  • Publication number: 20090251283
    Abstract: A property management system includes: a management server for managing a property item by a non-contact IC medium; a gate apparatus for reading medium information from the non-contact IC medium; and a destruction apparatus for destroying the property item. Gate passage permission/non-permission information is stored on the management server or the non-contact IC medium and, when destroying the property item, the destruction apparatus transmits the medium information to the management server to perform a destruction completion registration. The gate apparatus includes: a determination device for determining whether the gate passage permission/non-permission information represents permission or non-permission based on the medium information; and a passage prohibition device for prohibiting passage when the determination result is non-permission.

  • Publication number: 20090207976
    Abstract: A container for preventing stealage of information recorded in a medium such as a card and compatible with security check conducted by X-rays at an airport or the like. A portable pouch is of a bag-like shape and produced by base clothes, on which a laminated film is laminated. The laminated film is a film including an aluminum foil layer and a resin layer laminated on each other. The aluminum foil layer is set up to have a thickness so as to transmit X-rays and an electromagnetic wave of an extremely high-frequency range and to shield an electromagnetic wave of a high-frequency range. The protection film shields an electromagnetic wave generated from a card and prevents leakage of the electromagnetic wave, thereby avoiding skimming. Further, the protection film transmits X-rays, thereby being compatible with X-ray check at an airport or the like.

  • Publication number: 20090201601
    Abstract: A magnetic data eraser includes a power supply circuit, a receptacle for accommodating a magnetic recording medium or a device incorporating a magnetic recording medium, primary and secondary coils wound around an outer periphery of the receptacle. The primary coil is connected to the power supply circuit. The secondary coil is short-circuited. Excitation of the primary coil through energization by the power supply circuit generates an induced current in the secondary coil, thereby making an interaction between the primary and secondary coils. The interaction generates an alternating magnetic field, whereby the magnetic recording medium is degaussed, so as to erase magnetic data recorded in the medium.

  • Publication number: 20090067150
    Abstract: A laminated film (protection film for preventing leakage of information) is laminated on each of base clothes of a portable pouch. The laminated film is formed by lamination of an aluminum foil layer and a resin layer. The portable pouch has the laminated film over the inner surface thereof, whereby electromagnetic wave does not leak outside. That avoids skimming.

  • Patent number: 7396583
    Abstract: A transparent and conductive laminate that is substantially decreased in reactive defects, and a display filter, a heat-ray reflecting film and an electromagnetic wave-shielding film comprising the laminate are provided. The laminate includes a transparent substrate, a transparent conductive thin-film layer containing silver, and a protective layer containing a binder material and inorganic fine particles, wherein the transparent conductive thin-film layer is in contact with the protective layer. The generation of reflective defects can be outstandingly reduced. Therefore, a laminate superior in electromagnetic wave-shielding ability, heat-ray reflecting ability and visibility for a long period of time and products comprising the laminate can be obtained.
