Abstract:
An information processing system includes an information bearing medium and an information reading unit. The information bearing medium has a two-dimensional array of unit data zones. Marks are provided on some of the unit data zones so as to form a digital code. Mark patterns of any two Y-directional adjacent unit data zone strings based on the arrangement of marks in an X-direction differ from each other. The information reading unit generates a data string on the basis of a unit signal formed from a plurality of signals output from a group of detection units that detect the marks in synchronization and recognizes the digital code of the information bearing medium on the basis of a group of the data strings sequentially obtained from the array of the unit data zones.

Abstract:
An adapter device includes a cover that covers an inserted recording medium, a cover urging portion that urges the cover in a direction of the recording medium and causes the cover to be in press contact with the recording medium, and a connector conversion section that connects a terminal portion of the recording medium to a connector on an apparatus side having a different physical specification.

Abstract:
A card connector assembly includes a card connector (100) and a memory card (5) received in the card connector. The card connector includes an insulative housing (2), a number of contacts (3) retained in the insulative housing, a slider (41) assembled on the insulative housing and movable relative to the insulative housing, a spring (42) urging the slider along a card ejection direction; and a metal shell (7) covering the insulative housing for defining a card receiving space. The metal shell includes a spring leaf (711, 712) extending into the card receiving space. The memory card forms a metal plate (52) on a top surface thereof and a number of metal traces (51) on a bottom surface thereof. The metal plate is located above the metal traces along a vertical direction and the spring leaf contacts with the metal plate.

Abstract:
A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card connector of a mobile terminal is provided. The SIM card connector includes a housing for mounting one or more SIM cards therein, a separation plate separating an internal space of the housing for mounting the one or more SIM cards in a stacked arrangement within the housing and at least one contact point for electrically connecting to at least one of the one or more SIM cards. Thereby, the SIM card connector for mounting two SIM cards in a stacked arrangement enables a dual SIM card mobile terminal requiring 1.5 times more parts than those of a general mobile terminal to effectively utilize available space.
Abstract:
A card reader (for example, a swipe card reader for reading bank or security cards) is disclosed which comprises a detector for detecting surface features of the card such as embossed characters. In this way, a security check for false cards is implemented.
Abstract:
A low cost, compact embossed card reader for reading embossed characters on credit or debit cards and for integration into a combined magnetic character/magnetic stripe terminal. A low-profile housing defines a card path and provides a surface for mounting a removable read head. The housing includes an integrated card guide for guiding the embossed characters along a linear path adjacent the read head. The read head includes a plurality of pins mounted orthogonally to the card, and aligned so as to scan each of the embossed characters in parallel paths as the card moves relative to the read head. The pins move upwardly as they encounter an embossed character and open a normally-closed switch formed by a printed circuit board and a plurality of leaf spring fingers. The read head is operative to float relative to the surface of the card and relative to the embossing on the card.
