Filed:

Oct 26, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/973642

Inventors:

- Norcross GA, US
Michael E. Borgna - O'Fallon MO, US

International Classification:

G06K 19/077
B29D 30/06
G06K 19/02
B60C 19/00

Abstract:

An RFID mesh label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to further provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and/or post-vulcanization, the RFID mesh label including a face layer configured to be positioned adjacent or flush to an outer surface of the vulcanized tire; an RFID layer positioned underneath the face layer, the RFID layer having an RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire upon being read with an RFID reader; and a mesh backing overlying the RFID layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process.

Appl. No.:

17/290862

Inventors:

- Norcross GA, US
Michael E. Borgna - O'Fallon MO, US
Jos Uijlenbroek - Ophemert, NL

International Classification:

G06K 19/077
B32B 25/08
B32B 7/12

Abstract:

Disclosed are pre-cure RFID-enabled bead labels based on an RFID inlay construction consisting of an aluminum antenna etched on to a high temperature resistant polyimide film that is connected to an integrated memory circuit positioned on the surface of the polyimide film. This RFID inlay being further inserted into an overall label construction having a plurality of layers that include, for example, a plurality of polyester layers and a plurality of high temperature resistant adhesive layers that bond/adhere layers together, the plurality of layers further protecting and insulating the RFID inlay while the label is bonded to the external bead (or sidewall) of a tire. The compositions/devices disclosed herein can be used for electronic identification when applied on rubber-based articles (e.g., tires) prior to being subjected to stress related to the vulcanization process and normal use of this article during the manufacturing process.

International Classification:

B29D 30/00
G06K 7/10
B60C 19/00

Abstract:

A chemically treated, RFID equipped mesh tire label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and post tire vulcanization, the label comprising: a mesh face layer configured to be adhered to an outer surface of an unvulcanized tire; a mesh backing layer attached to the mesh face layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process; and an RFID device affixed between the mesh face and mesh backing layers, the RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information upon being read with an RFID reader during and post tire vulcanization.
