The present invention is a method and apparatus for producing ready to use RFID devices in a convenient and economical manner. The apparatus of the present invention may be collocated with a manufacturer of consumer goods.

An apparatus for supplying a support having a clean surface is provided. Alternatively, an apparatus for manufacturing a stack including a support and a remaining portion of a processed member whose one surface layer is separated is provided. A positioning portion, a slit formation portion, and a peeling portion are included. The positioning portion is provided with a first transfer mechanism of a stacked film including a support and a separator and a table for fixing the stacked film. The slit formation portion is provided with a cutter that can form a slit which does not pass through the separator. The peeling portion is provided with a second transfer mechanism and a peeling mechanism extending the separator and then peeling the separator. In addition, a pretreatment portion activating a support surface is included.

A method of manufacturing a laminated iron core includes performing at least two kinds of selectively-actuated punching processes by actuating respective punching units to form a plurality of iron core pieces, each of the punching units being switchable between an active state or a non-active state, and caulking and laminating the plurality of iron core pieces to manufacture the laminated iron core. The selectively-actuated punching processes are performed in one operation by selectively actuating each of the punching units between the active state and the non-active state.

A method for manufacturing a laminated iron core includes providing a plurality of annular iron core piece rows, each of which is configured by annularly arranging a plurality of divided iron core pieces including yokes and teeth, and the yokes of the annularly-adjacent divided iron core pieces in the annular iron core piece row are mutually different in shape. In the method, the annular iron core piece rows are laminated by changing a rotational angle of the newly laminated annular iron core piece row relatively to the lastly laminated annular iron core piece row laminated so that the divided iron core piece with a shape different from that of the divided iron core piece is laminated on the lastly laminated divided iron core piece.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an antenna for a radio frequency (RFID) tag. A web of material is provided to at least one cutting station in which a first pattern is generated in the web of material. A further cutting may occur to create additional modifications in order to provide a microchip attachment location and to selectively tune an antenna for a particular end use application. The cutting may be performed by a laser, die cutting, stamping or combinations thereof.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal foil laminate which may be used for example to produce an antenna for a radio frequency (RFID) tag, electronic circuit, photovoltaic module or the like. A web of material is provided to at least one cutting station in which a first pattern is generated in the web of material. A further cutting may occur to create additional modifications in order to provide additional features for the intended end use of the product. The cutting may be performed by a laser either alone or in combinations with other cutting technologies.

A bonding system includes a substrate transfer device configured to transfer a first substrate and a second substrate in a normal pressure atmosphere, a surface modifying apparatus configured to modify surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate to be bonded with each other in a depressurized atmosphere, a load lock chamber in which the first substrate and the second substrate are delivered between the substrate transfer device and the surface modifying apparatus and in which an internal atmosphere of the load lock chamber is switchable between an atmospheric pressure atmosphere and the depressurized atmosphere, a surface hydrophilizing apparatus configured to hydrophilize the modified surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate, and a bonding apparatus configured to bond the hydrophilized surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate by an intermolecular force.

A method for manufacturing a separable electromagnetic inductive apparatus is provided. The method for manufacturing a separable electromagnetic inductive apparatus comprises a winding step for winding a steel plate composed of a rolled amorphous magnetic alloy to a circular shape to form a magnetic core; a heat treating and an impregnating step for heat treating and impregnating the wound magnetic core without adding cobalt; a cutting step for cutting the heat treated and impregnated magnetic core to an orthogonal direction to the wound direction of the magnetic core; and a polishing step for polishing the cut surface having a three-dimensional plane of the cut surface of the magnetic core evenly arranged in a fixed state.

A method of making a printed circuit board structure including a closed cavity is provided. The method can include the steps of forming a cavity in a core structure of a core layer, laminating each of a top surface and a bottom surface of the core structure with an adhesive layer and a metal layer to prepare a laminate structure and cover the cavity to define a closed cavity. The method also includes forming vias through the laminate structure, and patterning the metal layers in the laminate structure.
