  • Patent number: 10643116
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system and/or a device for contactless encoding and printing of a triple interface smart card through a near-field network. In one embodiment, a triple interface encoding device includes a production controller communicatively coupled to an object encoding array, an object conveyor transport, and an object encoding server. The production controller may detect a sequence of target objects and associates it with one of a plurality of user accounts. The object encoding server configures the object encoding array to contactlessly encode the target object. Further, the object encoding server configures target object feeder to automatically deploy a number of target objects equal to a number of contactless encoders of the object encoding array onto the conveyor belt of the object conveyor transport spaced at corresponding repeat positions as the number of contactless encoders. Furthermore, object encoding server configures the conveyor belt to position the target objects.

  • Patent number: 9487027
    Abstract: A method of single pass inkjet method of applying an adhesive to a substrate to bond a foil material to the substrate is disclosed. The inkjet printer includes a printer head to pattern an adhesive material directly onto a printable substrate and a foil material. An ultraviolet curing lamp is included to cure the adhesive material using a dry lamination process and/or a wet lamination process. A nip roller is included to affix the foil material with the adhesive material onto to the printable substrate. A rollback mechanism is assembled to lift away excess foil material from the printable substrate and the excess foil material is adjacent to fully cured areas of the adhesive material having the affixed thereupon the foil material.
