摘要:
Methods and systems for creating optical effects in pigment, inks, and on media are described. There is in particular described a system or indicia for use as a security or identification feature comprising a material that is capable of inducing a change of optical appearance of the system or indicia in response to exposure to illumination at different excitation intensities, wherein exposure of the material to illumination at a high excitation intensity causes the system or indicia to radiate a first emission spectrum with a first color spectrum, and wherein exposure of the material to illumination at a low excitation intensity causes the system or indicia to radiate a second emission spectrum with a second color spectrum that is distinct from the first color spectrum.

Methods and systems for creating optical effects in pigments, inks, and on media are described. There is in particular described an object comprising a substrate and an indicia comprising a fluorescent material and a phosphorescent material, the fluorescent material emitting a fluorescent radiation in response to UV illumination, and the phosphorescent material phosphorescing a phosphorescent radiation in response to UV illumination and continuing to phosphoresce for a period of time after the UV illumination is stopped.

Methods and systems for creating optical effects in pigment, inks, and on media are described. There is in particular described an object comprising a substrate and an indicia comprising a first material and a second material, wherein the first material is coupled to the substrate, the first material having a first optical appearance without ultraviolet (UV) excitation and a second optical appearance after receiving UV excitation, wherein the second material is coupled to the substrate and is capable of providing a color, and wherein the indicia appears to radiate and/or reflect a first color upon initial UV excitation while the first material has the first optical appearance and then appears to radiate and/or reflect a second color upon continued UV excitation as the first material has changed to the second optical appearance

A hidden image method comprising: obtaining a first image and a second image, the first and second images providing between them a hidden image and a decoder such that a hidden image is decoded by the decoder when the first image and the second image are superposed at at least one decoding position; printing the first image onto a light transmissive substrate to produce a printed substrate; displaying the second image on an electronic display; and superposing the printed substrate relative to the display at a decoding position to decode the hidden image.

A document may include a non-magnetic substrate, a first colorant mixture printed as a first image upon the substrate, the first colorant mixture including a magnetic ink, and a second colorant mixture printed as a second image upon the substrate in substantially close spatial proximity to the printed first colorant mixture. The second colorant mixture may consist essentially of one or more non-magnetic inks and exhibit properties of both low visual contrast and high magnetic contrast against the first colorant mixture, such that the resultant printed substrate does not reveal the first image to the human eye, but will reveal the first image to a magnetic image reader.
摘要:
Methods and systems for creating optical effects in pigments, inks, and on media are described. There is in particular described a system or indicia for use as a security or identification feature comprising a combination of material that is capable of inducing a change of optical appearance of the system or indicia in response to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. The combination of materials includes at least a first material that changes its optical appearance under exposure to UV light and a second material that provides a color under ambient visible light or under exposure to UV light. The first and second materials are selected in such a way that exposure to UV light causes a visible spectrum of the system or indicia to dynamically shift over time from a first spectrum to a second spectrum distinct from the first spectrum
摘要:
A method of embedding an optical signature in a document and document produced therefrom. The optical signature is an optical pattern generated from a known value, such as a mathematical, geometric, trigonometric, size, phase, and the like, and the same value can be generated from examination of a document having the embedded optical pattern. The document can be validated, authenticated, or the determination of a valid copy of an original document with the embedded optical signature made through comparison of the known value and the value generated from the optical pattern on the document. The optical pattern can also be generated from other identification codes on the document.
摘要:
An image reading device includes: a conveying unit for conveying an irradiated member that has a hologram area in a conveying direction; a first light source for applying light to an irradiated part in the hologram area; and a second light source separated from the first light source along the conveying direction and applying light to an irradiated part in the hologram area when the hologram area is conveyed by a prescribed distance. An irradiation angle at which the irradiated part is irradiated with the light of the first light source is made to be different from an irradiation angle at which the irradiated part is irradiated with the light of the second light source when the hologram part is conveyed by the prescribed distance. Lights reflected by the hologram area are respectively received to detect an electric signal of the hologram area of the irradiated member.

Provided is an optical imaging pen configured to detect information encoded on a page with ink which is substantially invisible to the human eye. The pen includes a housing and an ink pen cartridge and a stylus mounted side by side within the housing, the ink cartridge and stylus configured to be brought forward through an open end of the housing by rotation of a pen top rotatably mounted on an end of the housing. The pen includes an electronics chassis mounted inside the housing, said chassis supporting an infrared LED for providing infrared radiation for projection onto the page, an image sensor for receiving reflected radiation from the surface, a radio frequency circuit having a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver, and a controller circuit for controlling operation of the LED, sensor and radio frequency circuit. Also included is a rechargeable battery mounted about, and in contact with, the electronics chassis with an induction coil mounted about the chassis to enable induction recharging of the battery.
