Abstract:
Various methods and apparatus embodiments involving RFID are disclosed. One method embodiment, among others, includes receiving an excitation signal at a rotary switch associated with a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and a radio frequency (RF) masking material, and orienting the RF masking material with respect to all RFID tags such that a RFID tag is rendered detectable by a nearby RFID reader.

Claim (Index 7):
A rotary radio frequency (RFID) switch, comprising:\n a first member comprising a disk-shaped metallic material onto which a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are coupled such that their centerpoints are equidistant from adjacent RFID tags; a second member comprising a disk-shaped metallic radio frequency (RF) masking material, the second member being in rotational relationship around a common axis and flush against the first member, the common axis extending through the first member and the second member; a plurality of indentations in the second member, a number of the indentations in the second member being at least one less than a number of the plurality of RFID tags coupled to the first member, the plurality of indentations being configured to cover a portion of the plurality of RFID tags when the second member is flush against the first member; a cutout in the second member, the cutout being configured to reveal at least one of the plurality of RFID tags coupled to the first member when the second member is flush against the first member; and wherein the first member and the second member are configured to rotate about the common axis, the first member and the second member being configurable to be separated by a distance when rotated, the distance being greater than a height of the plurality of RFID tags.
