  • Systems and methods to define possible ESD risk
    Patent number: 8608070
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing test procedures for measuring and defining the sensitivity of payment devices to ESD (electrostatic discharge) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a plurality of test equipment in a controlled environment are used to measure the peak discharge current (Ip) when a payment device is inserted into a charge/discharge device during several simulated conditions. Energy levels of the discharge currents are calculated using an energy calculation program. One or more reference current and energy levels are determined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2013
    Assignee: Visa International Service Association
    Inventors: Mustafa Top, Stanley Weitz, Sonia Reed
  • Payment terminal ESD test
    Patent number: 8474696
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing test procedures for measuring and defining the sensitivity of payment terminals to ESD (electrostatic discharge) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a plurality of test equipment in a controlled environment are used to measure the peak discharge current (Ip) when a payment device is inserted into a payment terminal during several simulated conditions. Energy levels of the discharge currents are calculated using an energy calculation program. One or more reference current and energy levels are determined.
