A flexible wireless communication device with high position accuracy and low cost by a simple process is described, including a wireless communication device and a method for manufacturing a wireless communication device formed by bonding a first film substrate on which at least a circuit is formed and a second film substrate on which an antenna is formed, in which the circuit includes a transistor, and the transistor is formed by a step of forming a conductive pattern on the first film substrate, a step of forming an insulating layer on the film substrate on which the conductive pattern is formed, and a step of applying a solution including an organic semiconductor and/or a carbon material on the insulating layer and drying the solution to form a semiconductor layer.

An Apparatus and Method for reliably sorting RFID chips, in inlays, labels, tags or other units of manufacture, into rows and columns, and using that information to report their exact position on a moving web, in support of further manufacturing processes, in the presence of crosstalk, with speed and accuracy exceeding prior art.

An IoT sampling system that includes a set of adhesive tape platforms. Each adhesive tape platform has zero or more wireless transducing circuits applied according to a sampling frequency that is based on a predetermined criteria. Each applied wireless transducing circuit further having a predetermined role and on one or more features based on the predetermined criteria.

An RFID antenna structure for use with an RFID device is disclosed. A printed electronic circuit (PEC) is assembled onto an area of a conductor that is initially substantially flat, with minimal apertures cut into it. The substantially flat conductor makes the printing of the functional chip/circuit easier. Then, the conductor is cut post process with a laser or other cutting tool to create the interconnection. In another embodiment, the conductors of the PEC bridge the position where an aperture should be to create part of an RFID antenna. Further, the conductive layer and the PEC are then cut post process to create an antenna for the RFID device.

A method for manufacturing a carrier tape housing a plurality of electronic components with seal materials includes forming housing holes in tape-shaped main body with first and second principal surfaces along a longitudinal direction of the tape-shaped main body, the housing holes penetrating from the first principal surface to the second principal surface, affixing an adhesive layer of a tape-shaped seal material to the second principal surface of the tape-shaped main body to cover the housing holes, forming cuts in the tape-shaped seal material to separate portions defining and functioning as the seal materials including portions at least partially overlapping with the respective housing holes in a planar view from the other portions, and providing chip-shaped electronic component into each of the housing holes of the tape-shaped main body and fixing the electronic component to the adhesive layer of the seal material exposed in each of the housing holes.

A tracking device comprises a flexible belt body configured to loop around a portion of a pallet, e.g., around a center stringer of a pallet. The flexible belt body has a first portion and a second portion configured to be connected. The tracking device further comprises a first region having one or more sensitive electronic components and a second region having one or more durable electronic components and/or electronic components that benefit from exposure during transportation. The tracking device is positioned on the portion of the pallet such that the first region is oriented towards an interior of the pallet and the second region is oriented towards an exterior of the pallet.

A wireless tag processing device includes a wireless tag reader-writer and a processor configured to acquire first and second sets of parameter values, control the reader-writer to transmit a radio wave using each parameter value of the first set and acquire a first intensity of a response wave from a wireless tag, when a highest first intensity satisfies a first condition, determine a parameter value of the first set corresponding to the highest intensity as a parameter value to be used by the reader-writer, and when the highest intensity does not satisfy the condition, control the reader-writer to transmit a radio wave using each parameter value of the second set and acquire a second intensity, and when a highest second intensity satisfies a second condition, determine a parameter value of the second set corresponding to the highest second intensity as the parameter value to be used by the reader-writer.

An apparatus and method are provided for tagging or labeling an item or equipment for identification and tracking purposes. The apparatus comprises a length of supply material having a first section with a first opening and a second section that may have additional features such as notches or second openings that are configured to engage with the first opening when the second section is pulled through the first opening in the first section. By pulling the second section through the first opening, a loop of material may be formed and applied around an item or product for identification and tracking purposes. Such a tag or label is particularly advantages for use with medical devices and equipment.

An Apparatus and Method for reliably sorting RFID chips, in inlays, labels, tags or other units of manufacture, into rows and columns, and using that information to report their exact position on a moving web, in support of further manufacturing processes, in the presence of crosstalk, with speed and accuracy exceeding prior art.

A method for encapsulating electronic devices comprises, successively, placing a profiled strip on a conveyor belt, the profiled strip comprising a base, at least one flap protruding with respect to said base; positioning an electronic device, in the longitudinal direction, on the receiving zone of the profiled strip; and plastically deforming the flap by application of an application force in a predetermined direction.
