Abstract: A dual interface transaction card for contact and contactless transactions includes a top metal layer having an upper surface and a bottom surface. The transaction card may also include a magnetic platform, and the magnetic platform may include a magnetic layer and a thermoplastic perimeter layer. The magnetic layer includes an upper surface, a bottom surface, and a periphery extending between the bottom surface and the upper surface of the magnetic layer. The thermoplastic perimeter layer surrounds the periphery of the magnetic layer. The transaction card also includes an antenna package layer.

Abstract: A dual interface transaction card for contact and contactless transactions including an anodized top metal layer. The arrangement of layers allowing for high conductivity metals such as aluminum to be used without compromising the contactless function of the card.

Abstract: A card includes a metallic card body having a front face, a rear face, and a peripheral surface extending between the front face and the rear face, and either a rear beveled peripheral surface or a front beveled peripheral surface. The rear beveled peripheral surface extends around the metallic card body where the rear face meets the peripheral surface and is colored to cover a metallic color of the metallic card body, and the front beveled peripheral surface extends around the metallic card body where the front face meets the peripheral surface and is colored to cover the metallic color of the metallic card body.

Abstract: A transaction card includes an anodized card body having a front and rear face. Various information and security features may be provided on the front face and on the rear face. A magnetic stripe may be provided on the rear face of the anodized card body. The magnetic stripe may be adhered within a slot formed within the rear face of the anodized body. Alternatively, the magnetic stripe may be provided via an overlay that is adhered to the rear face of the anodized body, and the magnetic stripe may be integral with the overlay or adhered to the overlay after the overlay is applied to the anodized card body. The transaction card may also include a hologram. The hologram may be integral with the overlay or may be applied to the overlay that has been arranged on the anodized card body.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of late out-growth endothelial progenitor cells (L-EPCs) as a cellular substrate for the generation of Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This may be useful in the production of patient-specific tissues for disease modelling, drug and toxicology screening, tissue replacement and delivery of gene therapy.
