  • Patent number: 8973834
    Abstract: A secured identification document has at least two flexible layers embedding an electronic module. The electronic module includes a flexible substrate on which are positioned an antenna and a radiofrequency microcontroller storing identification data. The radiofrequency microcontroller is electrically connected to said antenna. The secured identification document has the at least two flexible layers locally joined together by means of a chemically and mechanically tamper proof material that is applied in cavities that are distributed in each of said at least two flexible layers that surround the electronic module in order to make the electronic module interdependent with the at least two flexible layers.

  • Patent number: 8487828
    Abstract: A document with a cover having a first cover part, a second cover part, at least one internal page located between the two cover parts when the document is closed, a radiofrequency microcontroller, an antenna electrically connected to the radiofrequency microcontroller, and an electromagnetic shield capable of disrupting, at least partially, the wireless communication with the radiofrequency microcontroller when the document is closed and not disrupting the wireless communication when the document is opened. The electromagnetic shield is a wire grid. The wire mesh distance between each two adjacent wires of the wire grid is smaller than a radio-frequency wavelength used for communicating with the radiofrequency microcontroller, and is at least 0.1 millimeters and at most 40 millimeters.

  • Patent number: 7726578
    Abstract: A card body comprises a first card body (ID-1 card 1), a second card body (plug-in card 2) and a third card body (mini card 3). The first card body has a first shape (ID-1 shape). The second card body comprises a second shape (plug-in shape). The first card body encompasses the second card body. The third card body comprises a third shape (mini shape). The second card body encompasses the third card body. The third card body has a cavity for receiving an electronic module. A first boundary separates the first shape (ID-1 shape) from the second shape (plug-in shape), and comprises a first number of apertures (5, 6, 7, 17, 18) and a first number of notches (19 and 20) defining a first mechanical inter-card body coupling strength (link between ID-1 card 1 and plug-in card 2).

  • Publication number: 20060134887
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit element from a silicon wafer, the silicon wafer having an active face and an inactive face, a passivation layer being deposited on the active face, where the method includes: an organic-layer-depositing step, in which an organic layer is deposited on the inactive face of the silicon wafer using a spin coating technique to obtain a sandwich-like structure, the passivation layer and the organic layer having substantially the same thickness, and a wafer-sawing step, in which a slice of the silicon wafer is sawed so as to obtain a several integrated circuit elements.
