A method for automatically electronically associating vessel identity information of a vessel with an unassociated telemetric device, the unassociated telemetric device comprising a processor and being configured to detect and transmit quantity or usage data and being configured with a location sensing device, wherein the unassociated telemetric device is configured to communicate with a remote server, the method comprising the steps of: the remote server receiving the vessel identity information comprising a deployment location for the unassociated telemetric device; the unassociated telemetric device operating in accordance with an automatic action rule; in response to the unassociated telemetric device operating in accordance with the automatic action rule, the processor receiving location information of the unassociated telemetric device from the location sensing device; the unassociated telemetric device transmitting the location information; the remote server receiving the location information; the remote server correlating the location information with the vessel identity information when resolving that the location information represents that the unassociated telemetric device is within a proximity to the deployment location, and the remote server automatically electronically associating the unassociated telemetric device with the vessel identity information, resulting in the unassociated telemetric device becoming an associated telemetric device, so that when the associated telemetric device generates quantity or usage information, the quantity or usage information transmitted by the associated telemetric device is applied to a data store of the remote server related to the vessel identity information.

A system may include a payment card that includes one or more chips that are operable to utilize information in a payment transaction to enact different functions. For example, a payment applet in a contact chip transaction (e.g., contact EMV transaction) or contactless chip transaction (e.g., contactless EMV transaction) may utilize information that flows through the chip (e.g., country, time, date, transaction amount, approval status) to trigger pre-stored messages or functions (e.g., switch to a payment option or account). Information may be introduced into the chip during a transaction as a result of manual input from the cardholder on the cardholder's phone or other device. Thus, transaction scripting (e.g., EMV scripting) may be utilized to let a card (e.g., static or powered) know that a function (e.g., change of account) is desired by a cardholder and the chip may, if not in the proper account, reset and restart the chip in a mode associated with the desired function (e.g., in the desired account).

A card or other device may include two or more contact chips, each contact chip associated with a different payment method.

Real time scalable loyalty processing apparatuses and/or systems operable to process up to ten thousand transactions per second and more than one billion transactions annually, and having a sub-second response time.

A detection activity of a card may be sensitive to property changes in one or more conductive pads on the card and/or information received by the card, where a processor of the card may execute a transaction indication algorithm based on detected property changes on the card, that may be caused by the card's proximity to a point-of-sale terminal and/or by information received by the card. The transaction indication algorithm may cause the processor to provide visible, audible and/or tactile indicators on the card based on the detection.

A wallet card or other device includes three buttons, a PCB antenna for connection to all cellular bands including low band, mid band and high band, dual pressure sensors operable to determine velocity and/or as an independent trigger, a cellular chip whose encryption/decryption key between a payment network and the cellular chip is dynamically changeable for security, and a dynamic magnetic communications device operable to communicate data using a magnetic data waveform with amplitude adjusted by the device.

A device for processing a document includes a processing device for providing a document to be processed with information when this is in an effective range of the processing device with information; and a traversing device with a document carrier device that can be traversed along a trajectory. The traversing device is configured to receive a document to be processed at a transfer position of the device on or at a document-carrying surface of the document carrier device; to move the received document into the effective range of the processing device for its processing and out of the effective range of the processing device after its processing. The document carrier device is traversed at least in sections, at least with respect to a direction of movement component along a specific (first) direction of movement, which runs orthogonally to a plane defined by three different points on the document-carrying surface.

A label is applied to a barrel containing liquid. The label includes an electronic chip, which includes a first layer as a support layer, a second layer as an electronic chip layer, and a third layer as a customization layer. The electronic chip layer includes at least an electronic chip and an antenna connected to the electronic chip. The customization layer includes at least one metal sublayer made of a metal material. Each of the layers has two faces, and the three layers are placed one above the other in a stacking direction. The thickness of the metal sublayer along the stacking direction is less than or equal to 35 m.

Aspects described herein may allow for prompting a user to access an on-line tool to create an identification element to be added to an exterior surface of a personal card. A server device may prompt the user to select a location for the identification element from a plurality of pre-selected locations on the personal card, each of the plurality of pre-selected locations being proximate edges of the personal card and outward of any of magnetic strips, chips, text, photos, and images on the personal card. The server device may modify an exterior surface of the personal card to include the identification element at the selected location, and deliver the personal card to the user.

A wireless tag processing device includes a wireless tag reader-writer and a processor configured to acquire first and second sets of parameter values, control the reader-writer to transmit a radio wave using each parameter value of the first set and acquire a first intensity of a response wave from a wireless tag, when a highest first intensity satisfies a first condition, determine a parameter value of the first set corresponding to the highest intensity as a parameter value to be used by the reader-writer, and when the highest intensity does not satisfy the condition, control the reader-writer to transmit a radio wave using each parameter value of the second set and acquire a second intensity, and when a highest second intensity satisfies a second condition, determine a parameter value of the second set corresponding to the highest second intensity as the parameter value to be used by the reader-writer.
