摘要:
An optical article for being transformed from a pre-activated state of functionality to an activated state of functionality is provided. The optical article includes an electro-chromic structure having layers of an electro-chromic material being responsive to an electrical stimulus, and an electrolyte layer interposed between the layers of the electro-chromic material. The electro-chromic structure may alter the optical article from a pre-activated state of functionality to an activated state of functionality upon interaction with the electrical stimulus.

Disclosed herein are randomly marked plastic materials and articles, and methods for their fabrication. In one embodiment, a randomly marked article can comprise: a random distribution of markings within a substrate, and machine readable data and/or a data layer capable of comprising machine readable data. The substrate was formed a first plastic and a second plastic, wherein the first plastic and the second plastic comprise a sufficient difference in a property to cause the random distribution. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating an article, comprises: combining a taggant with a first plastic to form a tagged plastic; molding the article from the tagged plastic and a second plastic, wherein the article comprises a random distribution of the taggant; and mapping taggant in the article to form a map.

A storage medium can comprise a substrate, a reflective layer disposed on a side of the substrate, and data. The substrate can comprise a thermoplastic and a light-mark formed from at least a portion of light-marking additive mixed with the thermoplastic, wherein an optical property of the light-marking additive at an optical drive read wavelength can change due to being contacted with a mark wavelength. A method for using a storage medium can comprise directing a reading device to detect an inspection area of the storage medium, and wherein the inspection area on an authentic medium has a light-mark in a substrate of the storage medium that forms an optically induced signature. The optically induced signature can be converted to a digital identification signature and the digital identification signature can be verified for authenticity.

A method of marking a thermoplastic article can comprise: combining a thermoplastic with a light-marking additive to form a composition, forming the composition into an article having a maximum optical absorption wavelength; and illuminating, at a marking wavelength, at least a portion of the article with a device having a power of less than or equal to about 200 mW, to form a light-mark. The light-mark can have a size, as measured along a major axis, of greater than or equal to about 10 micrometers. The light-mark can also have a mark absorption wavelength that is greater than or equal to about ±100 nm of the maximum optical absorption wavelength, and can have a spectral absorption curve.

The packaged medical article can comprise the medical article and a protective layer capable of inhibiting exposure of the medical article to a color change activator prior to use of the medical article. The medical article comprises a plastic portion and an active color changing specie, wherein the color changing specie is capable of changing color after exposure to a color change activator. The method for producing a medical article can comprise: combining thermoplastic resin with a blocked color changing specie to form a resin mixture and manufacture processing the resin mixture to form a packaged medical article. This manufacturing processing comprises forming the resin mixture into the medical article and packaging the medical article to form a packaged medical article. The color changing specie will not affect the structural integrity of the medical article when it changes color.

An authentication system may comprise: a first light source, a second light source, and at least three optically filtered light sensing devices for detecting analog emission intensity in a spectral sensitivity range, wherein each light sensing device is in operable communication with the first light source and/or the second light source. The first light source can have a first light source spectral distribution and can be capable of providing sufficient excitation to produce a photoluminescent emission from a medium comprising a luminescent tag and a color. The second light source can have a visible multi-wavelength spectral distribution and can be capable of providing sufficient visible multi-wavelength illumination of the medium to generate a second analog response, wherein the second analog response is different from the photoluminescent emission. Each light sensing device can have a different device spectral sensitivity range which includes at least a portion of the visible multi-wavelength spectral distribution, with the device spectral sensitivity range of at least one of the light sensing devices including at least a portion of a desired photoluminescent emission wavelength range.
