A dielectric layer comprising an embossed surface and a flat surface which is located at a side opposite to the embossed surface is provided. The plane that approximates the flat surface is the X-Y plane, and the normal direction to the X-Y plane is the Z direction. The embossed surface has inclined surfaces that are inclined with respect to the Z direction, and the inclined surfaces reflect incident light incident on the dielectric layer and emerge reflected light. The elevation angle, which is an angle between the inclined surface and the X-Y plane, is . The refractive index of the dielectric layer is n. These values satisfy Formula (1): sin (1/n)<sin 2.

Disclosed embodiments pertain to a payment card with an integrated door. A top layer can be affixed to a bottom semirigid layer. The top layer can include a first portion attached to the front face of the bottom layer and a second portion, or door, coupled to the first portion in a manner that allows the second portion to rotate to and from an open position and closed position. The bottom layer can include a cardholder name, account number, expiration date, and security code hidden from view when the door is in the closed position. A fastener can also be added to secure the door in an open position, closed position, or both. In one embodiment, the payment card can include an antenna for contactless transactions, and the door's position can control the antenna's availability for wireless communication.

A polymer composite device comprises a first thermoplastic covering layer of a polymer material with a first softening temperature and a second thermoplastic covering layer of a polymer material with a second softening temperature. The polymer composite device also comprises a carrier layer, which is arranged between the first covering layer and the second covering layer. An inner layer, which comprises at least a first thermoplastic inner layer ply of a polymer material with a third softening temperature, is arranged between the first covering layer and the second covering layer. The inner layer at least partially surrounds the carrier layer in a material-bonding manner. The third softening temperature is lower than the first softening temperature and lower than the second softening temperature.

A heated indenter is provided for indenting a personalized document to create a security impression thereon. The personalized document includes but is not limited to, identification cards, driver's licenses, credit and debit cards, and the like. The security impression can provide a visible or tactile security feature that can be recognized by one with little or no training. The security impression causes a laminate layer of the document to tear or disfigure when attempting to remove the laminate layer from a substrate of the document.

The present invention is a system and method for the attachment of a tracking sensor or identification device placed on an object without the need for an attachment tool or fasteners such as adhesives, rivets, screws, or bolts. Through the interaction of the attachment device and the particular portions of the object to which it is attached as to secure the device to the object using tension between the device and object due to the device having flexible prongs which grip the object when properly located on the object.
