Patent number: 7726578Abstract: A card body comprises a first card body (ID-1 card 1), a second card body (plug-in card 2) and a third card body (mini card 3). The first card body has a first shape (ID-1 shape). The second card body comprises a second shape (plug-in shape). The first card body encompasses the second card body. The third card body comprises a third shape (mini shape). The second card body encompasses the third card body. The third card body has a cavity for receiving an electronic module. A first boundary separates the first shape (ID-1 shape) from the second shape (plug-in shape), and comprises a first number of apertures (5, 6, 7, 17, 18) and a first number of notches (19 and 20) defining a first mechanical inter-card body coupling strength (link between ID-1 card 1 and plug-in card 2).Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2005Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Axalto SAInventors: Alexis Froger, Denis Groeninck, Alain Le Loc'h, Dorothée Nerot, Yves Reignoux, Francois Roussel, Stéphane Provost

Publication number: 20090065917Abstract: A card body comprises a module-receiving part (3) having a cavity for receiving an electronic module ML. The card body comprises a first side part (4) coupled to the module-receiving part (3), the first side part being separated from the module-receiving part by a first separation line (6), and a second side part (5) coupled to the module-receiving part (3), the second side part being separated from the module-receiving part by a second separation line (7). The module-receiving part defines a third shape corresponding to a third card body (3) type when the first (4) and second (5) side parts are detached from the module-receiving part (3). The module-receiving part defines a second shape (2) corresponding to a second card body type when the first (4) and second (5) side parts are coupled to the module-receiving part (3).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2005Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: Axalto SAInventors: Guillermo Geva, Alain Le Loc'h, Stephane Provost, Francois Roussel, Sylvain Torlet

Patent number: 7028910Abstract: The invention concerns a method of manufacturing a module intended to create a portable object with chip and antenna. The portable object comprises an antenna and a chip placed on an insulating substrate. The antenna comprises a plurality of turns. The method comprises a first step in which an insulating substrate with at least one side is provided. The method is characterised in that it further comprises a second step in which an individual housing opening in the said side is made for each of the said turns and a third step in which said antenna comprising a plurality of turns is made by placing a conducting material in each individual housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2002Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Schlumberger, SystemesInventors: Yves Reignoux, Joseph Leibenguth, Stephane Provost, Jocelyne Chesneau, Fabrizio Serra
