Systems and methods are described related to using flexible circuitry 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.

System and method for using a biometric payment device

Systems and methods are described related to using flexible circuitry in a payment accessory. In one embodiment, a payment device comprises a computing device and a memory. The computing device is configured to store a first biometric identifier for a first user and a second biometric identifier for a second user. The first biometric identifier is associated with a first transaction account and the second biometric identifier is associated with a second transaction account. A scanned biometric identifier of the first user is received. The first user is authenticated by matching the scanned biometric identifier to the first biometric identifier. The transponder is activated in response to matching the scanned biometric identifier to the first biometric identifier. The first transaction account is transmitted to a point of sale (POS) device for processing the payment transaction based on the first biometric identifier being linked with the first transaction account.

System and method for using flexible circuitry in payment accessories

A surface cleaning apparatus including: a housing supporting: a suction source including a motor with an axle having an axis (A) which rotates a fan; a dirt collection chamber having an elongate axis (B); and a battery for providing power to operate the suction source, wherein the battery has an elongate axis (C); wherein the axis (A) of the motor axle and the elongate axis (B) of the dirt collection chamber extend transversely with respect to the elongate axis (C) of the battery.

Surface cleaning apparatus

Systems and methods described herein may comprise RFID data acquisition technology which may be embedded in a fob or tag for use in completing financial transactions. This fob may a self-contained device which includes a transponder and which may be contained on any portable form factor and may comprise flexible circuitry. For instance, the fob may be housed in a wearable transaction instrument, such as a bracelet, ring, wrist band, retractable id, necklace, jewelry charm, lanyard, key ring fob, watch, band, pin, and/or the like. The fob is configured to be used in concert with an RFID reader device.
