Various embodiments of a wirelessly detectable object to be used in medical procedures are provided. The object may include a piece of absorbent material, a transponder to wirelessly receive and transmit signals, and a cover. The cover is attached directly to the piece of absorbent material to retain the transponder. Methods of manufacturing wirelessly detectable objects are also provided.

Method and apparatus for OLED-based displays are provided. Methods may include receiving card identification from a contactless communications chip at an OLED-based foldable display. Methods may include receiving a handwritten signature at a pressure-sensitive portion on the display. Methods may include transmitting the card identification information to a secure entity hub. Methods may include receiving a packet from the secure entity hub. The packet may include the identification number, an acceptance of the handwritten signature and card blank information. Methods may include activating a card blank attached to the display with card blank information. Methods may include transmitting a second packet to the secure entity hub comprising the identification number and a message that the card blank has been activated.

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 transaction card construction and a method for making transaction cards provides increased security for transaction card magnetic strips. The transaction card construct on includes a card inlay and a clear card body. The card inlay is formed via a lamination press process with the magnetic strip attached to a back surface of the card inlay. The card body may have a window through which a data storage element may be exposed for accessing, such as by a magnetic stripe reader or EMV chip reader. The card body may be formed by adhering the card inlay to the clear card body.

A luggage tag comprises an indicator; a thin tag body including a radiofrequency (RF) receiver configured to receive an RF signal transmitted by an RF transmitter and a processor in communication with the RF receiver and the indicator, the processor being configured to acquire information from the RF signal that is received by the RF receiver and to turn on the indicator in response to the information acquired from the RF signal; and means for coupling the thin tag body of the luggage tag to luggage.

According to one embodiment, a polymer is provided for coupling to an RFID circuit, where the polymer is in the physical form of a planar material, and where the polymer has a resistivity of at least 1 Ω/sq.
