摘要:
A reader for a secure tag. The reader comprises a first excitation source (such as one or more LEDs) that stimulates at least one transition in the secure tag. The reader also comprises a second excitation source that stimulates more transitions than were stimulated by the first excitation source. The reader has a detector for detecting luminescence from the secure tag in response to excitation from the first excitation source and in response to excitation from the second excitation source to ensure that luminescence is detected at a pre-determined wavelength in response to the second excitation source but not the first excitation source.

A security marker for use as an anti-counterfeiting or security measure is described. The marker comprising at least one security tag comprising a first dopant incorporated into a host and a second dopant incorporated into a host. The first dopant interacts with its host to luminesce in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum upon excitation at a first wavelength, and the second dopant interacts with its host only upon excitation at a second wavelength.

A method of marking pharmaceuticals comprises providing a luminescent marker having a spectral signature associated with information associated with the pharmaceutical. Providing the luminescent marker includes incorporating the luminescent marker into the pharmaceutical, incorporating the luminescent marker into a coating on the pharmaceutical, incorporating the luminescent marker into packaging for the pharmaceutical, and the like.
摘要:
A method of ascertaining navigational information comprises illuminating a region of a surface incorporating one or more luminescent markers. Emission from the luminescent markers in response to the illumination is detected and processed to ascertain navigational information associated with the processed emission.
摘要:
A penetration screen is disclosed which comprises a substantially planar substrate with, at least, one electrical circuit disposed thereon. The electrical circuit is configured such that, at least, one section of the circuit is electrically isolatable from the remainder of the circuit without causing a fault condition in said remainder of the circuit.

A biometric system (10) for assisting a user in providing a biometric reading is described. The system (10) comprises: a biometric capture unit (12) for capturing biometric data from a user; and feedback means (30) for providing the user with an indication of the extent to which a measurement has been captured. The feedback means (30) may be implemented by a display, a loudspeaker (508), or both. The system may also include anonymizing means (66) for providing the feedback means (30) with an anonymized version of the data measured from the biometric capture unit (12).
摘要:
A combination mug and tea bag holder wherein the tea bag holder is an integral part of the mug, to thereby provide a convenient location to store a used tea bag, either for subsequent reuse on a second or subsequent refill or for easy discarding after the user is finished drinking the tea. A transverse receptacle is formed into the upper portion of a mug, which slot opens up into the mug. A tea bag which has been dipped into hot water may be slid by the string attached to the tea bag from the hot water into the transverse receptacle where it can rest until it needs to be subsequently reused or eventually discarded.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a container for liquid which is able to retain the liquid therein for drinking purposes at a temperature close to its original temperature for a period of time, will assure that the liquid will not spill out if the container is tipped, and facilitates easy drinking of the liquid from the container. The container further includes an interiorly recessed shelf possessing at least one gap within the shelf wall and which accommodates a sealing member or top which contains a protruding tongue which can be inserted through the gap and rotated below the shelf to fasten the sealing member in place. Then the top can function as a sealing member to retain the liquid in place and assure that the liquid will not spill if the container is accidentally tipped. The top will further serve to entirely seal the container to thereby retain the liquid therein at close to its original temperature for a period of time.
