Abstract: A system is provided for managing information in relation to a pet animal carrying subcutaneous electronic identification device, said system including: A reader, which reads a piece of identification information contained in the electronic identification device; at least one scale, which measures at least one physical datum associated with the animal; a device for storing and/or transmitting the at least one physical datum, while taking the identification information into account. The reader is built into the scale.

Abstract: Token including a plastic cover having an external surface and a base engaging surface. A plastic base has an external surface and a cover engaging surface, the base being attached to the cover. An axial spacing projection maintains a space between the base and the cover, the axial spacing projection being disposed on the cover engaging surface of the base and including a first height. The axial spacing projection further includes one of a continuous ring and a discontinuous ring. A closure ring disposed on the base engaging surface of the cover comprises one of a continuous ring and a discontinuous ring. A peripheral annular region includes a space having a second height and is disposed adjacent an edge of the token, the peripheral annular region being defined by the axial spacing projection. The first height is approximately equal to the second height.

Abstract: A gaming or casino token or chip includes a thick flat plastic body 12 provided with a circular through hole 14 in which an electronic identification element is placed. The casing 16 of the device is protected by two protective wafers 18 and 20. The permanent integration of the casing 16 in the body 12 is supplemented by attaching, for example by laminating, a plastic covering sheet 22 and 24 in each face 19 and 21 of the body 12. This forms a monobloc rigid assembly for the electronic identification device 15. Device 15 includes a memory which stores identification codes and an inductively coupled transmitter-receiver equipped with an antenna.

Abstract: The gambling chip 10, having the general shape of a disc, includes two identical half-discs 11 and 12 in contact via axial spacing rings 21 and 22 respectively located on their internal faces. The half-discs 11 and 12 made of rigid plastic are fastened together by injection of a plastic seal 14 on the edge 35 of the chip into a peripheral annular region 16 lying between the two half-discs 11 and 12. The half-discs 11 and 12 have a central recess 26, 27 forming an internal central region 28 taking an electronic identification device 30 embedded in a wafer based on epoxy resin.
