Patent ID: 8777112

Claim:
A RFID structure comprising: a planar gasket layer with a tensile modulus value less than 5 GPa, the gasket layer defining a perimeter including one or more guide indentations; a loop antenna assembly positioned within the gasket layer, the loop antenna including an antenna track, and at least two contact pads, wherein the loop antenna assembly surrounds an area that is more than at least 10% of a total area defined by an outer perimeter of the gasket layer; an integrated circuit unit coupled to the at least two contact pads; a first object including a first mating surface and defining a first hollow channel; and a second object including a second mating surface and defining a second hollow channel, the second mating surface parallel and adjacent to the first mating surface such that the first hollow channel is aligned with the second hollow channel, wherein the gasket layer is positioned between the first and second mating surfaces such that a hole in the gasket layer couples the first and second channels.
