A flexible circuitry layer may comprise a conductive mesh including a circuitry trace; and an interfacing component, comprising: a flexible substrate; a terminal electrically connected to the circuitry trace; and a connector configured to be detachably connected to an external device.

An interaction badge is provided that can be reconfigured as necessary to display or otherwise provide identification information or credentials for a specific application. The interaction badge can also provide control or access to when and where the information provided by the badge is accessed. Additionally, the interaction badge can provide additional functionality for a wearer such as location and interaction tracking, audio recording, and language translation.

Systems and methods that comprise scanning, using a camera on a mobile electronic device, a target item coupled to a heating device. The heating device comprises: a transceiver that receives commands for controlling operations of the heating device to dispose of biohazard waste; and a target item that is coupled to or presented by the heating device, and includes heating device identification data. The methods also comprise: obtaining, using a mobile communication device including a circuit, the heating device identification data from the target item; accessing the heating device using the heating device identification data; and causing a graphical user interface to be presented that enables user-software interactions for communicating the commands from the mobile communication device to the heating device.

An intuitive music composition game platform with various modes of operation in a single reader system and a music mash up collectable card game and method using cards with tags and unique identifications. A single reading platform includes a cover for card storage and for supporting a smart device platform for reading many Near Field communication (NFC) embedded cards, with stacking features and colored light indicated input lanes selection for user identification and selection. Various game modes include individual, studio mix, party modes game play features in music mash up collectable card games, which may be used together with or independent of accessory devices as controllers, or smart device user interfaces with Bluetooth™ or Wi-Fi for communicating user selection and operation.

An asset identification tag having an adhesive region proximate a first end of the tag that has an adhesive disposed on at least a portion of a surface thereof, an extension region proximate a second end of the tag that has a radio-frequency identification (RFID) transponder disposed within the extension region, and an indicator disposed between the extension region and the adhesive region.

Provided are foldable transaction cards with a living hinge. In some approaches, a transaction card may include a body including a first main side opposite a second main side, wherein an identification chip is coupled to the body, and wherein a living hinge connects a first section of the body and a second section of the body. The living hinge may extend between the first and second main sides of the body, wherein the first and second sections of the body are pivotable about the living hinge between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration.

A secured document, in the form of a booklet made up of at least one page that can be folded about a folding axis, includes a transponder provided with an electronic chip including memory for data storage and a transponder antenna. The secured document further includes two amplifier antennas, separate from the antenna of the transponder, arranged on pages of the booklet so that, in the open document position, one of the amplifier antennas amplifies the electromagnetic flux picked up by the antenna of the transponder to allow the document to communicate with a remote reader, and, in the closed document position, the amplifier antennas are configured so that the electromagnetic flux picked up by the antenna of the transponder is below a minimal threshold that allows the electronic chip to communicate with a remote reader.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide automated identification techniques that associate at least two unique identifiers of one segment of a segmental multimode wireless flexible product to seamlessly and accurately bridge different identification methodologies to enable advanced real-time tracking of shipment location and status, and other such useful and advanced product and service offerings.

An anti-tampering device for an RFID tag according to various aspects of the present technology may include a flexible circuit card and an anti-tamper sticker. The anti-tamper sticker may be configured to include a circuit printed on a surface of the anti-tamper sticker that is electrically coupled to the circuit card. The printed circuit may be comprised of conductive ink extending between a pair of vias that are connected to vias on the circuit card when the anti-tamper sticker is positioned over the circuit card. Any attempt to remove the anti-tamper sticker causes the printed ink to disrupt the electrical connection between the two vias breaking a circuit with the circuit card. The circuit card may be configured to respond to the disruption to indicate that the RFID tag has been compromised.

A flexible sensing system includes: a flexible tag device including a first antenna, first sensor and second sensors, first modulation transistor and second modulation transistors connected to both ends of the first antenna, first ring oscillator that drives the first modulation transistor together with the first sensor, and a second ring oscillator that drives the second modulation transistor together with the second sensor; and a reader device that is flexible and includes a second antenna that is inductively coupled with the first antenna, extracts an output signal of the tag device for each frequency bandwidth, and corrects an output signal change of the tag device according to a coupling change between the first antenna and the second antenna.
