Abstract: An IC module for installation in a portable data carrier and for electrical connection with an electronic device located in the data carrier supports at least two different connection technologies. It carries for this purpose contacting elements having a first set of contacting pads for a first connection technology and a second set of contacting solder areas for a second connection technology. A contacting pad of the first set of contacting pads in each case is connected electroconductively to a contacting pad of the second set of contacting pads. The connection can preferably be electively effected by a pressure-form technology or by means of connection wires as a soldered connection.

Abstract: A portable data carrier (2) and a method for its production, including an apparatus (4) for storing and processing data, an antenna (6) for transmitting energy and information which is connected to the apparatus (4), as well as a plastic surrounding the apparatus (4) and the antenna (6), where the plastic of the portable data carrier is transparent or partially transparent and the antenna (6) has at least one security feature.

Abstract: A data carrier configuration method and apparatus are disclosed. The data carrier configuration including an electronic data carrier and a transport carrier. The transport carrier has a top surface and forms a recess, the area of the recess having an opening of a length and width sized to accommodate passage of the electronic data carrier. The recess has a depth that is substantially similar to the thickness of the electronic data carrier. The transport carrier serves as a base upon which the electronic data carrier will releasably attach.

Abstract: A data carrier configuration includes a card-like carrier having a recess and an electronic data carrier in the form of an IC card which is removably mounted in the recess. The data carrier has an arrangement for fastening on an object. Methods for the production of such a configuration include making the carrier rigid and the IC card flexible, so that introduction of the data carrier into the recess and removal of same from the recess are possible via unrolling of the electronic data carrier. The fastening arrangement is in the form of a self-adhesive layer, which is covered by a removable protective layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable data carrier (2) and a method for its production, consisting of an apparatus (4) for storing and processing data, an antenna (6) for transmitting energy and information which is connected to the apparatus (4), as well as a plastic surrounding the apparatus (4) and the antenna (6), characterized in that the plastic of the portable data carrier is transparent or partially transparent and the antenna (6) has at least one security feature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a data carrier comprising a one- or multilayer card body in which an electronic module is embedded. The layers of the card body consist of paper and/or cardboard and are interconnected for example by thermally activable adhesive or contact adhesive. The cards can be produced by continuous technology, the individual card layers being supplied from endless rolls, provided with the necessary windows for receiving the modules, and finally interconnected. The modules are inserted in the resulting gaps. The individual cards are punched out.

Abstract: In a multilayer data carrier, an electronic module is provided in a corresponding opening or gap in at least one layer. For filling the remaining cavity after installation of the module in the gap, one provides on a layer adjacent the gap or on the layer containing the gap or directly on the electronic module a material preferably applied by printing technology and having a softening point lower than the softening point of the layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data carrier, in particular an identity card, paper of value or the like, having applied thereto a plane element (OVD) with optically variable effects which are dependent on the viewing angle. Within at least a predefined area of the OVD there is additional information provided between the OVD and the surface of the data carrier in the form of characters, patterns or the like which, subsequently incorporated into the OVD, overlays the optically variable effect of the OVD and is likewise visually recognizable. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a data carrier.
