摘要:
Scanning apparatuses (100; 200) are proposed for scanning bar codes (120; 220) applied to documents (110; 210), which in each case have a reflector arrangement (140, 150, 160, 170; 141, 151, 161; 152, 162; 165; 142, 143) which comprise either a variable reflection element (140; 141; 142, 143) or a light guide system (250, 251, 252; 253, 255; 254) which serves to deflect the beam path of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a radiation source (130) or an illumination device (230, 231; 232, 233), in the document plane along a line substantially perpendicular to the feed direction of the document (110; 210), or to capture it, and to relay it to a detector (280). In combination with the feed motion, the line-by-line scanning of the document (110; 210) along the different measuring tracks on the basis of the repeated deflection of the beam path by means of the variable reflection element (140; 141; 142, 143) or the repeated sequential relaying of the scanning beam by the light guide arrangement (250, 251, 252; 253, 255; 254) then results in reasonably priced and compact scanning apparatuses (100; 200), since the redundant radiation sources (130; 230) and detectors (180; 280) can be omitted.
摘要:
Printing plates for all-over printing of large areas by the intaglio printing process, a method for producing the printing plates and data carriers, in particular bank notes, with large-area printed images produced by the intaglio printing process area proposed. Flawless inking is ensured by providing partitions in the engraving of the printing plate which rise up vertically from the base of the engraved area and have at least a height of 50% of the engraving depth. The partitions largely prevent ink from being wiped out of the engraved areas when ink is wiped off the printing plate surface. This permits a large printed area to be covered all over with ink layers on a data carrier. By special arrangement and design of the partitions one can also produce fine structures in the printing area which area recognizable only with magnifying aids depending on the selected distances between the partitions.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a data carrier, especially a value document, such as a banknote, an identification card or the like, having a security element (20) that exhibits a print image (22) and a laser marking (24) at least partially overlapping the print image (22). According to the present invention, the security element (20) further exhibits, at least partially overlapping the print image (22), a laser modification area (26) that is in register with the laser marking (24) and in whose overlap area (28) with the print image (22) the visual appearance of the print image (22) is modified by the action of a laser beam.

摘要:
A screen for producing two-level watermarks is produced by completely closing part of the screen with a viscous sealing compound, which is subsequently cured actively or passively. At the thus closed partial areas of the screen, paper deposit is hindered during papermaking so that the finished paper appears light in transmission in the areas. A mask is used for exactly positioning the sealing compound in the partial areas of the screen and/or for curing the sealing compound only in the given partial areas, whereby in the latter case the uncured areas of the sealing compound are washed out.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method, in which from two images of a security element, which are recorded with right-handed and left-handed circularly polarizing filters, a differential image is produced, on the basis of which the authenticity of the security element is tested, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
摘要:
The invention relates to a document of value, a security element and a security marking that have a marking substance absorbing in the infrared spectral region between 1000 and 2500 nanometers which does not significantly absorb either in the visible spectral region or at 800 nanometers. Said marking substance is therefore not accessible with the widespread, simple IR readers working at about 800 nanometers. Preferably, an additional print is added that absorbs in the visible and also at about 800 nanometers but not in the range from 1000 to 2500 nanometers. According to the inventive checking method, the marked place is irradiated with infrared light from the range from 1000 to 2500 nanometers and the absorption determined.
