PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR VERIFYING THE HEIGHT OF A MAIL ITEM IN MOTION FOR STAMPING PURPOSES
A method of checking the height Hi of a mail item on the fly relative to at least one dimensional threshold SH defining a change in postage, each mail item having longitudinal peripheral edges of length Di and transverse peripheral edges of height Hi, the method consisting in causing the mail items to advance at a constant speed V along a reference surface so that each mail item is in contact with the reference surface over at least a portion of one of its longitudinal edges, the method further consisting in detecting the presence of a mail item relative to a given point of the reference surface firstly at a first distance d1 close to the reference surface and measured perpendicularly thereto, and secondly at a second distance d2 further away from the reference surface, measured perpendicularly thereto, and corresponding to said dimensional threshold SH, the method further consisting in detecting first and second times of presence t1, t2 for which the same mail item is present at the first and second distances d1, d2 relative to the reference surface, the method further consisting in comparing the ratio t2/t1 between the second and first times of presence at the second distance d2 and at the first distance d1 with a value equal to (1-?), where ? represents a correction coefficient of less than 1 that depends on the tolerances for detection of the presence of a mail item, and the method further consisting in considering that the height H of a mail item is greater than the dimensional threshold SH if, and only if, the relationship t2/t1>1-? is true.

System for printing a postmark by an external stamped label distributor linked by a communications link to a machine for stamping mail items, comprising the following steps: during an initialisation stage for the communications link, authentication of the stamped label distributor by the stamping machine by exchanging a secure authentication and transmission code from the stamping machine to the stamped label distributor of a dataset of predetermined images and signed with a secret key developed during the said initialisation step from the said authentication code, then for each print cycle, at the level of the stamping machine, calculate the postal data relative to the mail item to be stamped, secure transmission of the postal data thus calculated and signed with the said secret key to the stamped label distributor, conversion of this postal data into complementary image data and printing of the postmark integrating the complementary image data and the predetermined image data onto a continuous strip of labels delivered by the stamped label distributor.
This mail processing device includes an article supply module (10), a weighing module (12), and a postmarking module (14). The weighing module (12) includes the means to regulate (30) the movement speed of the means of transportation (22) of the weighing module (12), adapted to take into account the duration required to weigh the mailed articles.
The invention relates to packaging, (100) e.g. an envelope or a parcel, that can be checked for tampering, which packaging includes a hermetically sealed body, the body being formed by folding a sheet of material (101) that has been cut to a predefined shape. In order to track the object packaged in the packaging and in order to check the packaging for tampering, the tampering further includes an electronic component (130) that can be interrogated remotely and that is formed by data storage means (131) connected to an antenna (132). The antenna (132) is formed by an antenna circuit (133) which extends at least over the entire periphery of the inside surface of the sheet of material. Thus, any fraudulent opening of the packaging can be detected by the antenna circuit (133) breaking, thereby making any transmission with the component of the packaging impossible.
