摘要:
Security paper with luminescing authenticity characteristics which after excitation with invisible light emit exclusively invisible light of different wavelengths as authenticity signal. The luminophores can be included in the printing ink used or they can be added to the paper material in the manufacture of the paper material. A corresponding test apparatus makes it possible to check the authenticity of the security paper in the presence of customers but unnoticed by them; thereby the invisibility of the test signal and the authenticity signal are taken advantage of and the test device is hidden behind a plate non-transmissive for visible light which however is transmissive for the test signal and for the authenticity signal.
摘要:
The invention relates to a system comprising a series of data carriers, in particular identity cards, papers of value or the like, whereby the data carriers belonging to the system exhibit diffraction structures containing standard information and parts of the series are changed by additional measures in the area of the diffraction structures or combined with other elements and they differ from the rest of the series in optically recognizable fashion, whereby the change in the diffraction structures and/or the combination with other elements convey an esthetic overall impression and the change and/or combination with the other elements cannot be undone without destruction of the diffraction structures.

The invention relates to a document of value consisting of a substrate of predetermined surface area with a printed image visible to the naked eye and a marking in the form of characters, patterns or the like at least partly superimposed on the printed image. The marking is represented by a feature substance having at least one mechanically detectable physical property and extends over the predominant part of the surface of the document. The marking additionally has a given measurable regularity which makes it possible, by mechanical scanning of the marking, to detect the correctness of the distribution and recognize gaps or added partial elements of other authentic documents as disturbances.

The invention relates to a printed security with a hallmark in the form of a coating applied in a vacuum to the surface of the security. This coating is so thin that it is almost invisible even as a metal layer, while at the same time permitting accurate automatic examination. The absorption characteristics of the security are preferably measured in a certain range of the wavelength of the spectrum.

This invention relates to a security paper with a hallmark in the form of a coating applied by vacuum deposition techniques to the surface of a paper substrate. The coating is very thin and almost invisible to the naked eye even as a metal layer, although permitting accurate automatic or machine examination for verification purposes. the absorption of the hallmarks in a certain range of the wavelength of the spectrum, the exiting spcetrum of luminescence, the photoconductivity and/or the electrical conductivity of the hallmarks are characteristics used during the automatic examination of the authenticity of the security paper.
摘要:
In the method, light from an ultraviolet light source is directed alternately through a neutral filter, uniformly damping the radiation of the light source, and through a partially absorbing filter damping only the wavelengths necessary to excite the fluorescence of a selected flourescent material, the partially absorbing light filter including the selected fluorescent material. The light passing through the filters is then directed through a first blocking filter onto a sample to be checked for the presence of a selected fluorescent material. Only the radiation from the sample is directed through a second blocking filter onto a photodetector or the like. The respective intensities of radiation of the sample, effected by the neutral filter and by the partially absorbent filter, are measured and converted into output signals indicative of the presence or absence of the selected fluorescent material. The two filters may be moved alternately into the path of the exciting beam from the light source, and the neutral filter may be either a wide band absorbing grey filter or a free opening for passage of the exciting beam from the light source. By using plural of such partially absorbing light filters, each damping only the wavelengths necessary to excite the fluorescence of a respective fluorescent material, it is possible to distinguish between several fluorescent materials which may be present in the sample.

摘要:
Documents and data, patterns, etc., applied thereto, which are present in the form of a surface relief, in particular in the form of embossed characters, are provided partially in the area of this surface relief with luminescent substance which is testable visibly and by machine. The luminescent substance is introduced either into raised or into depressed areas of the surface relief, so that characteristic features of the surface relief are reflected in its spatial distribution. The data can thus be tested for falsification and at the same time for authenticity in a simple way.
