  • Patent number: 6972663
    Abstract: A method for detecting portable objects from a network of N antennae controlled by a centralized management unit. Signals are simultaneously emitted by the management unit to all antennae. Resulting response signals from antennae that have detected a portable object are received by the management unit. Each object thus detected is successively selected from these signals according to a pre-established sequence. The invention applies in particular to access control.

  • Patent number: 6452563
    Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement for an antenna (A) having the general shape of a loop, directly in the proximity of at least a metallic element (10). The invention is characterised in that each metallic element (10) comprises an orifice (18) arranged substantially opposite the surface defined by the antenna (A), and a slot (16) forming a gap width, arranged through the thickness of the metallic element (10), between the internal edge (21) delimiting the orifice (18) and the external edge (20) of said metallic element (10). The invention is applicable to scanners and radio frequency communication devices.

  • Patent number: 6215455
    Abstract: A shielded magnetic-field antenna has at least one turn of a metallic element and metallic tubular shielding positioned around the element. The turn (3a) is produced in a printed circuit on a card made of insulating material (4a). The shielding has two open rings (5a, 6a) each produced in a printed circuit and disposed respectively on a bottom card (9a) and a top card (10a) made of insulating material. The cards are assembled by gripping the turn between the top and bottom cards. A plurality of metallic vias (7a, 8a) connect side edges of the two rings. The vias extend through the cards, and are positioned around the turn.
