Abstract: The watch with a metallic case including an electronic module for storing data, which is mounted in an external cavity in the back cover of a case. The module can communicate via broadcast signals with a read and/or write apparatus for said data. The module includes a base on which are mounted an integrated circuit chip having at least two bumps and a coil acting as a transmission and/or reception antenna. The coil is formed by an electrically conductive wire having two ends respectively connected to said bumps of said integrated circuit chip. The coil surrounds a space in which said chip is placed. The dome-shaped base of the electronic module is a metallic element that conducts magnetic flux to insulate the module coil magnetically from the metallic case during data communication between a read/write apparatus and said module. The base of the module can be covered by a protective cover.

Abstract: A device for inscribing an object, including a laser emitter for emitting at least one laser beam and an arrangement of diverting means for directing the at least one laser beam from the exit point of the laser emitter to a focal point on the object, wherein, in one embodiment, each laser beam is assigned to a diverting means, depending on the exit angle of the laser beam from the laser emitter so that at least two sides of the object my be inscribed and, in another embodiment, the diverting means is movable so that at least two sides of the object may be inscribed by movably arranging the diverting means.

Abstract: The card with microcircuits of this invention includes an electronic module having standardized electrodes. To make up this module a first unit is fabricated including a first insulating substrate covered by the electrodes. Under each electrode is located a first hole. Next there is fabricated a second unit which includes an integrated circuit chip the connection terminals of which are coupled to conductors printed onto a second insulating substrate. One of the free ends of each conductor falls directly over a second hole provided in the second insulating substrate. The arrangement is such that the first hole is coaxial with the second hole corresponding thereto when the units are superposed. The two units are then assembled by superposing them and soldering the free ends of the conductors of the second unit to the electrodes of the first unit by introducing a soldering tool into the second hole. The module is employed in particular in a microcircuit card of standardized dimensions.
