The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and sheets of materials for producing marked security threads as are used to increase the protection of documents and parers of value against forgery. The inventive method is for processing, in particular cutting, security threads out of sheets of material in register, the sheets of material being fed to the processing units in exact alignment. The feed principal is based on guiding the sheet of material on at least one edge of the sheet, determining the position relative to one of the edges of the sheet, producing a signal form the determination of position, and positioning the feeding device relative to the processing unit so that the sheet of material runs into the latter in a predetermined position.

In order to protect secret information in the electronic storage medium, the storage medium is provided in a housing protected against access. This housing contains one or more detector elements, via which erasure of the memory contents is initiated when unauthorized access is detected. The detector elements are connected with a clock unit which sets these elements into operation for short periods of time at certain time intervals. This clocked operation allows for the energy consumption of the overall arrangement to be reduced many times over without any essential restriction of security.

The present invention relates to a data carrier (identification card, bank card, credit card, etc.) in which information is provided in an inner volume area by means of a laser beam, the information being visible in the form of changes in the optical properties of the carrier material due to an irreversible change in the material caused by the laser beam and to a method for producing the data carrier and for testing it.

Security paper with narrow band luminescing authenticity characteristics which can only be excited in substantially the same wavelength region in which it also emits. With these authenticity characteristics therefore the authenticity signal is overlapped or covered by the test signal of several orders of magnitude stronger. The authenticity of the security papers cannot accordingly be tested with the normal processes or devices for determining of luminescence. The test devices used take advantage of the decay behavior of the luminescence emission for detection. The authenticity characteristics can be added to the paper material, the printing ink used, further mottling fibres or security threads.
摘要:
Security papers with luminescing authenticity characteristics built in or printed thereon which absorb in the visible region of the optical spectrum but in the infrared have a transparent region in which the luminophore also emits. By the absorption in the visible undesired parasitic emissions are suppressed which would make the luminophore visually evident on corresponding excitation. For testing the authenticity of the document the emission is investigated in the infrared. Suitable luminophores are rare earth metal luminophores in suitable host lattices, particularly in ferrite lattices or garnet lattices, which contain transition metal ions as absorbing elements.

The valuable papers, such as the securities and the like, have safeguard elements against forgery or falsification and which can be mechanically examined using light of the visible, ultraviolet or infrared spectral regions and which are effective, particularly, against erasure. The paper is provided with a homogeneous protective coating which is applied either prior to or following the application of an information print by an ink impression. The paper, the protective coating and the printing ink have respective reflectance or fluoroescence properties such that, any damage to the protective coating, such as an attempted erasure, is detectable either at the wavelength of light serving to read the information print or at a special test wavelength.

The present invention relates to a depiction arrangement for security papers, value documents, electronic display devices or other data carriers, having a raster image arrangement for depicting a planar target image that is given by an image function f(x,y), having a motif image that is subdivided into a plurality of cells (24), in each of which are arranged imaged regions of the target image a viewing grid (22) composed of a plurality of viewing elements for reconstructing the target image when the motif image is viewed with the aid of the viewing grid (22), the motif image exhibiting, with its subdivision into a plurality of cells, an image function m(x,y).
摘要:
The invention relates to a security element for an article to be protected, having an upper face and a lower face, one or more imaging optical arrangements, which all image a respective associated object to a magnified scale only in front of the upper face, wherein the one optical arrangement or at least one of the optical arrangements comprises a plurality of reflective micro-imaging elements arranged two-dimensionally in a first pattern, and the associated object is in the form of a microstructure object having a plurality of microstructures, which are arranged in a microstructure pattern so matched to the first pattern that the microstructure object is imaged to a magnified scale in front of the upper face by means of the reflective micro-imaging elements. On both its upper face and its lower face the security element has an adhesive layer (14, 16), with which the security element can be embedded in the article to be protected such that both the upper face and the lower face are adhesively secured to the article to be protected.
摘要:
A security element, preferably for documents of value, which at least has one area with a diffraction structure, which under specific viewing conditions reconstructs a diffractive image. This area has subareas, which do not take part in the reconstruction of the diffractive image, and which represent a recognizable information. Essential is that the information represented by the subareas is recognizable mainly only under the viewing conditions, under which the diffractive image can be perceived.
