- the tag 20 of the present invention enhances microwave safety. Since the current tag 20 is envisioned to be used in the culinary art, it is necessary that the tag be resistant to microwave energy. As mentioned earlier, it is envisioned that customers may accidentally place this tag in their microwave ovens which may create a safety hazard. In particular, as is known, microwave ovens emit microwave energy which will induce an electric current through a circuit within the microwave field. In the case of a security tag, the current will be induced along the antenna trace. When the voltage becomes great enough the electric current can arc across the antenna traces creating sparks, heat, and possibly fires. The tag 20 of the present invention addresses this problem to create a microwave safe tag that can function after being exposed to microwave energy.
- the tag In addition to generating a microwave safe tag, the tag has several unique uses.
- the tag of the current invention can be created with plastics of varying rigidity and melting temperatures. Different plastics have varying advantages in terms of safety, flexibility, and cost. Polypropylene is the preferred material for the tag.
- the tag 20 of the present invention is designed to work with foods of all types. A major reason RF tags have not become commonplace in the food retail industry is many tags contain toxic chemicals.
- the tag 20 of the present invention is devoid of any such materials.
- One preferred use of this tag is in the meat packing industry.
- the tag 20 can potentially be packaged with the meat by placing onto the foam meat tray. Additionally, the tag 20 may be attached to a plastic wrap of the food product, e.g., the wrap that surrounds and protects the meat and tray.
- this tag 20 can be used with any food product whether or not the food can be microwaved. Non-limiting examples of some of these uses are in cereal, candy, dairy, products, chips, and noodles.
- the tag 20 is non-toxic, even when heated. Moreover, the tag 20 uses plastic materials which do not emit noxious fumes when heated, do not form noxious liquids when melted, and do not contaminate foods in any manner.
- the materials used to construct the tag are F.D. A. approved materials for use with food products. In the event the tag is heated in a conventional oven, the tag will melt slightly and become inactive, but will not damage the food.
- the tag 20 of the current invention also has a polymeric layer sandwiching an RF circuit.
- the tag of the current invention is water-resistant or waterproof.
- the tag 20 comprises a first coil layer 22 comprising a single open loop and a second coil layer 24 also comprising a single open loop that are separated by a dielectric layer (e.g., any polymer) 26 that matches the shape of the first and second coil layers 22/24.
- a dielectric layer e.g., any polymer
- the term "single open loop" means that the trace forms only one loop (e.g., there are no concentric inner or outer coil loops as there are in Fig. 4); and whereby the trace has endpoints that are not connected; these coil layers may comprise any conductive material, preferably aluminum, copper, etc.
- First 28 and second 30 adhesive layers are then applied to the respective coil layers 22/24.
- the first and second coil layers 22/24 are electrically- coupled at contact points 22A and 24A by a crimping action that pierces the dielectric layer at region 26A.
- large capacitor plates 4OA and 4OB are used; region 26B of the dielectric layer 26 forms the dielectric between these capacitor plates 40A/40B. It should be understood that the majority of the capacitance is distributed capacitance that is provided by the combination of the single open loop conductive traces 22/24 sandwiching the dielectric layer 26; the large capacitor plates 40A/40B provide a tuning provision for the tag 20.
- each coil layer trace 22/24 comprises three elbows (42-46) and is connected to a respective capacitor plate 4OB and 4OA, respectively.
- An elbow 42, 44 and 46 is defined as a change in direction of the trace of at least 60 degrees.
- the elbows 42-46 typically have a radius of curvature of .15 in.
- Each of the capacitor plates 4OA and 4OB form a fourth elbow of the respective coil layer trace (22/24), thereby giving the traces 22/24 a square appearance.
- the pair of traces 22/24 are separated by a dielectric layer 26.
- plastic membrane or layers 32/34 encapsulate the tag 20.
- Polypropylene is one preferred material for the tag 20 of the present invention because it is a FDA-approved material suitable to be used in conjunction with microwavable foods. Another advantage of polypropylene is that it is flexible and can be used in lamination devices easily. Depending on the attributes needed, various plastics could be substituted for polypropylene. Some uses of this tag 20 may require a more flexible or rigid plastic, or one providing more waterproofing capabilities.
- the tag 20 of the present invention was originally designed for use with the meat packing industry. Meat is an expensive product in retail stores and has widely not been successfully protected by RF technology. The delicate RF circuitry does not work if it is exposed to blood or water. Additionally, most conventional tags cannot produce a strong enough signal when covered with the meat product.
- the plastic casing (e.g., layers 32/34) of the tag 20 provides a novel solution to this problem and allows the tag 20 to be hidden in the soaker pad (also known as "towelette") found under most meat products. It is contemplated that this tag 20 could be placed adjacent the towelette. Additionally, meat products without towelettes can be protected.
- the general method for packaging the meat product is therefore encapsulating a tray, the tag, the towlette, and the meat with a plastic wrap. The most preferred embodiment is having the wrap sealing the meat in the tray, with a tag on the top of the wrap.
- Fig. 3 depicts the tag 20 positioned in between a soaker pad 10 that is formed by an upper portion 1 OA and a lower portion 1 OB.
- Each soaker pad portion comprises an absorbent paper layer 11 in contact with the polypropylene layers 32 and 34.
- the absorbent paper layer 11 is then covered by a perforated polypropylene layer 12.
- Fig. 6 provides an overall view of a packaged meat product showing the position of a soaker pad 10 including the tag 20 of the present invention disposed therein.
- the soaker pad 10 is positioned inside a tray (e.g., polystyrene) or holder 13.
- the meat product 14 is then placed on top of the soaker pad 10.
