20130011735 | LITHIUM INKS AND ELECTRODES AND BATTERIES MADE THEREFROM - Lithium metal powder based inks are provided. The inks are provided in formulations suitable for printing using a variety of printing techniques, including screen printing, offset litho printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, pad printing and inkjet printing. The inks include lithium metal powder, a polymer binder and optionally electrically conductive materials and/or lithium salts in a solvent. The inks are well suited for use in printing electrodes for use in lithium metal batteries. Batteries made from lithium powder based anodes and electronic applications such as RFID labels, Smart Cards and wearable medical devices are also provided. | 01-10-2013 |
20120145783 | POWERED AUTHENTICATING CARDS - The present invention provides systems and methods for powered video game playing cards, powered voter authentication cards, powered financial transaction cards, and methods for administering the use of each. The cards generally include a thin, flexible substrate and a battery disposed within the substrate. A dynamic token value generator and/or biometric sensor is disposed within the substrate and is powered by the battery. An electronic display is mounted on the substrate for displaying a token value generated by the dynamic token value generator. The token value is configured to be used in conjunction with a back-end token value secure identification system to provide access to secure electronic information or capabilities. | 06-14-2012 |
20120117834 | ILLUMINATED POWERED DEVICES SUCH AS CARDS AND METHODS OF USE - Compact powered devices are provided. The powered devices include a substrate, a battery, an activation element and an output device in electrical or optical communication. The compact powered device can be a card that, when subjected to an outside influence or stimulus, displays a message or illumination. The illumination can be circumscribed within a graphical design of the card. The card can be a gift card, a loyalty card, a novelty card, a financial card, an identification card or a smart card. The output device can be a light guide film that distributes light from an illumination device such as an LED which, when activated, illuminates a side of the light guide film. The output device is configured to display a number, a graphic, a logo, or another pattern or message in response to the stimulus. | 05-17-2012 |

The inks are well suited for use in printing electrodes for use in lithium metal batteries. Batteries made from lithium powder based anodes and electronic applications such as RFID labels, Smart Cards and wearable medical devices are also provided. | 10-20-2011 |
20090286150 | BATTERY TAB AND PACKAGING FRAME DESIGN - Improved battery packaging and constructions for batteries, particularly thin, flat-profile packaged batteries are provided. The battery packaging constructions may eliminate the need for soldering by providing current collector tabs coated by electrically conductive adhesive tape such as z-axis conductive tape and may provide support for current collector tabs and a regular battery perimeter by providing supportive battery packaging and/or frame materials. Better fabrication results, particularly when the batteries are used in smart cards, RFID tags, and medical devices. | 11-19-2009 |
