20080213443 | Lower alkyl carboxylic acid moieties as organoleptic stabilizers and preservatives of food and beverages and for preventing oxidative corrosion of metals - Compositions and methods are disclosed for preventing the oxidative corrosion of metal surfaces by exposing such a surface to an anti-corrosion agent characterized as a lower alkyl carboxylic acid or salts and/or other derivatives that conserve or embody the lower alkyl carboxylic acid moiety present in their molecular structure. The anti-corrosion agent may be used in combination with a material capable of forming a moisture retentive barrier over the metal surface. Compositions and methods of preparing food and/or beverage preservatives or stabilizers are also disclosed. To prepare a preservative composition, an ingestible anti-corrosion agent, such as an ingestible agent including a lower alkyl carboxylic acid moiety, is combined with a suitable food grade polymer. The anti-corrosion agent and polymer are admixed in a particular order to maximize the preservative properties thereof. The compositions and methods of the invention provide a practical, non-toxic way, e.g., of ensuring anti-corrosion protection for metals, or devices containing exposed metals, stored or operated in water or in the presence of water vapor. Exemplary, non-exhaustive uses of the invention include employing the composition as lubricant for the surface of a metal or as a pump oil or brake fluid; using the composition as an undercoating for painting, electro-plating or electro-polishing procedures; and providing a protective coating for any metal or metal-containing machine or device, form automotive assembly plant metal press machines to electronic circuit boards. | 09-04-2008 |
20130017305 | LOWER ALKYL CARBOXYLIC ACID MOIETIES AS ORGANOLEPTIC STABILIZERS AND PRESERVATIVES OF FOOD AND BEVERAGES AND FOR PREVENTING OXIDATIVE CORROSION OF METALS - Compositions and methods for preparing food and/or beverage preservatives or stabilizers are disclosed. To prepare such a preservative composition, an ingestible anti-corrosion agent, such as an ingestible agent including a lower alkyl carboxylic acid moiety, is combined with a suitable food grade polymer. The anti-corrosion agent and polymer are admixed in a particular order to maximize the preservative properties thereof. | 01-17-2013 |

20130215474 | System and Method for Printing Documents Containing Dynamically Generated Security Features - Systems and methods are provided for printing secure documents incorporating hidden security features. In one system, a printer firmware module embeds a security feature in printer instructions to print a secure document. In another system, a software module on a computing device embeds a security feature in printer instructions to print a secure document. In another system, a software module on a computing device provides data to a printer firmware module to embed a security feature in printer instructions to print a secure document. In another system, a print server pre-processor module embeds a security feature in printer instructions to print a secure document. In another system, a security appliance security module generates security features in the form of security instructions that are embedded into a secure document to be printed. | 08-22-2013 |
20130262333 | Systems and Methods for Identity Authentication Via Secured Chain of Custody of Verified Identity - A method for authenticating an identity of a test taker is provided. An online registration portal allows test takers to enter registration information including an uploaded picture. The registration information is sent to a trusted verifier, such as a school administrator or teacher, who verifies the picture matches the registration information. A secured registration ticket is then generated that includes the picture and one or more embedded security features. The registration ticket is mailed to the student in a tamper-evident enclosure with instructions to present the sealed mailer at the testing site for admission. The test proctors then unseal the registration document and confirm the authenticity of the registration ticket and that the person seeking entry matches the verified photo on the ticket before allowing entry. | 10-03-2013 |
20130300101 | Laminated Documents and Cards Including Embedded Security Features - An anti-counterfeit feature for a multi-layer document or plastic laminated card is provided according to some embodiments. The laminated card can include an embedded layer including a radio frequency radiation absorbing or deflecting material. The card can be authenticated by detecting an absence or a modification of a radio frequency signal due to the card interfering with a radiation source. The laminated card can also include a pattern of perforations passing partially or fully through one or more layers of the card so as to produce an effect similar to a watermark in the assembled laminated card by giving the card a modified transparency in a pattern associated with the pattern of perforations. The card can be authenticated by observing a pattern of light through the perforations. | 11-14-2013 |
20140105449 | System and Method for Analysis and Authentication of Covert Security Information Using a Smart Device - A system and method for hidden security feature detection, analysis and authentication using a smart device is disclosed. The smart device can detect and analyze hidden security features using the camera capability of the smart device to capture a digital image, and then analyze and authenticate that image using a security service including a database of security feature data, processing rules, and other information. The security service can support a variety of smart devices and security features. The smart device includes a security-specific autofocus function that allows the smart device to be positioned within a range of distances and angles from a target document that includes hidden/covert security feature(s). The smart device can display an enhanced image showing the hidden security feature(s) and/or report if the security feature is valid or invalid, along with related information, via beeps, vibration, display, text messaging, or other reporting capabilities. | 04-17-2014 |
