Abstract: In identification devices having a contactlessly readable data carrier (20) equipped with an antenna (17), the antenna (17) assigned to the data carrier (20) is formed by an electrically conductive part of the identification device (10) with a slit (18) provided therein, making the antenna (17) an integral component of the identification device (10), and making a separate antenna (17) redundant.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the use of a handling device, which is preferably configured as a data robot, in order to assemble embossing tools for embossing the desired character sequence into a blank. The handling device preferably also serves to position the respective blank in front of the embossing tools assembled in accordance with the desired character sequence and/or to center or orient the embossing tools with respect to the blank. The method and apparatus can be used in connection with the production of motor vehicle license plates in which an individual character sequence is embossed into a blank.

Abstract: An identification plate, in which at least one security sign is arranged within the contours of a cover layer. As a result, the security sign is embedded in the cover layer and thus becomes an integral component of the identification plate. Such a security sign can no longer be removed from the identification plate. The identification plate according to the invention thus offers as much protection against manipulation as possible.
