    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of methods for producing eye-catching overt security features exhibiting one or more indicia as anti-counterfeit means on security documents or security articles as well as decorative purposes. In particular, the present invention provides methods for producing security features that can be easily, directly and unambiguously authenticated by the human without any external device or tool, wherein said security features comprised a cured UV-Vis radiation cationically or hybrid curable coating composition and cured one or more indicia, said composition comprising an ink vehicle and pigments comprising a flake-shaped non-metallic or metallic substrate comprising one or more at least partial coating layers, an at least partial surface treatment layer made of one or more surface modifiers based on perfluoropolyethers.

    摘要: Provided is a system and method of facilitating check-in of a luggage item of a passenger, the method includes: a) obtaining, by at least one of at least one processor, image data representative of at least one image of printed passenger information associated with an airline travel carrier on an originating hardcopy bag tag or a printed instrument having at least a portion of the printed passenger information on the originating hardcopy bag tag to create a digital passenger information (DPI) data record linked to the airline travel carrier, wherein the originating hardcopy bag tag is issued for the luggage item of the passenger, and wherein the DPI data record includes machine-encoded text of an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number; b) accessing a B-type message including a passenger name record (PNR) number of the passenger, by at least one of the at least one processor, using the machine-encoded text of the IATA license plate number from a computer system associated with the airline travel carrier; c) retrieving check-in information of a return flight of the passenger with a designated return travel carrier, by at least one of the at least one processor, using PNR data associated with the PNR number; and d) checking in during a check-in window, by at least one of the at least one processor, the luggage item, the passenger, or a combination thereof, with the designated return travel carrier based on the retrieved check-in information for the return flight.

    摘要: There is provided an optical structure that can form a code that is difficult to counterfeit and compatibly has both a high readability and a fine appearance. The optical structure of the present invention includes a reflecting layer having regular reflectivity, and a print layer stacked on at least a part of the reflecting layer, the print layer functioning as a scattering reflector having scattering reflectivity, wherein an image part, which is recognizable when viewed from a stack direction, is formed on the print layer, and the image part includes a pale-color level area that is printed, and a non-pale-color level area interposed between the pale-color level areas.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device for processing documents (document processing system (10)), in particular security documents. The document processing system (10) according to the invention, in particular for processing security documents, comprises at least one document carrier device (12) with a document receptacle (121) configured to receive a document (51) to be processed and to transport it along a first spatial direction, and at least one document processing device configured to process the document (51) in a processing area (82a) so that a visible element (551) is created on the document (51). In this regard, the document processing device comprises a radiation source (54) and at least one first mirror arrangement (21) and at least one second mirror arrangement (22), wherein the mirror arrangements (21, 22) are each configured to direct radiation emitted from the radiation source (54) onto the document (51) at a specific angle and/or from a specific direction to produce a visible element (551). The mirror arrangements (21, 22) are further configured to be moved into the processing area (82a, 82b).

    摘要: A deposition device may deposit, on a substrate, a binder layer that includes a first set of magnetic flakes and a second set of magnetic flakes and may cause, when a temperature of the binder layer satisfies a temperature threshold (e.g., a Curie temperature of the first set of magnetic flakes), a magnetic field to be applied to the binder layer to cause the first set of magnetic flakes and the second set of magnetic flakes to be oriented according to the magnetic field. The deposition device may cause, when the temperature of the binder layer ceases to satisfy the temperature threshold, another magnetic field to be applied to the binder layer to cause only the second set of magnetic flakes to be oriented according to the other magnetic field.

    摘要: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an improved yardage book holder for storing a yardage book as well as a variety of other golf accessories. The yardage book holder comprises a substantially slender thickness and a rectangular profile with rounded corners that allows a golfer to conveniently store the yardage book holder within a pocket in an article of clothing when folded in its fully closed position. The yardage book holder further comprises at least two layers of materials, a plurality of sections, a plurality of compartments, and a strap affixed to one of the sides of the yardage book holder. The strap allows for quick access to the item which it secures and is able to pivot such that it may quickly attach to or detach from the interior or exterior surfaces of the yardage book.
