The present disclosure provides a system and method for generating RFID labels using automated RFID encoding, and verification of RFID labels post generation. In some aspect, generating RFID labels may be done using a label printer and an easy-to-attach RFID encoder. The RFID encoder may include an RFID controller coupled to a network, one or more antennas, a barcode scanner, and one or more optical detectors. As printed RFID labels pass through the label printer, the RFID encoder receives serialization data on the printed labels, which is translated into encode data by the RFID encoder and mask encoded into the RFID labels.

A surgical sponge is provided, having a radiofrequency (RF) tag positioned interior thereto. The RF tag has a base layer with at least one tab projecting from an outer perimeter of thereof. The RF tag has a first protective layer with at least one tab projecting from the outer perimeter of the RF tag and generally aligned with the at least one tab of the base layer and an RF identifier laminated between the base layer and the first protective layer. The RF identifier has an antenna, and an electrically responsive member. The antenna can be a metal foil loop antenna etched on to the base layer. The RF identifier can include additional metal foil provided on the base layer when the metal foil loop antenna is etched on to the base layer, the additional metal foil configured to enhance x-ray opacity of the sponge.

Various switchable RFID devices are disclosed. These switchable RFID devices may include one or more RFID tags and one or more switches. Some of these one or more switches are optionally wireless. In various embodiments, the switchable RFID devices include cellular phones, security devices, identity devices, financial devices, remote controls, and the like. In some embodiments, switches are configured to enter data into a switchable RFID device, for example to select a financial account. Switches are optionally configured to program the RFID device or to operate as sensors.

A flexible sensor device includes a device layer including at least a first sensor configured to measure sensor data relevant to an object of interest, a flexible electronics layer including flexible circuit connected to the first sensor, a flexible substrate located between the flexible electronics layer and a first adhesive layer, a flexible tape cover that is on the device layer opposite the flexible substrate, the flexible tape cover covering the device layer, and a coupling element, located in a first aperture, the coupling element coupling the first sensor to the object of interest when the sensor device is attached to the object of interest. The first aperture is in one of the flexible substrate and the flexible substrate, overlapping the first sensor and exposing the coupling element to the object of interest.

A security document with a first security element, which includes a first item of visually recognizable and in particular machine-readable information, and a second security element, which includes a second item of in particular machine-readable information which can be used to verify the first item of information. A method for the authentication thereof is also described.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag designed for sensing a temperature includes a flag section and a tail section. The flag section including an integrated circuit with an RFID transponder and a temperature sensor in communication with the RFID transponder, and the tail section projects outwardly from the flag section to an outward end of the tail section. A thermally-conductive material is coupled to the tail section and is configured to transfer thermal energy from the outward end of the tail section to the temperature sensor.

An RFID mesh label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to further provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and/or post-vulcanization, the RFID mesh label including a face layer configured to be positioned adjacent or flush to an outer surface of the vulcanized tire; an RFID layer positioned underneath the face layer, the RFID layer having an RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire upon being read with an RFID reader; and a mesh backing overlying the RFID layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process.

A single dual-sided product placement and information strip includes a first side with product information for consumers and a second side with product placement information for placing products on a display shelf. The dual-sided product placement and information strip enables information necessary for consumers to be printed on the first (consumer-facing) side and information that assists stockers to place products on shelves to be printed on the second (opposing) side. Also disclosed are systems and methods for formatting and printing the dual-sided product placement and information strips. The single dual-sided product placement and information strip may be printed alone or in a single sheet along with one or more other dual-sided product placement and information strips.

The present invention refers to the field of electronic devices, with reference to the radio transmission and reception field operating in radiofrequency and, more particularly, to the TAG field operating in RFID technology. In particular, the present invention deals with RFID communication devices preferably applied or realized on rigid or semi-rigid supports, with particular reference to textile supports. Even more particularly, the present invention intends to improve and enhance an invention described by the same applicant in a previous application mentioned in the description. Similar to at least some of the objects described in the invention mentioned above, also the present invention has, among others, the purpose of describing a method and a relative innovative electronic system, suitable for being made, or solidarily fixed to a rigid or semi-rigid support, in particular with reference to certain types of textile supports suitable for the purpose, which will be the object of some preferred embodiments described hereinbelow.

A security document with a first security element, which includes a first item of visually recognizable and in particular machine-readable information, and a second security element, which includes a second item of in particular machine-readable information which can be used to verify the first item of information. A method for the authentication thereof is also described.
