1. A tag comprising:
- radio frequency RF means for generating a radio frequency signature that identifies the tag;
wherein said RF means comprises,a container; and
at least one first element disposed within said container and displaceable relative to said container;
wherein,displacement of said first element within said container generates said radio frequency signature;
said container comprises a plurality of second elements fixedly disposed along a path within said container; and
movement of said at least one first element along said path generates a series of RF pulses as a function of at least quantity and width of said second elements, which RF pulses identify the RF tag.

Abstract
An RFID tag includes a plastic container having at least one particle that is disposed therein and that is formed from metal or metal coated and/or fabricated from a plurality of different metals. A receiver unit detects RF pulses which are generated by the Triboelectric effect of the particles.

8. A radio frequency RF tag, comprising:
-
a container; and at least one first element disposed within the container and being free to move within said container;
whereinmovement of said at least one first element within the container causes a contact between surfaces within the container, which contact, when broken, generates an RF signal due to the Triboelectric effect; and said RF signal is a function of configuration of said container and of said at least one first element, and identifies said tag. - View Dependent Claims (9)
