Abstract: An interactive core for use in making electronic cards has rear and front adhesive layers which surround a stiffening spacer which has an interior opening in which electronic components (e.g., a PCB, battery and display) are located along with thermosetting polymeric material. A battery contained within the interior opening can be activated from an off state to an on state via use of an initialization antenna which can also be configured to allow a CPU to be customized for personal use.
Abstract: A sheet with registration holes cut in it is mounted to a surface of a pallet so that its registration holes are held taught by the outer diameter of bushings while an inner diameter pin shaft of the bushings is used by registration pins during multiple manufacturing process to provide registration of the sheet.

Abstract: A process for placing a circuit array on a sheet having adhesive during a pick and place operation in which a vacuum is used during its placement to minimize air bubbles between the adhesive layer and the circuit array.
Abstract: Method for broadcasting a magnetic stripe data packet from an electronic card by measuring a swipe speed of the electronic card past a magnetic reader head during a swipe of the electronic card past the magnetic reader head and then adjusting a broadcast signal containing the magnetic stripe data packet according to the measured swipe speed so that the magnetic stripe data packet in the broadcast signal is read by the magnetic reader head during said swipe. The swipe speed is measured by a speed sensor such as a capacitive sensor having an outer detection point and an inner detection point.
