20160102215 | INCORPORATING SOLUBLE SECURITY MARKERS INTO CYANOACRYLATE SOLUTIONS - Methods for authenticating an article with a cyanoacrylate solution comprising a water soluble security marker compound are described. The methods for producing a nucleophilic security marker/cyanoacrylate solution as well as methods for labeling an item and detecting the nucleophilic security marker/cyanoacrylate from an item being authenticated are also described. A method for using a nucleophilic cyanoacrylate security marker for antitheft purposes is also described. | 04-14-2016 |
20160076088 | LASER MARKING FOR AUTHENTICATION AND TRACKING - Methods for incorporating and/or immobilizing security markers by exposure to an electromagnetic pulse, such as for instance a LASER pulse, to produce a marked object that can be authenticated only by using proprietary biological, chemical or physical analysis, the method includes: exposing a surface of the object to be marked to an electromagnetic pulse to activate the surface or a coating on the surface, and exposing the surface to a detectable marker molecule and thereby immobilizing the detectable marker molecule, such as a biological marker molecule, e.g. DNA on the surface of the object. The method of marking the object may include exposing a photo-polymerizable monomer on at least a portion of the surface of an object to be marked to a LASER pulse to initiate a reaction to cross link the photo-polymerizable monomer binding, trapping or encapsulating a detectable marker on the surface of the object. | 03-17-2016 |
20150302713 | SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MARKING AN INVENTORY ITEM AND/OR PERSON IN THE VICINITY - A method of marking an inventory item includes providing an activatable smoke generator and a reservoir for holding a smoke fluid and adapted to provide a flow of smoke fluid to the generator. The reservoir contains a smoke fluid including a carrier nucleic acid having a uniquely identifiable sequence, and upon activation of the smoke generator, marker smoke is generated and targeted to flow over the inventory item. The method further includes activating the smoke generator to produce the marker smoke including the carrier nucleic acid so as to cause the marker smoke to flow over the inventory item and thereby to detectably mark the inventory item with carrier nucleic acid. | 10-22-2015 |
20150266332 | ENCRYPTED OPTICAL MARKERS FOR SECURITY APPLICATIONS - Encrypted markers that are not readily detectable can be revealed by treatment with a specific reagent used as a developer to reveal a readily detectable physical property of the marker, such as a characteristic fluorescence emission after excitation with a particular excitation wavelength, or to reveal a visible color. The encrypted marker can be developed in situ, or a sample can be removed by brushing, scraping, swabbing or scratching the marked object or item and developing the encrypted marker or a sample thereof with the appropriate developer to reveal an overt marker or optical signal. The marker can be revealed by exposure of the encrypted marker or a sample thereof to the developer in any suitable form, such as a solution, a slurry, a swab, a solid (such as in granular form), or a gas or a vapor that includes a developer. | 09-24-2015 |
20150104800 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MARKING TEXTILES WITH NUCLEIC ACIDS - A method for authenticating a textile material that is initiated by selecting a unique nucleic acid marker having a specific length and a specific sequence. A media that causes the unique nucleic acid marker to adhere to a fibrous material is then selected. The method then proceeds to generate a nucleic acid marker mixture by mixing the media with the nucleic acid marker. The nucleic acid marker mixture is then applied to the fibrous material. A marked fibrous material is produced by marking the fibrous material with the nucleic acid marker. The textile material is manufactured with the marked fibrous material. The textile material is then authenticated by detecting the unique nucleic acid marker with primers that are specific to the unique nucleic acid. | 04-16-2015 |
20150083797 | VERIFICATION OF PHYSICAL ENCRYPTION TAGGANTS USING DIGITAL REPRESENTATIVES AND AUTHENTICATIONS THEREOF - A verifiably identifiable object that includes a primary taggant encoding a readable encrypted first identifier of the object encrypted by a first method and a secondary taggant encoding a readable encrypted second identifier of the object optionally encrypted by a second method. The primary taggant can be a physical identification taggant, such as DNA including an authentication sequence, and the secondary taggant can be a digital identification taggant. The digital identification taggant encodes information validating the physical identification taggant, such as by referencing information embodied in the physical taggant, e.g. the defined sequence within the DNA. Also included is a method and system for identification and/or authentication of an object that includes a primary taggant encoding a readable encrypted first identifier of the object encrypted by a first method and a secondary taggant encoding a readable encrypted second identifier of the object encrypted by a second method. | 03-26-2015 |
20140295423 | METHODS FOR GENETIC ANALYSIS OF TEXTILES MADE OF GOSSYPIUM BARBADENSE AND GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM COTTON - Methods for distinguishing between cotton species by analyzing a sample of mature cotton fibers from raw cotton materials or from textile goods are disclosed. DNA is extracted from the mature cotton fiber sample and subjected to PCR techniques which enable the identification of the species of cotton utilized in the textile or cotton material of interest. | 10-02-2014 |
20130149706 | OPTICAL REPORTER COMPOSITIONS - This invention provides compositions that have a light emitting reporter linked to biomolecules, preferably, nucleotide oligomers. The light reporter particles are silylated and functionalized to produce a coated light reporter particle, prior to covalently linking the biomolecules to the light reporter particle. The light reporter particles of the invention can be excited by a light excitation source such as UV or IR light, and when the biomolecule is DNA, the attached DNA molecule(s) are detectable by amplification techniques such as PCR. | 06-13-2013 |
