First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tag comprising a single integrated circuit chip that includes:
- a first receiving antenna that receives an electromagnetic wave;
a signal receiving system that receives and stores input data derived from the wave;
a converter system that receives the wave and converts the wave to an electric charge;
a separate power storage component that receives and stores the electric charge to use the charge to power the integrated circuit; and
a data processing system that produces output data from the input data;
a circuit that sends at least a portion of the output data to a second transmission antenna;
wherein the second antenna transmits at least a portion of the output data externally to the tag.

Abstract
An application specific integrated circuit chip includes capacitors and antennas. The antennas receive energy from an outside source, and charge capacitors on the chip in order to provide power to the chip itself. The chip in turn communicates by antenna to outside receivers for the purposes of identification of the chip and hence a bag or article to which it is attached. The chip is attached to its article by means of glue which is in turn applied by an applicator which shoots the chip and the glue against the article.
