Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100054551USE OF FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION EQUIPMENT FOR THE AUTHENTICATION OF SHEET-LIKE ITEMS - The invention discloses the use of biometric fingerprint sensing equipment and corresponding data processing algorithms for the authentication of printed documents or products, in particular intaglio printed indicia on banknotes, value, or identity documents. A corresponding authentication device is also disclosed.03-04-2010
20100200649METHOD OF MARKING A DOCUMENT OR ITEM; METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING THE MARKED DOCUMENT OR ITEM; USE OF CIRCULAR POLARIZING PARTICLES - Optical identification and/or authentication of a document or item with the help of a marking comprising a random distribution of circular polarized light reflecting particles, the marking being applied to the document or item through an ink, and the reading device exploiting circular polarization to discriminate the flakes from the background.08-12-2010
20100219251SECURITY MARKING AUTHENTICATION DEVICE - The invention discloses an authentication device for the visual authentication of a document or item comprising a circular polarizing security marking, said device comprising a light source and polarization filters for the either parallel or alternate illumination of said marking on said document with left- and right-circular polarized light. Corresponding methods for the visual and the automated authentication of the marking are disclosed as well.09-02-2010

20090218713VACUUM HEAT-SET OF NET SHAPE LATEX VACUUM BAGS - A net shaped latex vacuum bag as used in the fabrication of composite structural parts having complex shapes. Liquid latex is first allowed to air dry in the form of a thin flat, flexible sheet. The latex sheet is then vacuum formed over a tool having the complex shape of the part to be fabricated and assumes the shape and configuration of the tool's outer surface. The latex sheet is then rapidly cured at an elevated temperature, so as to permanently assume the part's shape for subsequent use in forming composite structural parts of the same complex shape. In one embodiment, the latex sheet may be formed on the tool by dipping the tool in liquid latex, allowing the latex coating to dry, and cutting the dry latex coating to permit separation of the tool from the latex coating which is then used in composite part fabrication.09-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080302912Bladderless Mold Line Conformal Hat Stringer - Apparatus and techniques for providing a closed hat stringer are disclosed. In one embodiment, a closed hat stringer for stiffening a composite structure includes opposing cavity walls situated between a first flange and a second flange, the cavity walls, first flange and second flange defining an elongated cavity, the second flange including a continuous exterior surface having a width greater than the first flange and configured for attachment to a skin.12-11-2008
20080302915Manufacturing Process Using Bladderless Mold Line Conformal Hat Stringer - Techniques for manufacturing structures that include composite hat stringers are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of forming a composite structure includes placing a generally cured composite hat stringer on a tool, the hat stringer having a rigid mold line conformal surface for adjoining a generally uncured skin, positioning the skin adjacent to the rigid mold line conformal surface, coupling the skin to the rigid mold line conformal surface of the composite hat stringer, including applying a pressure to a surface of the skin to urge the skin into engagement with the composite hat stringer, and curing the skin.12-11-2008
