CardXX Announces Filing of Advanced Smart Card Patent for Next Generation Card Platforms.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- CardXX, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CXCQ), a leading smart card manufacturer, today announced that the Company has added to its patent portfolio with the filing of its Advanced Smart Card patent for next generation smart cards Example of widely used contactless smart cards are Hong Kong's Octopus card, Paris' Calypso/Navigo card and Lisbon' LisboaViva card, which predate the ISO/IEC 14443 standard. The following tables list smart cards used for public transportation and other electronic purse applications. . The patent filing allows CardXX to expand the application areas for its RAMP process into new domains, including Sensor Packaging and Battery-Powered Smart Cards. Advanced smart cards are capable of many sophisticated functions, such as displaying data, enabling users to enter Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) and passwords, and detecting security threats. These next generation smart cards are developing as the basis for new smart card capabilities and applications. For example, a smart card equipped with a battery, data display, and keypad would enable users to view their current balance of electronic purse applications, recent credit card transaction information, or bank account balance information. These capabilities could also be utilized to enhance security with password-enabled credit card functions. Smart cards are being utilized in great numbers for access control systems, storage of biometric data, national border control, and in many other applications. For example, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Common Access Card (CAC See Consumer Advisory Council. ) project requires a contactless chip to contain biometric data about a citizen including a digitized portrait and fingerprint data. These patents position CardXX as a leader in next generation smart card manufacturing, and will enable the production of cards incorporating batteries, data displays, keypads, chemical sensors, fingerprint sensors, and other electronic components that are generally not found in conventional smart cards. The unique capabilities of the low-temperature, low-pressure polymer injection molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. technique employed by CardXX are very well suited to the manufacture of next generation smart cards, thus enabling a wide range of new smart card applications.
