Two RFID developments have emerged from a partnership between Hyan Microelectronics
Co. Ltd. (Shenzhen, China) and Paralec Inc. (Rocky Hill, N.J.). An anti-counterfeiting
smart label using a printed silver antenna affixes inside or outside a product
package. The label breaks instantly if someone tries to remove it. The smart
labels are engineered to ISO 14443 A/15693 standards and operate at a recommended
frequency of 13.56 MHz. They have a user-programmable memory of 512 bits (model
14443) or 1 kbit (model 15693). Their first commercial application will be in
cell phones. The second design is RFID-based transit tickets with crease-proof
antennas. The unique manufacturing process creates antennas that can be pulled
and bent but continue to function. Contact the companies for price and availability.
