A method of personalization for at least two cards (), each card including a first side, a second side, and a peripheral surface, includes the following steps: forming a pile () of at least two cards by stacking the first side or the second side of an article (n) such that the first surface or the second surface of the following card (n+1) is in contact with the first side or the second side of the card (n); aligning, via an alignment device () at least one element of the peripheral surface of the card (n) with at least one element of the peripheral surface of the following card (n+1) such that at least one element of the set of peripheral surfaces of each card forms at least one uniform surface; applying, via an application device, at least one product on at least one element of the uniform surface.

An electronic entity includes a module formed of a support film carrying, on an internal face, a microcircuit and a first coupling coil, and a body including a cavity in which this module is fixed, the support film having an external surface running at least approximately alongside an upper surface of this body, and containing an antenna and a second coupling coil connected to this antenna and intended for the coupling of the antenna with the microcircuit by electromagnetic coupling with the first coupling coil; this second coupling coil (likewise may be the case for the antenna and the first coupling coil) is formed on a thickness of at most a few microns in a plane situated, with respect to the upper surface of the body, at a distance of less than half the distance with respect to the surface opposite from this upper surface of this body.

Electronic entity with coupling integrated between a microcircuit and an antenna and method of fabrication

A device for providing protection against non-authorized use of an electronic system including an antenna, the device comprising a first switch suitable for inhibiting the operation of the electronic system, the first switch being arranged as a short-circuit between at least two turns of the antenna. Additional implementations include an electronic system including such a protection device.

A method for producing a number of chip cards includes a step for preparing a supporting film comprising a number of locations each of which constituting a card support and being provided with a cavity capable of receiving an integrated circuit, a step for processing this supporting film carried out, in part, by a multi-head tool, one of the heads of this tool being provided for carrying out an operation on a location of the film essentially at the same time as another head of this tool carries out the same operation on another location of this film, and a step for separating the locations after the processing step.

Method for producing a number of chip cards

To mount a microcircuit module in a cavity in a card forming a support, resin is deposited on the bottom of the cavity and the module is fitted in such a way that the microcircuit is coated with resin. A compressible annular area formed in the cavity completely surrounds the microcircuit and the coating material. The annular area extends over a continuous peripheral area of the bottom of the cavity.

Method for mounting a microcircuit in a cavity of a card forming a support and resulting card

A method of fabricating a microcircuit card provides better control of the spreading of a hardenable coating material during fabrication of the microcircuit card. The surface of a support is treated to define at least two areas with different surface states and both extending beyond a predetermined location of the microcircuit. The deposit of the material is delimited by the configuration of these areas. The treatment is preferably applied by means of a laser beam.
