The stickers are color coded in order to distinguish the time the medication is to be administered. Home health agencies may use the poster and stickers as they educate their patients about the medications they take. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110260442 | Method For Making Tactile Marks on a Substrate - Durable, easily recognizable and easy-to-feel tactile marks are provided which may be incorporated into security documents, such as banknotes, to assist visually impaired people in validating such security documents. Deposits are printed onto the substrate, using an ink, resin or ink-like printing material, in a predetermined pattern to form tactile marks adhering to the substrate. A sufficiently high pressure is applied to the substrate with the printed tactile marks to calender the tactile marks, thereby forming corresponding protrusions in the substrate on the opposite sides of the printed tactile marks. An energy curable printing material may be used to print the deposits and the calendering of the tactile marks may be performed by intaglio printing. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20130015651 | LUMINESCENT PHOSPHOR COMPOUNDS, ARTICLES INCLUDING SUCH COMPOUNDS, AND METHODS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION AND USE - Embodiments include luminescent phosphor compounds that include one or more emitting ions and one or more disturbing ions, and methods for their production. An emitting ion in the compound may be characterized by a first decay time constant when the emitting ion is undisturbed. However, a corresponding disturbing ion in the compound, which is different from the emitting ion, causes the emitting ion to have a pre-defined, target disturbed decay time constant that is greater than zero and less than the first decay time constant. An embodiment of an authentication system is configured to measure the decay time constant of a phosphor compound applied to an article, and to determine whether the decay time constant corresponds to a phosphor compound that includes a particular disturbing ion (e.g., in order to determine whether or not the article is authentic). | 01-17-2013 |
| 20130147179 | METAMERIC SECURITY DEVICES USING AN ACTIVE MATERIAL - An integrated security structure is provided employing an external source of energy to change the appearance of the structure rendering the structure more challenging to duplicate due to its complexity. The security structure includes a substrate forming part of a bank note, identification document, or other security device; an active device within the substrate changing color between at least two colors wherein a color of the substrate surrounding the active device matches one of the at least two colors to form a metameric device. At least one Interference Security Image Structure (ISIS) is configured to be metameric with a bleached state of the active device and is therefore invisible at normal incidence. Another ISIS is metameric with the colored state of the electrochromic device and consequently becomes invisible during coloration. When the whole device is tilted, both ISIS's change color while the rest of the device essentially remains the same. | 06-13-2013 |
