Label constructions comprise a first section and a second section that are laminate constructions of a card stock top surface that may include printed indicia, an adhesive layer disposed underneath the card stock, and a removable liner adhered to the adhesive layer and common to the first and second sections. The first section includes an RFID device. The first section may be configured once removed from the liner to fold on itself to form an RFID tag, or to form an RFID adhesive label. The second section once separately removed from the liner forms an adhesive label. The construction first and second sections are positioned adjacent one another and are formed during the same manufacturing process for purposes of manufacturing efficiency. The first and second sections may be treated to facilitate separate removal from the liner to provide labeling flexibility.

A multi-functional tag for marking cultivated plants and agricultural product throughout the whole plant and product cycle.

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 label for being applied, by being wrapped around, to an object to be identified, includes a non-adhesive top side including a printing region for receiving a print on the top side and an adhesive bottom side, by which the label is fastened to the object. The label is in the shape of a strip having a length that is greater than a periphery of the object to be labeled. A transparent wrapping tab is arranged adjacently to the printing region in a longitudinal direction of the label. A length of the wrapping tab is at least equal to the periphery of the object to be labeled. The wrapping tab is wrapped on the printing region and covers the printing region when the label has been applied to the object. An RFID transponder is arranged between the top side and the bottom side in the printing region.

Supported copper foils and method for making and using supported copper foils are described. In an aspect, a supported copper foil includes: a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film; a thin copper foil; and an adhesive provided between the PET film and the thin copper foil, the adhesive removably coupling the PET film to the copper foil.

A multiple ply printed product and a method of producing it are described. The method comprises providing a substrate layer having a first surface supporting at least one wireless communication chip and a second surface, reverse to the first surface. A first paper stock having a first surface and a second surface is also provided. A first bonding operation is performed to substantially bond together the first surface of the substrate layer and the second surface of the first paper stock, to sandwich the wireless communication chip between the first paper stock and the substrate layer; providing a second paper stock having a first surface and a second surface. At least one of the first surface of the first paper stock and the second surface of the second paper stock may be printed on. A second bonding operation is performed to bond together the first surface of the second paper stock and the second surface of the substrate layer, to form a multiple ply printed product where the first surface of the substrate layer supports a plurality of wireless communication chips and the multiple ply printed product is a sheet on which is printed a plurality of business cards, each business card corresponding to a respective wireless communication chip.

A crane mat having first and second side beams or boards; a core structure made of pine or other softwoods, eucalyptus, solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that optionally include a filler or internal reinforcing structure; external components including an upper and/or lower layers of one or more elongated members to protect the core structure, and a plurality of joining members that attach the outer side members to the core structure. Another crane mat can be made of just the solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that each include a plurality of spaced lateral apertures passing therethrough; and joining members that include a rod that passes through the aligned lateral apertures to hold the members together in the mat. These crane mats may also include lifting elements of the types described herein.

The group of inventions relates to the field of radio-frequency identification, in particular, to materials containing radio-frequency tags in their layers and intended for printing and stamping by commonly available printing methods. The technical result is the creation of the technical solution as an alternative to the known one. The sheet material with the radio frequency identification is characterized by the fact that it is made in the form of a rectangular paper sheet with a length of 450-485 mm, width of 300-330 mm (according to the first variant) and a length of 700-750 mm, width of 500-530 mm (according to the second variant), and it contains an antenna and a chip located inside the sheet, what's more, one of the corners of the sheet is made geometrically different from three other corners.

The invention relates to the field of radio-frequency identification, in particular, to materials containing radio-frequency tags in their layers and intended for printing and stamping by commonly available printing methods. The technical result of the invention is to obtain the flexible flat sheet material in which the chips and other electronic components do not affect the level of the sheet material surface flatness. The flat sheet material with radio frequency identification contains the sequentially arranged first layer of flexible material, the first intermediate layer, the substrate layer with an antenna and a chip, the second intermediate layer, the second layer of flexible material, and the first intermediate layer made of the polymer composite.
