  • Publication number: 20090073802
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of assembling an implantable miniature transponder (1) comprising an elongate tubular plastic enclosure (2) having a first end (6) of a cylindrical wall (4) defining a first circular open mouth (7), and a transponder unit (11). The method comprises the steps of inserting said transponder unit (11) into the enclosure (2), externally touching the first end (6), in particular being exposed to heat, with a forming tool (21a; 21b), and completely closing the first end (6) by reducing the width of the first mouth (7) by means of deforming the first end (6) inwards with the forming tool (21a; 21b) until the first mouth (7) is totally closed. In a further embodiment, a relative rotation between the enclosure (2) and the forming tool (21a; 21b) is caused. Further, the invention relates to a transponder (1) with a completely closed plastic enclosure (2), having a closed first end (6) and a closed second end (8), being a single thermoplastic piece.

  • Patent number: 7455402
    Abstract: The invention relates to foldable spectacles comprising two lenses (1a, 1b) which can be adjusted between a support position and a folded position and which are connected to each other by means of a nose piece (10). The nose piece (10) extends on a connecting axis (I) which is arranged on a plane of the spectacle lens and comprises a folding joint (15) which is used to fold the spectacles. The folding joint (15) can be rotated about a rotatable axis (m) which extends at an acute angle (?) to the connecting axis (1), such that the spectacle lenses (1a, 1b) are arranged on the same plane next to each other in a folded position after a 180° rotation.

  • Publication number: 20070296597
    Abstract: RFID tag system for a carpet (1), having a first side (1a) intended to lean on a floor and a second side (1b) opposite to the first side (1a), comprising an RFID tag (2) and a support (3) for housing and protecting the RFID tag (2), placed on the first (1a) or second (1b) size of the carpet (1). The RFID tag system comprises means (4) coupling to the support (3) and fixing it to the first (1a) or second size (1b); the carpet (1) is interposed between the support (3) and means (4). The support (3) comprises a first portion (3b) including a seat (3g) for housing the RFID tag (2). The first portion (3b) also comprises means (3a) for covering and protecting the RFID tag (2) when inserted in the seat (3g). The support (3) comprises a second portion (3c) including a pin element (3c) intended to be inserted through a hole (1c) of the carpet (1) while the first portion (3b) lays on the first side (1a). A size of the first portion (3b) is greater then a size of the hole (1c).
