Article with retroreflective and radio frequency-responsive features
First Claim
1. A vehicle identification window sticker comprising:
- a retroreflective article having an optical surface; and
a radio frequency-responsive element attached to the retroreflective article, wherein the radio frequency-responsive element comprises an antenna and an integrated circuit, wherein the radio frequency-responsive element has information storage and transmission capabilities adapted to enable an interrogation system to obtain information from the radio frequency-responsive element, wherein the radio frequency-responsive element comprises an exposed surface and an adhesive disposed on the exposed surface, the adhesive having an adhesive strength sufficient to tear the radio frequency-responsive element when the vehicle identification window sticker is adhered to a vehicle window by the adhesive and subsequently removed from the vehicle window.

Abstract
The present disclosure includes a system that provides visual and electronic information in a readily identifiable system. For example, the present disclosure is directed to a combination tag, suitable for use as a vehicle identification window sticker. The combination tag includes a retroreflective article having an optical surface and a radio frequency responsive element. The radio frequency-responsive element includes an antenna and an integrated circuit. The radio frequency-responsive element has information storage and transmission capabilities adapted to enable an interrogation system to obtain information from the radio frequency-responsive element. The radio frequency-responsive element is operably coupled to the retroreflective article.
