Abstract
In one aspect of the invention, a method is provided for forming a medium. In accordance with the method, a substrate is formed have a patterned surface with a channel pattern and a transponder having a memory is provided in the channel pattern. A conductive material is deposited in the channel pattern with the conductive material operatively associated with the transponder.
Claims81
A method for forming a medium comprising the steps of:
- forming a substrate having a patterned surface with a channel pattern thereon;
- providing a transponder having a memory in the channel pattern;
- and
- depositing a conductive material in the channel pattern with the conductive material operatively associated with the transponder.

A method for forming a medium comprising the steps of:
- forming a substrate web with a patterned surface having a channel pattern;
- providing a transponder having a memory in the channel pattern;
- and
- coating a conductive material into the channel pattern with the conductive material electrically contacting the transponder, wherein said channel pattern includes an antenna pattern and wherein conductive material coated into the antenna pattern forms an antenna operatively associated with the transponder.
1 more element
A medium comprising:
- a substrate having a patterned surface with a channel pattern;
- a transponder having a memory positioned in a portion of the channel pattern;
- and
- a conductive material in another portion of the channel pattern;
- wherein the transponder and conductive material are operatively associated.
2 more elements
