Non-reusable identification device
First Claim
1. An identification apparatus comprising:
- a band of material;
a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuit disposed in the band, the RFID circuit comprising;
an antenna; and
a transponder chip, disposed adjacent to the antenna and cooperating therewith for emitting and receiving a wireless signal; and
an electrically conductive loop directly connected to the antenna, the electrically conductive loop forming an electrically conductive continuous path along substantially the entire length of the band.

Abstract
A non-reusable tamper-resistant identification device, such as may be fastened around a limb of a user. A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuit is disposed in a band of material, such as is suitable for use as a wristband. The RFID circuit comprises an antenna and a transponder, disposed adjacent the antenna and cooperating therewith for emitting and receiving a wireless signal. An electrically conductive loop forms at least a portion of a connection between the antenna and the transponder. In addition, the electrically conductive loop forms a continuous conductive path along substantially the entire length of the band. The conductive loop is preferably frangible and easily broken in response to an attempt to remove the band from the wearer'"'"'s limb.
