Hervé Bricaud
Cannon Switches


CHALLENGE :: The world wants its smart cards to be ever more brilliant. These “credit cards with brains” use embedded computer chips to perform tasks and store information, and as their acceptance grows, so does the need for increased power and security.

SOLUTION :: Hervé Bricaud has earned nearly 50 patents for innovative connectors and switches that enable smart card chips to do more than ever before. Already, these cards contain medical, banking and secure identification data. Soon a single card powered by Hervé’s inventions will be used as an all-in-one “electronic wallet.”
