a change in a physical quantity detected by a touch panel by bringing it into contact with or by substantially into contact with the touch panel connected to a first information processing apparatus is arranged on a bottom surface of a housing, and the apparatus comprises a communication processing unit that is equipped with a housing formed of a conductive member connected to the plurality of electrodes and that enters a connected state based on at least a part of an electrode code with the first information processing apparatus that recognizes the electrode code formed based on electrodes detected by the touch panel among the plurality of electrodes.

The present disclosure relates to a wearable radio device for access control. The radio device has an inside portion and an outside portion. The inside portion includes a first transponder and a second transponder. A first barrier is located between the first transponder and the second transponder. A second barrier is located between the first transponder and the second transponder in an outside portion of the wearable device.
