Abstract:
Data storage devices include storage circuitry configured to store data; a first substantially planar card portion comprising the storage circuitry; an electrical interface electrically connected to the storage circuitry and located on one side of the first card portion; and one or more additional substantially planar card portions positioned below the other side of the first card portion and positioned parallel to one another and parallel to the first card portion. The combined thickness of the first card portion and the one or more additional card portions is sufficient to make contact with both an electrical interface of an electrical communications receptacle and a shell portion of the receptacle when the first card portion and the one or more additional card portions are inserted into the communications receptacle.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic device comprising a substrate having a surface and a compartment structure provided on said surface and comprising a frame and a film sealingly covering the frame. There is at least one component provided inside said compartment structure on said surface. The housing structure enclosing the component is embedded in a layer of material. The device can be a smart card.
Abstract:
A passive transponder inlay (6) of a radio frequency identification (RFID) device (1), including: an annular-shaped aerial formed of a coil of wire bonded in the form of a solid ring (10); and, an electronic circuit (11) attached thereto.
Abstract:
A USB device for a ring binder includes a main body including a first and a second opposing substantially planar surface so as to be easily accommodated in a ring binder. The main body has a cavity formed therein. A USB element is positioned within the cavity of the main body. A narrow flanged portion extends from the second planar surface of the main body. The narrow flanged portion includes a plurality of spaced openings extending therethrough. At least one of the openings is so sized to provide access to selected rings of a ring binder.
Abstract:
Consumers and patrons of service establishments often carry a plurality of plastic cards with bar codes affixed to them. Devices and methods are provided that permit a user to carry one device rather than a plurality of cards, and for business to capitalize on the ease with which these devices may be used.
Abstract:
An RFID transponder comprising an RFID module (10) including an IC and a matching and coupling elements and a plastic enclosure (6). An electromagnetic transmission line is coupled to the IC, said electromagnetic transmission line capable of making a galvanic, a capacitive or an inductive coupling between the IC and an external metal object so that said external metal object is able to function as an antenna of the RFID transponder.
Abstract:
A radio frequency identification connector is configured and arranged to retrofittably connect a radio frequency identification device to a device such as a fall protection and fall arrest safety device. The connector assembly comprises a housing (101) including a base (102) and a cover (134). The base includes a cavity configured and arranged to receive the radio frequency identification device (150), the cover configured and arranged to engage the base to secure the radio frequency identification device within the cavity. The assembly further comprises a flange (120) extending outward from the base, the flange including an aperture through which a fastener is inserted to connect the housing to the device. The assembly further comprises a bore extending through the identification device and the housing, the bore configured and arranged to receive a fastener to connect the housing to the device.
