Abstract
A wireless communication tape, dispenser of the same and methods of usage of the wireless tape and the dispenser in asset tracking applications are disclosed. The wireless communication tape can be manufactured in an ultrathin form factor by laminating a stack of layers to impart functionality to the wireless communication tape. Methods of use and operation of the wireless communication tape are disclosed to save battery resources of the communication tape.
Claims25
A wireless tracking label tape, comprising:
- a flexible substrate;
- an interconnect layer formed on the flexible substrate and patterned to electrically couple a plurality of electrical circuits including a RF communication processor and a RF communication circuit configured to generate tracking information;
- and
- a battery formed on the flexible substrate and comprising a cathode coating and an anode coating, with a battery pouch formed on the interconnect layer, the battery pouch containing electrochemical components of the battery to form a barrier impermeable to gases or moisture deleterious to battery lifetime for electrolyte chemicals including at least one member from the group consisting of ZnSO4, ZnCl2, MnSO4, and AlCl4.
