Patent number: 10479128Abstract: A security document with unidirectional visual illumination is disclosed. A security feature is positioned within the document and not visible in normal ambient lighting conditions but becomes visible under specialized lighting conditions, for example in the presence of ultraviolet light. The security feature is constructible such that it is visible only from a single side of the security document, with the side being predeterminable regardless of the orientation of the specialized light.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventor: Brett Barton Erickson

Patent number: 10471761Abstract: A transaction card includes a first full thickness portion and a second, reduced thickness portion. Each of the first and second portions includes a top surface and an opposing bottom surface spaced from the top surface by a thickness of the card. The first, full thickness portion includes an extent of the card that remains exposed when the card is inserted into a pocket of a card-carrying case, and a feature deviating from a flat region along at least one of the top surface and the opposing bottom surface of the card. The feature is configured for tactile engagement to facilitate removal of the card from the pocket.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Daniel Herrington, Scott McClellan

Patent number: 10474939Abstract: A dynamic transaction card that is manufactured using conductive plastic jumpers that will dissolve when in contact with a solvent used to tamper with the dynamic transaction card. Internal components of a dynamic transaction card may be manufactured using a synthetic or semi-synthetic organic material, such as, for example, plastics. These materials may be conductive to provide functionality to a dynamic transaction card, such as a connection between an integrated circuit and other card components such that when the materials dissolve, the connections are broken and the dynamic transaction card may be inactive due to the loss of various connections.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLCInventors: David Wurmfeld, James Zarakas, Theodore Markson, Saleem Sangi, Tyler Locke, Kevin Kelly

Patent number: 10452967Abstract: A multi layered card embodying the invention includes an outer layer of an amorphous laser reactive copolymer material which is embossed with a selected pattern at a selected temperature which is above the glass transition temperature, Tg, of the copolymer and below its melting temperature, Tm. So embossed, the selected pattern is set in the copolymer layer, and its external shape cannot be changed from the embossed form to which it was set at the selected temperature, without destroying the selected pattern. The outer layer may be laminated with the other layers of the card and laser engraved before or after lamination.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: COMPOSECURE, LLCInventors: John Herslow, Adam Lowe, Luis Dasilva

Patent number: 10395157Abstract: A method for producing a smart card module arrangement includes: arranging a smart card module on a first carrier layer, wherein the first carrier layer is free of a prefabricated smart card module receptacle cutout for receiving the smart card module. The smart card module includes: a substrate; a chip on the substrate; a first mechanical reinforcement structure between the chip and the substrate. The first mechanical reinforcement structure covers at least one part of a surface of the chip. The method further includes applying a second carrier layer to the smart card module, wherein the second carrier layer is free of a prefabricated smart card module receptacle cutout for receiving the smart card module; and at least one of laminating or pressing the first carrier layer with the second carrier layer, such that the smart card module is enclosed by the first carrier layer and the second carrier layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Frank Pueschner, Thomas Spoettl, Jens Pohl, Peter Stampka
