Abstract: An insert assembly, insertable in a handpiece of a medical device, has an insert having an insert metal tang, a ferromagnetic layer in contact with the insert metal tang, a dielectric layer in contact with the ferromagnetic layer, an insert antenna in contact with the dielectric layer, having an insert antenna metal element and configured to receive and transmit electromagnetic fields, and an identification chip operatively connected to the insert antenna and configured to transmit information about the insert assembly. The ferromagnetic layer reduces or cancels attenuation and/or distortion phenomena of an electromagnetic field caused by parasitic effects due to interaction of a transmitted or received electromagnetic field with metal parts of the insert metal tang, liquids present in the insert, and the insert antenna metal element. The ferromagnetic layer dielectric layer and insert antenna form a transceiver device putting the identification chip in communication with a handpiece antenna.

Abstract: A method for authorizing access to a motor vehicle involves monitoring a decrease in the signal strength of the second communication connection, while the identification transmitter is moved away from the motor vehicle, such that the spacing between the motor vehicle and the identification transmitter increase. The current signal strength of the second communication connection is stored as a reference value as soon as the first communication connection between the motor vehicle and the identification transmitter is deactivated/interrupted. The first communication connection is reactivated as soon as the signal strength of the second communication connection exceeds the stored reference value due to the decreasing spacing between the motor vehicle and identification transmitter when the identification transmitter is moved towards the motor vehicle again.

Abstract: A vehicle is immobilized when a personal identifying device of an authorized vehicle user in proximity to the vehicle is not authenticated and an intended use of the vehicle is detected.
