20080272886 | Item Carrying at Least Two Data Storage Elements - An item according to the invention comprises at least two data storage elements such as e.g. an RFID transponder | 11-06-2008 |
20110101088 | IDENTIFICATION AND AUTHENTICATION USING LIQUID CRYSTAL MATERIAL MARKINGS - The present invention relates to a marking of polymeric liquid crystal material having determined optical characteristics allowing its authentication and reading by a machine and its authentication by the human eye. The marking is applied onto an item, good or article by a variable information printing process. The marking is in the form of indicia representing a unique code which allows for an easy authentication by the human eye and a secure tracking and tracing of the marked item, good or article throughout its life cycle. | 05-05-2011 |
20110135853 | MODIFIED MARKING BASED ON CHIRAL LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMERS - A liquid crystal polymer marking is obtainable by a process that comprises applying a chiral liquid crystal precursor composition onto a substrate, heating the composition to a chiral liquid crystal state, applying to at least one area of the precursor composition a modifying composition, if necessary, heating the at least one area to bring same to a modified liquid crystal state, and subsequently curing and/or polymerizing the resultant product. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. | 06-09-2011 |

The marking is applied onto an item, good or article by a variable information printing process. The marking is in the form of indicia representing a unique code which allows for an easy authentication by the human eye and a secure tracking and tracing of the marked item, good or article throughout its life cycle. | 11-01-2012 |
20120328852 | SUBSTRATE WITH A MODIFIED LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER MARKING - The present invention relates to a marking on an item or substrate, which marking is based on a chiral nematic (also called cholesteric) liquid crystal precursor composition. Prior to curing the chiral liquid crystal precursor composition in the chiral liquid crystal state at least one optical property exhibited by the composition is modified by two modifying agents of different types in at least one area of the item or substrate. | 12-27-2012 |
