Abstract: A device is constructed for processing or customizing cards or flattened portable objects, for example memory cards, smart card, magnetic strip card, or badge. The device is characterized in that it comprises a flexible or rigid mobile transport structure (1) bearing at least transport means (2) for receiving at least a card (9) in at least a supply station (39) and carrying the cards to one or several processing stations (3). The transport device (2) is mobile relative to the transport structure (1) and enables the card to be displaced towards the processing station (3) or to be displaced inside said station, or a combination of both, without leaving said transport structure.

Abstract: This invention relates to a high production rate machine for personalization (2) of integrated circuit modules (510, . . .

Abstract: The present invention relates to a linear personalization machine comprising a transfer system (3) for portable objects (4), incorporating an integrated circuit, characterized in that it comprises a personalization elevator (20) translated vertically and sequentially on a guide support (70) by driving end positioning means (29, 73, 28, 75, 72), said elevator (20) being made up of a parallelepiped plate (23) fitted wits a plurality of connection devices whether or not mixed type (22i, 22n) connecting to the integrated circuit of portable objects (4) that are brought in sequential manner in front of an incoming/outgoing station or the transfer line.

Abstract: This invention relates to a high speed customizing machine which has a device for transferring portable objects and incorporates an integrated circuit having at least one memory, and a rotary platform equipped with a plurality of hybrid connection devices, positioned transversely to the transfer device and each linked to an electronic card. Each electronic card enables customization of each chip card and is positioned in front of each connection device.

Abstract: A high-speed personalization machine has a portable object transfer device for transporting objects that incorporate an integrated circuit which contains at least one memory. The machine has a turning plate whose axis of rotation is inclined or parallel with respect to a transfer line and the plate is equipped with a number of connecting devices and an electronic card that is associated with each connecting device. Each electronic card is connected to a computerized management system and is arranged radially with respect to the turning plate so that the computerized personalization management system makes it possible to manage personalization of all of the cards.

Abstract: A transportable object having, in a plastic support, a cavity for receiving a micromodule unit containing a conductive chip with zones electrically insulated from one another and to which is electrically connected an integrated semiconductor circuit having at least a storage function. The cavity has a contour shaped in a sequence of contiguous arcs of small amplitude relative to a median contour line of a shape matched to the shape of the chip. The contour of the cavity forms a clearance angle of 10 degrees relative to a direction perpendicular to the surface of support.
