A game token tray system includes a game token tray having a dual tray structure in which a game token is stored. The game token tray system includes a double tray including a lower tray and an upper tray stacked on the lower tray to store a game token provided with an RF tag in which tag information is stored, a camera that acquires tray image data by imaging the game token stored in the upper tray, an RIFD reading device that reads the tag information from the RF tag of the game token stored in the lower tray, and a game recording device that records the tray image data and/or an image analysis result of the tray image data about the game token stored in the upper tray and records the tag information read by the RFID reading device about the game token stored in the upper tray.

Components, systems, and methods for detection of volatile ions and related methods are generally provided. In some embodiments, the components, systems, and methods are configured for use with mass and/or ion mobility spectrometry. In some embodiments, a characteristic of an article (e.g., identity, authenticity, property, adulteration, product associated information such as age or quality, etc.) may be determined by determining the presence (e.g., an amount) or absence of one or more ionic species emanating from the article. For example, the presence or absence of the one or more ionic species emanating from the article identifies a characteristic of the article. In some embodiments, the one or more ionic species have been proactively added to the article.

According to one embodiment, an antenna apparatus includes a ground plate having an opening, a ground layer on a first side of the ground plate, an antenna on the first side of the ground plate and connected to the ground layer, the antenna being disposed around the opening, and a conductive member on the first side of the ground plate to contact an outer perimeter of the opening. The conductive member is electrically connected to the ground layer.

Methods and systems for providing authentication of dispensed prescriptions include utilizing one or more authenticator indicia, wherein the authenticator indicia have a plurality of indicia components including unique identification number for associating a dose of medication in a database. The authenticator indicia are configured on dose containers, such as blister packs and pill packs, to be scannable by a third-party scanning tool. The scanned information can be received by an authentication communication system to establish authenticity and other information such as adherence and compliance information related to the dispensed prescriptions.

A method of decoding spatially related indicia includes: at an imaging controller, controlling an image sensor to capture an image containing a plurality of indicia; at the imaging controller, detecting image positions of each of the indicia; at the imaging controller, for each of a plurality of indicia pairs: determining whether the image positions of the indicia in the pair have a predefined spatial relationship; and responsive to determining that the indicia in the pair have the predefined spatial relationship, presenting (i) values decoded from the indicia in the pair, and (ii) an indicator that the decoded values are related.

A system includes a processor, a barcode reader, and an RFID R/W component. The barcode reader scans a barcode of an item to generate barcode information, and communicates the barcode information to the processor. The RFID R/W component receives, from the processor, a serialization number corresponding to the barcode information. The RFID R/W component then writes the serialization number to an RFID tag of the item.

Provided is a disclosure for using indicia to handle information for use in material preparation and analysis equipment.
