1. An assembly comprising:
- an outer surface bounded by at least a first edge portion and a second edge portion,a plurality of coils arranged at least substantially along a first curve at the outer surface, the first curve having a first length and extending between a first point and a second point on the outer surface, the first point being positioned within a first distance of 20% of the first length or less from the first edge portion and the second point being positioned within a second distance of 20% of the first length or less from the second edge portion,a controller connected to the plurality of coils,wherein the plurality of coils have symmetry axes at least substantially parallel to a plane of the outer surface,wherein the controller is configured to sequentially feed a time-varying signal to one or more coils of the plurality of coils so that different coils of the plurality of coils receive different parts of the time-varying signal.

Abstract
A credit card shaped element with a dynamic stripe which may be activated or deactivated, where the stripe is formed by a plurality of coils provided along the curve thereof, where the plurality of coils are activated in a sequential manner, where a plurality of proximity sensing coils are provided in series along the curve thereof, where the plurality of coils are formed by one coil contacted at multiple positions along its length by contact pads and where the signals fed to the coils cause an output of a reader coil to output a signals with a minimum slope or where one signal fed to one track has no peaks when the other signal is close to zero.
