Abstract
A RFID tag including an antenna positioned on a first substrate and a chip positioned on a second substrate. The tag is manually shiftable from a first state to a second state, wherein one of the first or second states is a state in which the chip and the antenna are electrically coupled, and wherein the other one of the first or second states is a state in which the chip and the antenna are electrically uncoupled.
Claims20
A RFID tag comprising:
- an antenna positioned on a first substrate;
- and
- a chip positioned on a second substrate, wherein said tag is manually shiftable from a first state to a second state, wherein one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip and said antenna are electrically coupled, and wherein the other one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip and said antenna are electrically uncoupled.
A RFID tag comprising:
- an outer casing;
- an antenna positioned within said outer casing;
- and
- a chip positioned within said outer casing and out of plane relative to said antenna, wherein said tag is manually shiftable from a first state to a second state, wherein one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip and said antenna are electrically coupled, and wherein the other one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip and said antenna are electrically uncoupled.
1 more element
A RFID tag comprising:
- an outer casing;
- an antenna positioned on a first substrate in said outer casing;
- and
- a chip positioned on a second substrate in said outer casing, wherein at least part of an outer surface of said RFID tag is manually movable to cause said chip and said antenna to be electrically coupled or to cause said chip and said antenna to be electrically uncoupled.
1 more element
A RFID tag comprising:
- an antenna;
- a chip;
- and
- a generally flexible outer casing positioned generally around said antenna and said chip, wherein said tag is manually shiftable from a first state to a second state, wherein one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip is electrically coupled to said antenna, and wherein the other one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip is electrically uncoupled from said antenna.
1 more element
A method for making a RFID tag comprising:
- accessing a first substrate with an antenna thereon;
- accessing a second substrate with chip thereon;
- and
- positioning said antenna and said chip to form a tag that is manually shiftable from a first state to a second state, wherein one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip and said antenna are electrically coupled, and wherein the other one of said first or second states is a state in which said chip and said antenna are electrically uncoupled.
