Abstract
The present invention provides an intermediate attachment mechanism, called a powerposer (10), which includes at least one power source (16) coupled to an integrated circuit (14), at least one integrated circuit, which is arranged to store a code comprising information and powered with energy provided by the power source and a substrate (12) on which the at least one power source and the at least one integrated circuit are disposed, and wherein the substrate comprises connection means (22) for connecting to an application device and attachment means for attaching to the application device. Further, the present invention provides a battery assisted or active RFID transponder featuring a transponder substrate, at least one antenna disposed on the transponder substrate and a powerposer disposed on the transponder substrate. Still further the present invention provides methods of production of a powerposer and an active or battery assisted RFID transponder comprising a powerposer.
