A method of manufacturing an RFID tag assembly, the method comprising: providing a mounting base made of an electrically conductive material; providing a passive mount-on-metal RFID tag, the RFID tag comprising an IC chip and an antenna provided on one side; mounting the RFID tag on the mounting base with said one side of the RFID tag coupled to the mounting base, to form an RFID tag-mounting base sub-assembly; providing a mold tool comprising a mold cavity shaped to form a cover of the RFID tag assembly and locating the RFID tag-mounting base sub-assembly within the mold cavity; and delivering a substantially RF transparent material in a molten state into the void between the mold tool and the RFID tag-mounting base sub-assembly and allowing the material to cool into a solid state to form a cover over the RFID tag-mounting base sub-assembly, such that the mounting base and the cover together encapsulate the RFID tag. The substantially RF transparent material has a temperature in the molten state on delivery into the void that is higher than a maximum tolerable temperature of the IC chip and the molten material is delivered into the void at a position removed from IC chip. The IC chip position such that the temperature of the molten material does not exceed the maximum tolerable temperature of the IC chip when the substantially RF transparent material reaches the IC chip.

Method of manufacturing an RFID tag assembly and RFID tag assembly

An RFID tag assembly () comprising: a passive mount-on-metal RFID tag () comprising an integrated circuit chip and an antenna provided on one side () of the RFID tag; a mounting base () made of an electrically conductive material; and a cover () made of a substantially RF transparent material and defining a recess (), wherein the RFID tag is mounted on the mounting base with said one side of the RFID tag coupled to a first side of the mounting base and wherein the cover is arranged over the RFID tag such that at least part of the RFID tag is located within the recess and the cover is fixed to the mounting base, such that the mounting base and the cover together encapsulate the RFID tag.

A beverage dispenser to provide a plurality of different flavors with accurate mixing control comprises a housing () containing a diluent valve (A,B) and at least two concentrate valves (A, B, C, D), each valve having its own inlet () and outlet (), characterized in that all the outlets () lead to a single dispense nozzle (A, B, C), a flow rate sensor () is provided for each valve, the flow rate sensors () being connected to a controller (), and a setting mechanism (A, B, C, D, E, F) is provided to open and close each valve, the controller () operating the setting mechanisms whereby one concentrate valve and the diluent valve may be opened to dispense a particular beverage and, in response to the sensed flow rates through those opened valves, controlling the degree of opening of those valves to achieve a predetermined diluent to concentrate ratio for the beverage mixture in the dispense nozzle (A, B, C).
