Systems and methods are described related to using flexible circuity in a payment device. In one embodiment, a payment device comprises a computing device and a memory. The computing device is configured to store a biometric identifier associated with a transaction account. The computing device is configured to at least receive, by the antenna, an interrogation signal from a point of sale (POS) device in order to activate the payment device for a payment transaction. The computing device is configured to determine a scanned fingerprint identifier of a user based at least in part on the interrogation signal activating the payment device and authenticate the scanned fingerprint identifier by matching the scanned fingerprint identifier to the biometric identifier. The transaction account is transmitted to the POS device for processing the payment transaction based at least in part on the authentication of the scanned fingerprint identifier.

Disclosed is an apparatus for an application including a core device for the application. The apparatus includes a power (preferably RF energy) harvester connected to the core device to power the core device. Also disclosed is a method for an application. The method includes the steps of converting RF energy into usable energy. There is the step of powering the core device with the usable energy.

A transaction card having a discontinuous metal stratum with a desired degree of electrical eddy current disruption disposed on a surface of a first layer, such as a glass or other transparent layer. A transaction module disposed in the first layer is electrically isolated from the discontinuous metal stratum. The discontinuous metal stratum may include a plurality of isolated metal features that form a halftone pattern, such as a pattern that is visibly opaque to the naked eye.

The invention relates to classic car restoration services systems and methods, and, more particularly to classic car restoration services interfacing systems and methods allowing classic car facilities and enthusiasts to document, represent to prospective buyers, acquire classic cars and to facilitate their restorations.

The invention concerns a RFID label for marking containers or equipment, preferably in a laboratory environment and including in particular cylindrical bottles, vials, syringes, etc., by adhering the RFID layer to a surface thereof. The RFID label has a flat flexible support material base (11), at least one RFID microelectronic device (5c) included in the flat support material base (11), and at least one antenna (5a,5b) connected with the at least one RFID microelectronic device (5c) and included in the flat support material base (11). The flat support material base (11) has a number of predefined cuts (8) distributed about its outer periphery and/or the at least one RFID microelectronic device (5c) includes a tamper detection function and a conductive loop (5d) connected with tamper detection function terminals of the RFID microelectronic device (5c) is included in the flat support material base (11).

The invention provides a card substrate for carrying a chip module, the card substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a concave portion for accommodating the chip module, the concave portion includes a first concave portion, and a second concave portion further recessed from a bottom wall of the first concave portion, in a left-right direction, a size of the second concave portion gradually narrows from a middle to both sides, and in an up-down direction, the size of the second concave portion gradually narrows from the middle to both sides. The card substrate of the invention can provide good support and protect for the chip module.

In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a storage device is provided, comprising: a capacitor configured to be charged; a charge circuit configured to charge said capacitor; a pass device coupled between the charge circuit and the capacitor; a control circuit configured to control said pass device; a photosensitive diode coupled between the control circuit and the pass device, such that an input voltage provided by the control circuit to the pass device is reduced if the storage device is exposed to light. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding method of producing a storage device is conceived.

The operational parameters of a respiratory apparatus can be controlled through the use of a user interface located on a separate or separable mobile computing device. Sensors or features located on the mobile computing apparatus can be used to adjust the operation parameters or therapy of the respiratory apparatus or otherwise improve the compliance of a patient utilizing the respiratory apparatus.

A high speed tabletop and industrial printer is disclosed with integrated high speed RFID encoding and verification at the same time. The industrial printer simultaneously prints on and electronically encodes/verifies RFID labels, tags, and/or stickers attached to a continuous web. The industrial printer comprises a lighted sensor array for indexing the printing to the RFID tags; and a cutter powered from the industrial printer for cutting the web that the RFID tags are disposed on. The industrial printer comprises two RFID reader/writers that are individually controlled. Specifically, one of the RFID reader/writers comprises the ability to electronically encode the RFID tags while the web is moving; and the second RFID reader/writer uses an additional RFID module and antenna on the printer for verifying the data encoded to the RFID tags.
