  • Patent number: 9697446
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a set of security documents. Each security document within the set having an optical code, notably a barcode, which is neither connected nor coupled to any electronic chip that may be carried by the security document. The optical code on each security document within the set encodes the same information for the same optical reader. Each security document having different respective electromagnetic signature, these signatures being unique to each of the security documents.

  • Patent number: 9660366
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device (4) for connecting a radio frequency circuit (3) or component printed on a flexible support (2) to a coaxial cable, comprising: —a first part (14) suitable for being disposed against a first face (5) of the support (2) on which the circuit or the component (3) is printed, the first part (14) comprising a recess capable of housing a coaxial cable connector (13), —a second part (15) capable of being disposed against a second face (6) of the support (2), opposite the first face, and in which the first part (14) and/or the second part (15) comprises attachment means for attaching the first part (14) and the second part (15) to each other, the flexible support (2) being clamped between the first part (14) and the second part (15), in such a way as to maintain an electrical contact between the connector (13) and the circuit or component (3).

  • Patent number: 9455769
    Abstract: An RFID communication system comprises an interrogator including a signal generator for generating an interrogation signal at a predetermined frequency f0 and a first interrogator antenna for transmitting said interrogation signal and receiving a first reply signal at a frequency f0, and processing means, and a passive transponder including a first transponder antenna for transmitting said first rely signal and receiving said interrogation signal and a chip comprising nonlinear components for generating said first reply signal in response to the interrogation signal. The interrogator is arranged to receive a second reply signal whose frequency is a multiple of the predetermined frequency f0, said multiple being either odd or even, said second reply frequency being generated by the nonlinear components of the transponder chip, said first and second reply signals being processed by the processing means of the interrogator in order to complete or improve the functionality of the system.

  • Patent number: 8556184
    Abstract: A chipless RFID tag comprises a plurality of disjoint parallel conducting bands formed on a dielectric support, in which conducting bridges interlink neighboring conducting bands, the conducting bridges delimiting, between the conducting bands, portions of dielectric bands of distinct lengths, each portion of dielectric brand determining a resonant frequency of the tag, the set of resonant frequencies of the tag defining an identification code.

  • Patent number: 6185033
    Abstract: A Pockels-effect electro-optical modulator including a light guide having a core made of an inorganic amorphous material, and on which a structure is superposed that is made up of two electrode-forming layers between which an electro-optical polymer is interposed, said modulator being characterized in that said structure is superposed directly on the material of the core of the light guide. The transitions between the active and passive zones are advantageously adapted to minimize losses.
