A wireless communication device includes a base sheet in a folded state, a first conductor pattern disposed on a first principal surface of the base sheet, a second conductor pattern disposed on a second principal surface of the base sheet opposite to the first principal surface, an RFIC chip disposed on the base sheet so as to electrically connect to the first conductor pattern, and a sheet-shaped connection conductor coupled to a turning part of the base sheet so as to partially overlap with an end portion of the first conductor pattern near the turning part and an end portion of the second conductor pattern near the turning part.

An antenna apparatus for a radio frequency (RF) coil to transmit signals to and to receive signal from a subject in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes a distal surface facing away from the subject, a proximal surface facing towards the subject, a high permittivity material (HPM) having a shape, and an antenna coupled to the HPM and positioned on the proximal surface such that the antenna is positioned between the HPM and the subject.

A machine tool includes a tool and a protective device. The tool includes a saw blade and a motor for driving the saw blade. An insulating member is arranged between the saw blade and the motor. The protective device includes a signal receiving unit, a control unit and a breaker. The signal receiving unit has an antenna receiving end that is in electrical contact with a middle region of the saw blade. The breaker is electrically connected between the motor and a utility power supply. The control unit is connected to the signal receiving unit and the breaker. The saw blade is used as an antenna by the signal receiving unit to receive an electromagnetic wave having the same frequency as that of a utility power from an environment, and the control unit controls the breaker according to a change of intensity in the electromagnetic wave.

Dual-mode RFID devices are provided with an integrated dual-mode RFID strap including either a UHF/HF dual-mode RFID chip or the combination of a UHF RFID chip and an HF RFID chip. An HF antenna and a UHF antenna are both coupled to the integrated dual-mode RFID strap, with the UHF antenna being formed by an approach other than etching, such as a cutting or printing operation, thereby reducing the cost to manufacture the device. If a pair of chips is employed, one of the chips may have a greater thickness than the other chip, which allows for the thicker chip to be incorporated into the device after the thinner chip without requiring a minimum separation between the two chips due to the size of a thermode used to secure the chips. Additionally, the first chip may be tested before securing the second chip, thereby limiting the cost of a rejected device.
