An accessory for a tag device and a RFID tagging device using the accessory. The accessory includes a tag holder defining with a slot arranged to receive the tag device and to removably secure the tag device in a predetermined position; and an antenna provided on the tag holder, wherein the antenna has a radiator arranged to couple to a feeder of the tag device when the tag device is positioned in the predetermined position within the slot.

A card core includes a body defining a cutout and a discontinuity. The cutout includes an opening in the body defined by an edge and the discontinuity includes a channel defined by the body extending from an outer surface of the body to the cutout. At least one circuit element is positioned within the cutout. The cutout defines a size and geometry such that a gap is defined between the at least one circuit element and the edge to electromagnetically isolate the at least one circuit element from the body.

Systems and methods are disclosed for RFID (radio frequency identifier) tags with transponders secured within housings without potting elements using one or more components located at edges of cavities for the housings. For certain embodiments, an RFID transponder is positioned within a cavity formed in a housing for an RFID tag, and regions at the edge of the cavity are deformed using heat treatment to secure the RFID transponder within the housing. For certain embodiments, click pins are used to secure the RFID transponder within the housing. Once secured, an adhesive is used to attach the resulting RFID tag to the surface of an object. Preferably, the adhesive fills at least a portion of the cavity surrounding the RFID transponder during this attachment process. Tamper resistant solutions are also disclosed.

(i) Smartcards (SC) manufactured from a web of metal inlays (MI; FIGS. 12-14) with the coupling frame (CF) forming the metal card body (MCB) supported by metal struts (struts). In the production of smartcards having a coupling frame (CF) with a slit (S), the slit may form part of graphic elements (FIGS. 10-12). (ii) Printing and coating techniques may be used to camouflage the slit (FIGS. 9A-9D). (iii) Surface currents may be collected from one location in a card body (CB) and transported to another location (FIGS. 15AB). A flexible circuit (FC) may be connected to termination points (TP) across the slit (S), or may couple via a patch antenna (PA) with the slit (S). The flexible circuit may couple, via an antenna structure (AS) with the module antenna (MA) of a transponder chip module (TCM).

Disclosed are pre-cure RFID-enabled bead labels based on an RFID inlay construction consisting of an aluminum antenna etched on to a high temperature resistant polyimide film that is connected to an integrated memory circuit positioned on the surface of the polyimide film. This RFID inlay being further inserted into an overall label construction having a plurality of layers that include, for example, a plurality of polyester layers and a plurality of high temperature resistant adhesive layers that bond/adhere layers together, the plurality of layers further protecting and insulating the RFID inlay while the label is bonded to the external bead (or sidewall) of a tire. The compositions/devices disclosed herein can be used for electronic identification when applied on rubber-based articles (e.g., tires) prior to being subjected to stress related to the vulcanization process and normal use of this article during the manufacturing process.

A method of making a metallic credit card from an existing plastic credit card including the steps of cutting the existing plastic credit card from each side edge, peeling the plastic top layer from its bottom plastic substrate, removing its EMV chip, and attaching it to a metallic substrate. The metallic substrate can further be laser engraved with the user's personal information.

A process for making a transaction card defined by a plurality of layers is described. The process includes providing a first portion of the card, the first portion comprising a non-plastic layer having first and second faces and a thickness therebetween; forming an opening in the non-plastic layer, the opening defined through the first face; disposing embedded electronics in the opening; providing a second portion of the card; and providing a fill disposed in portions of the opening not occupied by the embedded electronics and attaching the first portion of the card to the second portion of the card.

A method of manufacturing a relay includes a molded resin element step configured to produce a molded resin element with an IC chip is embedded therein by injecting a resin around the IC chip; an assembly step configured to apply the molded resin element to a base material as an exterior jacket component of the relay, the base material serving as the main body of the relay; and an antenna wiring forming step configured to print an antenna wiring on a surface of the molded resin element, the antenna wiring configured to allow the IC chip to perform wireless communication.
