RFID for Supply Chain Management, Secure Transactions, Warehousing, Human and Animal Implants, and Manufacturing: 11-Patent Portfolio

In the past few years, RFID technology has found applications in diverse areas, and has become a globally accepted technology with a broad footprint. RFID technology is widely implemented in retailing, supply chains, aviation, healthcare, access control, ID/smartcards and public transit. The market for RFID capabilities continues to grow as major retail and non-retail companies implement RFID technology. RFID chips, implemented in access control systems and ID cards along with supply chain management and asset tracking, represent a huge global market. With recent advancements, the technology has found implementation in process automation, smart shelves, person and animal tracking, and automatic inventory management as well.

Applications for RFID technology include:

Asset tracking and supply chain management
Secure transaction using RFID cards
RFID inventory tracking in warehouses
RFID implants for animals/humans
RFID chip manufacturing

This portfolio covers novel methods of RFID implementation in several diverse fields. Some of the more common applications for the technology that are included in the portfolio include:

RFID chip implemented on a smartcard or a cash card needs secure and fast interrogation in retail sector. The technology in the portfolio describes a method to implement secure and fast interrogation within a specialized reader arrangement, such as a Faraday cage or a hermetically sealed pressure container. The arrangement is utilized to avoid identity data theft, skimming, and eavesdropping.
RFID chips implemented for asset tracking in a supply chain management system requires tracking of an RFID tag. The technology in the portfolio includes a method to implement tracking of assets using a cellular or a mobile phone tower/station.
Antennae used in RFID technology are implemented on chips to decrease the cost and weight of RFID technology implementation. Technology in the portfolio covers a System-On-Chip arrangement that increases the range of interrogation of RFID readers.
RFID technology is now widely used in medical implants. Technology in the portfolio includes an active RFID powered by bodily fluids giving the RFID implanted within a mammalian body an increased range of detection.
