21. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag system comprising:
-
a first portion that is configured to be secured to a component, wherein the first portion includes;
(a) first antenna contacts, (b) a first indicia that, when exposed, indicates that the RFID tag system is deactivated, and (c) one of an RFID chip that is configured to store data regarding the component, or an antenna that is configured to transmit the data to an RFID reader, wherein the data is one or both of encrypted or password protected; anda second portion that removably couples to the first portion, wherein the second portion is configured to disconnect from the first portion, wherein the second portion includes;
(a) second antenna contacts, (b) a second indicia that differs from the first indicia, and wherein the second indicia indicates that the RFID tag system is active, and (c) the other of the RFID chip that is configured to store data regarding the component, or the antenna that is configured to transmit the data to the RFID reader,wherein the RFID tag system is active when the first portion is coupled to the second portion, wherein the first antenna contacts electrically connect to the second antenna contacts when the first portion is coupled to the second portion and allow transmission of data from the antenna, and wherein the RFID tag system is deactivated when the first portion is disconnected from the second portion. - View Dependent Claims (22)
