The present invention relates to an integrated magnetics component comprising a magnetically permeable core comprising a base member extending in a horizontal plane and first, second, third and fourth legs protruding substantially perpendicularly from the base member. First, second, third and fourth output inductor windings are wound around the first, second, third and fourth legs, respectively. A first input conductor of the integrated magnetics component has a first conductor axis and extends in-between the first, second, third and fourth legs to induce a first magnetic flux through a first flux path of the magnetically permeable core. A second input conductor of the integrated magnetics component has a second coil axis extending substantially perpendicularly to the first conductor axis to induce a second magnetic flux through a second flux path of the magnetically permeable core extending substantially orthogonally to the first flux path. Another aspect of the invention relates to a multiple-input isolated power converter comprising the integrated magnetics component.

The invention relates to encoding phase information in micro-grating-based anti-counterfeit devices such as diffractive optically variable identification devices (DOVID). The invention utilizes that alignment of grating line positions in different micro-gratings having common line spacing and orientation, can be used as a new, additional information channel in DOVIDs. By displacing grating line positions in different pixels relative to a common reference grating, relative shifts in alignment are introduced that do not affect the visual effects encoded in the DOVID. The relative shifts in line position alignment induce relative shifts in the phase of light diffracted by the DOVID, so as to introduce a spatial phase shift distribution corresponding to the distribution of position shifts over the DOVID. Such spatial phase shift distribution is not visible, and the phase encoded information is thereby invisible unless a reader based on e.g. generalized phase contrast is applied. The phase encoded information can further be phase encrypted so that a spatial phase modulator decryption key is required to read the encoded information.
