摘要:
A receiver for receiving a water-based colorant image transferred by a stamp or the like, including an image receiving structure having a support; an information receiving layer which contains recorded information, such information receiving layer being formed over the support; and a clear hydrophobic protective layer formed over the information receiving layer; and a hydrophilic layer formed over the information receiving layer and selected so as to be able to receive a water-based colorant image.
摘要:
A method for accessing a pre-approved image associated with a user which is stored in a first memory by an authorizing agency and is assigned a particular identification code which is linked to the pre-approved image and for making a document having such pre-approved image, including the steps of the user transferring his or her identification code for the pre-approved image to a receiving agency; the receiving agency accessing the stored pre-approved image using the transferred identification code and transferring such pre-approved image to a second memory; the receiving agency viewing the pre-approved image from the second memory so the receiving agency can verify that the viewed image is authentic; and printing the pre-approved authenticated image, text or graphics from the second memory at the receiving agency as part of a document.
摘要:
A method of forming authentic user viewable images on a receiver to which a series of viewable images such as postal stamps are adapted to be transferred including providing a receiver, and forming a series of authentic user viewable marks on the receiver prior to transfer of the series of images onto such receiver.
摘要:
A method of delivering printed images to a recipient, includes the steps of electronically transmitting digital images and image locator information from a location remote from and over a communication channel to a central receiving agency which stores such images and locator information in memory; and identifying a particular stored image in the memory using the corresponding image locator information and the location of one or more recipients and printing locations corresponding to each of the recipients. The method further includes transmitting the identified particular stored image in the memory to the printing location of each of the recipients; and printing the image at the printing location of each of the recipients and delivering the printed image in a package to the location corresponding to of each of the recipients.
摘要:
A method of forming authenticated secure images on image areas on labels including the steps of storing in memory a number of different selectable label size and shapes; selecting an appropriate label size and shape from the memory for a particular image; moving a colorant donor element having a plurality of transferable colorants into transferable relationship with a receiver, the colorant donor element includes a representation of the particular image and marks which authenticate the particular image having colorant over such representation and marks; transferring colorants onto the receiver in accordance with the representation of the particular image and marks in the colorant donor element and the size of the selected label to form authenticated images in the receiver; and cutting the images on the receiver into the selected shape to form a plurality of labels each having an authenticated image.

A method of authorizing the making of images on a receiver such as postage stamps by a receiving agency includes electronically transmitting a digital image file over a channel to the receiving agency and the digital image file includes at least one digital image and authorization information for making images on a receiver. The method further includes receiving the digital image file at the receiving agency, displaying at least one received digital image and examining the displayed digital image to determine whether its contents are acceptable for making images and examining the authorization information and printing at a designated location accepted digital images on a receiver corresponding to the transmitted digital image when the authorization information is approved.

摘要:
A method for capturing at least one image of an existing man-made structure and for detecting the presence of failure(s) in such existing man-made structure including: providing a detectable material on the surface or in an existing man-made structure so that portions of the detectable material will be present in the failure(s) of the existing man-made structure; providing an image sensor and which captures at least one image of the existing man-made structure and identifies failure(s) due to the existence of the detectable material in the failure(s) to provide at least one digital image; and processing the captured digital image(s) to provide a visual image of the existing man-made structure to determine the presence of failure(s) in the existing man-made structure.
