RFID
tags that do not contain a silicon chip are called chipless tags. These
chipless tags could eventually be printed directly on products and packaging
for 1¢. Far more versatile and reliable, the tags could replace 10 trillion
barcodes per year. This article reports some of the findings from a new study
on the topic.
With the miniturization of packaging in areas such as electronics, medical devices and wafer fabrication, spatially controlled, precise-deposition of adhesives or adhesive-like materials into increasingly smaller spaces has become critically important.
Rhode Island-based KVH Industries turns to another local company, Epoxies, Etc., to provide an electrically conductive polymer and a structural adhesive for an innovative new antenna design.
