  • Patent number: 11052584
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method to embed a label essentially consisting of a paper substrate carrying electronic inks and/or a printed electronic circuit and/or device (thereby achieving a paper-based electronic circuit) directly into a moulded plastic piece (also designated as plastic object), the embedding of the paper-based electronic circuit and the production of the plastic piece being performed in a single operation. The invention thus also relates to a method to manufacture plastic objects embedding such label. The invention also concerns a plastic object encompassing a label essentially consisting of a paper substrate carrying electronic inks and/or a printed electronic circuit and/or device (thereby achieving a paper-based electronic circuit) embedded in the moulded plastic and in particular an object obtained by the method disclosed to prepare a moulded plastic piece.

  • Publication number: 20200187350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paper-based printed electronic device comprising one or more sheets of paper that is impregnated with a resin in way to fill the voids (or pores) of porous networks of cellulose fibers and in particular to saturate said porous networks of cellulose fibers, as well as to coat the outer surfaces of the printed electronics with said resin. A fully encapsulated electronic device is obtained which is protected against external environmental and physical damages such as against moisture and oxygen and has acquired sufficient resistance to tearing. The impregnated and encapsulated electronic device can then be successfully integrated into an object in a form of a flat or curved monolithic structure. This may especially be achieved through a lamination process, as said device sustains high pressure, high temperature, does not create bubbles, does not delaminate, and can be fully embedded into an end product.

  • Patent number: 8339469
    Abstract: A process for using a terminal capable of capturing images to determine a probability of capturing the images according to information taken from contextual data provided by the image capture means. The process uses a terminal such as a mobile terminal comprising a first image data sensor and at least one contextual data sensor to automatically determine at least one probability of capturing an image or a sequence of images taking place within a time interval, the capture probability being calculated based on at least one response provided by one of the activated image data and/or contextual data sensors.
