Abstract
A label adapted to be attached to an item and a system for validating a label are provided. The label contains an identifying portion of a circuit path extending between at least a pair of contact points in which the identifying portion of the circuit path includes a segment containing graphene. The system can include this label and a validating device. The validating device includes a testing portion of the circuit path adapted to contact the at least the pair of contact points of the identifying portion of the circuit path in the label to thereby complete the circuit path. The testing portion of the validation device is configured to internally process and validate the label in the validating device.
Claims20
A system for validating a label in which the label is adapted to be attached to an item, the system comprising:
- a label containing an identifying portion of a circuit path extending between at least a pair of contact points in which the identifying portion of the circuit path includes a segment containing graphene;
- and
- a validating device comprising a testing portion of the circuit path adapted to contact the at least the pair of contact points of the identifying portion of the circuit path in the label to thereby complete the circuit path, and in which the testing portion of the validating device is configured to internally process and validate the label in the validating device.
