The present invention relates to a method for producing radio frequency identification devices (RFID) without personalized chip, in particular the production of RFID tags without personalized chip, also referred to as chipless RFID tags. The present invention also relates to devices and labels produced by the claimed method as well as to systems for producing said devices/labels.

Embodiments of the invention employ frequency selective surfaces that resonate at defined frequencies depending on geometry. Tag-based embodiments allow the ability to have passive, battery-free, systems that can be used for applications including but not limited to inventory tracking, locating, and indoor radar (e.g. determining whether something labeled with a tag is in range of a particular wireless network signal). The shape of the resonator, among other available factors, influences the interference frequency. Embodiments may include metal based tags on a non-conductive material that will be used to disturb, for example, frequencies from 3 KHz to 300 GHz. These disturbances at specific resonant frequencies are useable to, for example, locate the tags/labels using WiFi Mapping, sending a WiFi signal and getting unique feedback on a router.

This learning device is provided with: a simulation execution unit that, by using electromagnetic field analysis simulation, determines a reflected wave spectrum obtained when electromagnetic waves are emitted from a reader to an identification target; and a machine learning unit that, by using training data in which the reflected wave spectrum calculated by the simulation execution unit and an attribute thereof are defined as a set, performs a training process on a learning model by machine learning. The simulation execution unit generates a plurality of the reflected wave spectra belonging to the same attribute by variously changing various parameters related to the identification target from reference parameters. The machine learning unit performs a training process on the learning model by machine learning by using, as training data, the plurality of reflected wave spectra obtained for each attribute.

A computer-implemented method for digitization of papercraft folding for creation of a papercraft model may include monitoring, via an RFID reader, a sheet provided with an array of RFID tags. Based on the RFID reader output, the occurrence of a fold performed on the sheet is determined. The method further includes determining fold properties of the occurred fold and storing the fold properties as a fold dataset of the occurred fold.

Provided is a medical device assembly for detection of medical device components and/or mating thereof. The medical device assembly may include a first medical device component having at least one first resonant structure, which may have a first resonant frequency spectrum. A second medical device component may have at least one second resonant structure, which may have a second resonant frequency spectrum different than the first resonant frequency spectrum. Upon mating of the first medical device component to the second medical device component, the first resonant structure(s) and the second resonant structure(s) may combine to have a third resonant frequency spectrum, which may be different than the first resonant frequency spectrum and the second resonant frequency spectrum. A system and method are also disclosed.

A method for forming a structure for a radio frequency identification device includes dispensing a photosensitive compound onto a substrate. Subsequently, first portions of the photosensitive compound are exposed to a light pattern from a light source, while second portions of the photosensitive compound remain unexposed to the light source. Exposing the photosensitive compound to light reduces the photosensitive compound to a metal layer. The unexposed second portions of the photosensitive compound may be rinsed away to leave the metal layer. Processing may continue to form an RFID circuit from the metal layer, and a completed RFID transponder comprising the RFID circuit.

A method and structure for a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor that may be used to monitor various environmental conditions. The environmental condition measured depends on a sensor material used in the RFID sensor. The sensor material is selected based on a flux in electrical conductivity relative to its saturation of the environmental condition being monitored. The sensor material is placed between adjacent electrically conductive structures of the RFID sensor. Upon a change in the environmental condition being measure, the electrical conductivity of the sensor material changes, thereby increasing or decreasing an amplitude of a response by the RFID sensor to an interrogation by an RFID reader.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag or transponder that outputs a first signal when a product or product package is sealed. During one particular use, unsealing the product or product package disables the RFID tag, such that no active second signal is output (i.e., the second signal is a passive second signal). In another particular use, unsealing the product or product package removes one or more resonators of a multiresonator such that the second signal is an active second signal that is different from the first signal. The RFID tag need not be visible to identify whether the product or product package is in a sealed state or an unsealed state.

This invention relates to a method for detecting chipless radio frequency identification devices (RFID), in particular chip detection, also referred to as chipless RFID tags. This invention also relates to the devices and tags which may be used in the claimed method.

An information acquisition device is provided within a virtual plane including a coil axis of a coil-shaped antenna and having a perpendicular line orthogonal to an axis of rotation of a tire, such that the angle formed by the coil axis of the antenna relative to the tire rotational axis is within a range of 0° to 40°. The amount of attenuation of radio waves emitted from the antenna to the exterior of the tire is thereby reduced.
