Filed:

Aug 6, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/913025

Inventors:

Michael Tang - Monterey Park CA, US

Assignee:

Harvard Label, Inc. - Vernon CA

International Classification:

G06K 7/00

US Classification:

235486

Abstract:

A card, a first panel, a second panel opposing the first panel, and a detachable tab connected to at least one of the first panel and the second panel taken together form a card carrier system. The card is provided between the first panel and the second panel and secured to at least one of the first panel and the second panel such that the card is at least partially covered by at least one of first panel and the second panel. The detachable tab taken together with at least one of the first panel and the second panel covers a greater portion of the card than either the first or second panel alone. The card has an exposed portion extending past both the first panel and the second panel such that when the detachable tab is removed, the exposed portion of the card may be encoded.

Abstract:

Apparatus and associated method for writing data to a non-volatile memory cell, such as spin-torque transfer random access memory (STRAM). In accordance with some embodiments, a resistive sense element (RSE) has a heat assist region, magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ), and pinned region. When a first logical state is written to the MTJ with a spin polarized current, the pinned and heat assist regions each have a substantially zero net magnetic moment. When a second logical state is written to the MTJ with a static magnetic field, the pinned region has a substantially zero net magnetic moment and the heat assist region has a non-zero net magnetic moment.

Michael Tang - Monterey Park CA, US

International Classification:

G06K 5/00
G06K 7/00

US Classification:

235380000, 235486000

Abstract:

A secure and confidential card display package and a method of manufacturing the same. The secure and confidential card display package includes a card carrier, a stored value card, and a clear plastic wrapping. The card carrier is constructed of a laminated sheet of material and has a first peg aperture for insertion by a display peg. The stored value card is integrally formed with and selectively detachable along a line of weakness from the card carrier and has a masking element for masking a confidential code. The clear plastic wrapping is adapted to wrap and seal the card carrier and the stored value card therein and has a second peg aperture corresponding to the first peg aperture of the card carrier for insertion by the display peg.

Inventors:

Michael Tang - Monterey Park CA, US

International Classification:

B41F 5/16

US Classification:

101181000

Abstract:

A system and method is provided for creating a fully formed printed card with a magnetically encoded strip in a continuous, single pass fashion. In one embodiment, a printing system includes a web flexographic press and an automated strip applicator and encoder. The web flexographic press receives a roll of thick card stock and has an unwinder that is adapted to unwind the roll of thick card stock into a continuous web. The automated strip applicator and encoder receives the web from the web flexographic press and lays and encodes a magnetic strip thereon. Here, the web has a thickness greater than 12 mils. In one embodiment, the thick card stock has a thickness ranging from 20 mils to 30 mils.
