US Patent Issued to Dynamics on Dec. 23 for "Systems and methods for advanced detection mechanisms for magnetic cards and devices" (Pennsylvania Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,505,318, issued on Dec. 23, was assigned to Dynamics Inc. (Cheswick, Pa.).

"Systems and methods for advanced detection mechanisms for magnetic cards and devices" was invented by Bruce S. Cloutier (Jeannette, Pa.) and Jeffrey D. Mullen (Glenshaw, Pa.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A detection activity of a card may be sensitive to capacitance changes in adjacent and non-adjacent pads on the card. Accordingly, the detection activity may remain sensitive to faster-moving devices and/or reduced detection sampling rates. A second detection activity may follow a first detection activity, which may increase a probability of a successful communi...