- a transparent cover (e.g., cellophane or shrink wrap, etc.) 15 is then secured over the meat product 14 and sealed to the tray 13.
- the tag 20 may comprise a part of the label that specifies the product details for the customer; the label is typically bonded (e.g., adhesively-secured) to the transparent cover 15.
- the tag 20 may be adhesively secured to the label (or alternatively, may be formed as a part of the label, etc.), as shown in Fig. 7.
- the tag of present invention can be used to protect other products that are currently very difficult to protect because of moisture, health concerns, or microwave safety.
- An embodiment of this tag can be created with a waterproof seal that allows that tag to remain submerged in a liquid, such as wine or milk. This would provide a tag that cannot be removed, while providing all the benefits of RF protection, and without damaging the product.
- tags of this invention can be used in dairy products, cereal, frozen foods, bread, and pastas. While these foods can be protected by using conventional RF technology, limitations of those tags prevented the tags from being placed in direct contact with the food because of signal strength problems, health problems, or microwave safety.
- the tags of the current invention fulfill the long-felt need to solve these problems, and can effectively protect consumable items in a way not previously possible.
- the preferred dimensions of the tag 20 are selected to give maximum output of the tag 20 while solving the four problems surrounding the RF food protection industry. These problems are microwave safety, waterproof capability, protection of the food from tag contamination, creation of a tag that can minimize the effects of RF interference caused by the food.
- the following dimensions are disclosed by way of example only, and in some cases the dimensions could be modified in order to satisfy particular food product needs but without deviating from the scope of the invention.
- the dimensions of the tag 20 are approximately 1.72 inches by 1.72 inches.
- the width (also referred to as "line width") of the first coil layer 22 is approximately 0.20 inches; the line width of the second coil layer 24 is approximately 0.26 inches.
- the conductive trace (i.e., coil layer) width should be at least 1/10 of the length of the tag 20.
- the capacitor area is 0.2191 square inches.
- the thickness of layer 24 is approximately 50 microns and the thickness of the layer 22 is approximately 38 microns.
- the thickness of the dielectric layer 26 is approximately 2.5 microns.
- the frequency the tag 20 returns the resonant signal is 8.2 MHz.
- the Q of the tag ("quality factor," which is a measure of frequency selectivity or sharpness of the peak of a resonant circuit) is approximately 88-90.
- the assignee of this application namely, Checkpoint Systems, Inc., of Thorofare, NJ, has established a "gold standard'Or reference which one can compare the performance of the tag 20 of the present invention.
- the gold standard is the measure of a transceiver's measured signal strength of a Series 410 tag, sold by Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (see Table 1, as well as Figs. 3-4) versus the tag 20 of the present invention.
- an RF tag returns a certain EM-field when it is energized by a transmitter.
- the strength of a magnetic field is measured in Gauss or Teslas.
- the magnetic field generated by the tag induces a current across an inductor which resides in the antenna of the receiver.
- the induced current is run across a load which creates a voltage difference across the load. This voltage should be approximately 1 GST (gold standard tag) for a series 410 tag.
- the tag of the current invention generates a signal 1.7 times more powerful than the Series 410 tag.
- the tag 20 of the current invention has a power of 1.7 GST because the transceiver measures a 1.7 voltage difference for this tag and 1.0 GST for a series 410 tag.
- Width of margins .1 in.
- one of the key features of the tag 20 of the present invention is that enhances microwave safety.
- a tag is placed inadvertently inside of a microwave oven (e.g., the user forgets to remove the food packaging which contains the security tag)
- the tag will be energized by the applied microwaves.
- Energy is stored in the tag's capacitor and throughout the traces (the antenna.) Because the traces have a resistance (though minor) there is a voltage difference between one trace and another. If the tag receives a large amount of energy, as it would if it were microwaved, the small distance between the traces and large voltage difference may cause electric arcing to occur. This can lead to fires if the electrical arc comes near or into contact with a flammable substance.
- the tag 20 of the present invention is designed to have only one trace.
- a very thick trace 50 (Fig. 1) is used.
- the elbows 42-46 of the layers 22/24 are rounded rather than pointed.
- Microwave energy is characterized as "high intensity” which is defined as energy greater than 1100 watts, and prolonged exposure greater than four minutes (limited exposure is a time of less than three minutes).
- high intensity is defined as energy greater than 1100 watts, and prolonged exposure greater than four minutes (limited exposure is a time of less than three minutes).
- limited exposure is a time of less than three minutes.
- the Assignee of the present invention engaged a testing and certification company, namely, TUV Rheinland of North America of Youngs ville, North Carolina, a certification company, to prepare a novel test of the tag 20 of the present invention. It is believed that before then, there was no standard test for the microwave safety of a security tag.
- the microwave test involves using different styles of meat that are cut into 0.5 Ib (beef) and 1 Ib (pork & chicken); the poundage being determined by the amount of moisture content within that particular meat.
- the tag 20 of the present invention is placed on the outside or inside the soaker pad of each meat package and then they are packaged using Styrofoam meat trays and shrink-wrap. The packages are then placed in a freezer for a 24 - 48 hour period. Every cut and style of meat has a minimum of 3 duplicates (one for each type of microwave).
- the meat product including the tag 20 on the label is then placed in (three packages, same weight, cut & style) and is placed into three different microwaves (see microwave types & power levels below) for 3 minutes on high power (i.e., the maximum power level of the microwave oven).
- the test is considered a success, if after 3 full minutes at high power in the microwave the tag 20 of the present invention has not arced or sparked. This test is performed roughly 80 times per microwave type (3 types see below) or 240 total tests.
- Microwave Oven Wattage /cu ft - all testing must be performed using each of the following microwave specifications (or configuration):
