  • Patent number: 9379755
    Abstract: The invention relates to a SIM (2) card in a first format, with an electronic module (4). The card body comprises a score line (6) surrounding the electronic module (4) in order to define the second card format (3). The said score line (6), comprises residual matter thickness that is smaller than the thickness of the card body. The thickness of the residual matter comprises a first thickness (9) over a first part of the score line (6), at least one second thickness (10) smaller than the first thickness (9) over a second part of the score line and at least one residual thickness change zone (11, 17), where the said thickness change zone is a gradual thickness change zone (11, 17) that goes from the first thickness to the second thickness.

  • Patent number: 7726578
    Abstract: A card body comprises a first card body (ID-1 card 1), a second card body (plug-in card 2) and a third card body (mini card 3). The first card body has a first shape (ID-1 shape). The second card body comprises a second shape (plug-in shape). The first card body encompasses the second card body. The third card body comprises a third shape (mini shape). The second card body encompasses the third card body. The third card body has a cavity for receiving an electronic module. A first boundary separates the first shape (ID-1 shape) from the second shape (plug-in shape), and comprises a first number of apertures (5, 6, 7, 17, 18) and a first number of notches (19 and 20) defining a first mechanical inter-card body coupling strength (link between ID-1 card 1 and plug-in card 2).
