Patent number: 11934179Abstract: A card manufacturing system includes a locating device and a separation device. A laminate sheet comprising a plurality of cards is received by the locating device and is imaged using first and second imaging modalities. The first imaging modality identifies a location of each of the plurality of information carrying cards within the laminate sheet and the second imaging modality images at least one graphic formed on a surface of the laminate sheet. A position of the at least one graphic with respect to at least one information carrying card is determined and the plurality of cards are removed from the laminate sheet using information corresponding to the location of each of the plurality of information carrying cards when the position of the at least one graphic with respect to the information carrying cards is within a predetermined range.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Idemia America Corp.Inventor: Mark A.

Publication number: 20240046727Abstract: Various electronic credentials comprising signal activation are disclosed. An electronic credential core comprises a controller configured to maintain an off-state until activated by a received signal during a personalization process. The electronic credential core further comprises an antenna configured to receive a first signal. The energy in the first signal is harvested by a signal interface. The signal interface generates a second signal using the harvested energy of the first signal. The second signal is provided to the controller. The controller transitions to an active state and continuously performs one or more functions until an onboard battery is depleted. By maintaining an off-state until personalization, the electronic credential can be stored without draining power from the battery, extending the shelf life of the electronic credential.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: X-Card Holdings, LLCInventor: Mark A.

Publication number: 20240045041Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method executed by a processor for navigating a moving vehicle through an environment. The processor captures the environment with a first sensor mounted on the moving vehicle to create first sensor data with a second sensor mounted on the moving vehicle to create second sensor data. The processor then determines a first trajectory of the first sensor and a second trajectory of the second sensor. The processor then estimates the spatial relationship between the first sensor and the second sensor based on the first trajectory and the second trajectory and uses the estimated spatial relationship to combine the first sensor data and the second sensor data into a combined multi-sensor representation of the environment. Finally, the processor navigates the moving vehicle based on the combined multi-sensor representation of the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventor: Mark COX
