    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for marking collectible items to increase their collectible uniqueness includes creating a multiplicity of unique date codes, each of the multiplicity of unique date codes including a representation of a calendar month and a representation of a day in the calendar month, randomly selecting one of the multiplicity of unique date codes, and affixing the randomly selected one of the multiplicity of unique date codes to a collectible item. According to other embodiments, a system with a computer and a marking device may apply a date code to a collectible item. According to yet other embodiments, a method for marking collectibles includes creating at least three hundred sixty-five collectibles in a time period shorter than a year, and marking each with a unique date code combination such that no two visually identical collectibles share the same date code.

    Abstract: A magnetic fluid composition include a suspension of nano-particles including cross-crystallized multi-metal compounds dispersed in a solvent, the cross-crystallized multi-metal compounds including at least two or more metals having different valencies or oxidation states, the metals selected from the group consisting of a monovalent metal (Me+), a divalent metal (Me2+), a trivalent metal (Me3+), a quadrivalent metal (Me4+) and a rare earth metal. The magnetic fluid having a viscosity and surface tension that permits dispensing from an inkjet printer at a rate of at least 2.5 m/s, at a resolution of at least 600 dpi, supporting jetting pulse frequencies of at least 15 KHz per nozzle (enabling high speed inkjet printing applications of at least 0.6 m/sec per individual nozzle row per print head), and enabling uninterrupted, industrial level print output of magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) code lines suitable for high speed magnetic data scanning per established industry regulations (ANSI X9).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a security element (1), to a security element (1) obtainable by the method according to the invention, to transfer materials having the security elements according to the invention, and to objects of value secured by the security elements according to the invention. The security element (1) according to the invention has at least two functional layers (12, 22), whereby each functional layer forms a motif and the motifs are either congruent, or one motif represents a photographic negative of the other motif. In the method according to the invention, the motif of one functional layer (12) is transferred into the other functional layer (22) with the help of an adhesive layer (30). In so doing, there is reproduced in the adhesive layer an exact image of the motif of the first functional layer, and said image of the motif in the adhesive layer is in turn employed for reproducing an exact image of said motif or of its photographic negative in the second functional layer. The transfer of the motif from one functional layer into the other is achieved by the adhesive having areas of varying adhesive strength, induced by irradiation through the first functional layer, and bonding to the second functional layer only in the strongly adhesive areas. The non-bonded areas of the functional layer are removed.

    Abstract: A method of printing a modified product code includes providing a printer and a substrate. An initial product code is determined. The initial product code includes a plurality of unmodified characters. A modified product code is determined. The modified product code includes at least one modified character that is different from a corresponding one of the plurality of unmodified characters of the initial product code. The modified character is a function at least in part by of initial product code. The printer is controlled to print the modified product code on the substrate.
