摘要:
In part, the invention relates to a security feature for authenticating an object having an outer surface and an inner surface. The security feature includes a substrate having a length and a width and a two-dimensional code comprising a plurality of two dimensional regions, the plurality of two dimensional regions disposed in the substrate, the two-dimensional code is substantially invisible when inspected during exposure to visible light and readable during exposure to ultraviolet light.

Self-cleaning banknotes are provided using coatings, inks and additives which are photo-active and catalytic to reactions which are effective in breaking up organic contaminants or dirt to allow for the self-cleaning of banknotes by ambient light exposure as well as the cleaning of processed banknotes using equipment with more intense optical excitation, thus increasing their usable life.
摘要:
Disclosed are security articles and methods and systems for authenticating security articles using a plurality of stimuli. According to one embodiment, an illustrative secured article includes an embedded feature wherein differential activation of phosphorescent or fluorescent materials creates a machine readable response through the simultaneous presence of a source of electromagnetic radiation and a specific gas environment. A detector detects a differential spectral emission across the security feature that results from the change in gas environment. The spectral emission may be compared to an expected emissive signature to determine authenticity of the security article.
摘要:
A system and method for authentication includes a photoluminescent label including a photoluminescent material having a decay time, the photoluminescent material being configured to absorb an incident radiation from a radiation source and to emit an emitted radiation having a spectral signature after removal of the radiation source, and a sensor configured to measure the spectral signature in the emitted radiation during the decay time.
摘要:
An authenticable and machine readable coating for pills, tablets and other ingestible materials is provided. The disclosure also relates to methods of authenticating the same. The coatings are formed from a lattice of particles stacked to cause selective diffraction such that each pill or tablet has an optical signature. The signature associated with each coating can be read and authenticated. In one embodiment, the particles are substantially spherical and self-organized. In one embodiment, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) materials are used to form the particles.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for providing markings on objects, such as optical media (420) which do not interfer with the functionality of the object. The optical media (420) may have a portion, such as a central clamping area (422) which does not contain information. A mark (432) is transferred into this area through the use of a photomask. The mark (432) may be viewed in several ways including by placement over a fluorescent background (414) and irradiation with a low intensity ultraviolet light (415). This technique increases the contrast of the image.
摘要:
Optical media (10) having markings that are non-interfering, or substantially non-interfering with readout of data from the optical media are disclosed. The optical media having at least one layer (101) comprising a formulation comprised of at least one set of photosensitive color forming material, and protective coating (102) to enhance color forming coating. The makings are formed by coating the photosensitive color to an optical medial, and then cured by a first light. A second light, having a substantially separate band of wavelengths from the first light, is used to image the markings into the coating. The coating is robust to many external influences, such as ambinent environmental conditions, and physical wear.
