Radio Frequency Device For Tracking Goods

US Patent:
2005027, Dec 8, 2005
Filed:
Jun 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/860071
Inventors:
Benson Chan - Vestal NY, US
William Kimler - Vestal NY, US
How Lin - Vestal NY, US
William Maines - Binghamton NY, US
Voya Markovich - Endwell NY, US
Assignee:
Maines Paper and Food Service, Inc. - Conklin NY
Endicott Interconnect Technologies, Inc. - Endicott NY
International Classification:
G08B001/08
US Classification:
340572800, 340572700, 235492000
Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) device (or “tag”) for containing specific information relating to a particular good being shipped from one location (e.g., warehouse) to another (e.g., customer). The device includes a circuitized substrate (e.g., a printed circuit board), a semiconductor chip, an antenna and a power regulator, and is designed in one embodiment to be partly inserted within a good (e.g., a cardboard box) containing one or more of the goods being shipped and tracked. Alternatively, the device may be attached by other means (e.g., adhesive). A shipper can simply track the goods containing such devices using wireless communication devices (e.g., satellites) to quickly and readily ascertain the specific location of the goods at any time as well as the appropriate desired information relating to such goods (e.g., quantity, weight, type, etc.).
