Latest Patents
One of Jablonski's latest patents is a terminal for issuing and processing data-bearing documents. This innovative system is designed to accomplish issuing and processing operations on cards that bear both human-readable and machine-readable data. The terminal features an input hopper mechanism for storing and dispensing new cards, multiple transport mechanisms for transporting the cards, and various processing stations, including a cleaning station, an integrated circuit (IC) station, a magnetic-write station, a magnetic-read station, and a print station. The cleaning station prepares the card's surface for subsequent operations, while the IC station facilitates electronic data transfer with cards containing a chip. The magnetic-write and read stations handle magnetic data transfer, and the print station applies visual data, including graphic images and text. Additionally, input/output devices, such as a PIN selection device or modems, can be integrated with the terminal.
Another notable patent by Jablonski is a printer belt drive for moving a card. This printing apparatus includes a transport system for cards that are repeatedly scan printed with component colors. The transport features a pair of belt rollers fixed axially parallel in a frame, defining circumferential annular aligned grooves. Belts encircle the rollers and extend to create a virtual working bed for card movement during printing. Pinch rollers ensure that the card remains fixed to the belts throughout the cleaning, magnetic processing, and printing sequences.
