Methods and apparatuses for the protection of radio frequency identification (RFID) devices are described. In one aspect, a static dissipative material is applied to a web of antenna structures. A coating of the static dissipative material is applied continuously across a plurality of antenna structures of a roll of the web material. An RFID integrated circuit (IC) is attached to the web of antenna structures with the dissipative coating, then subsequently tested on the roll. Additional processing is performed to the RFID tag to produce an RFID label.

Radio frequency identification static discharge protection

A key ( ) includes a transceiver core ( ) that couples to antenna electrodes that include all or part of a key shank ( ) and an electrically conductive surface ( ). The transceiver core ( ) utilizes these electrodes ( and ) to capacitively transceive information with a reader ( ). The reader ( ) may, in turn, utilize all or part of a keyed lock cylinder ( ) as an antenna electrode.
