Inventor: BLANCHARD ELWOOD NEAL
IPC: G07D7/12
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: An apparatus for verifying, under ambient lighting conditions, the authenticity of an optical security mark on an item, the mark comprising a luminescent material which absorbs light within a first predetermined range of wavelengths and emits luminescence within a plurality of other predetermined wavelength ranges with a predetermined characteristic time response. The apparatus distinguishes the luminescence of the mark from fluorescence the item may have by distinguishing the slower luminescence decay rate of the security mark from the faster decay rate of the inherent fluorescence. The apparatus comprises an optical arrangement, having an illumination assembly and a luminescence detector assembly, and a signal processor assembly, all contained in a single housing. The illumination assembly and the luminescence detector assembly have a common focusing lens and are arranged along a common axis to illuminate the security mark and to detect emitted light from the security mark in a retro-reflective manner.

Abstract: A protecting method for data signal transmission includes that the source node transfers the same data signal along each path between the source node and the destination node; in at least one path, the data signal is copied to multipath data signals at least one time, and one path data signal of the copied multipath data signals is transferred along the path continuatively, and the other copied multipath data signals are transferred to other paths respectively, therein the path at which multipath data signals would arrive selects one path data signal to receive and transfer; the destination node receives one path data signal from at least one path. The links which can transfer data signal are among multiple paths which are between the source node and the destination node, even if the links in multiple paths disable at the same time, the links among multiple paths also can connect the non-disabled links in multiple paths, therefore the data signal can be carried normally, and the normal communication between the source node and the destination node can be implemented.

Abstract: Light from the first and second different wavelength light sources is combined and supplied to a director that directs zeroth order light to a reference surface and other order, generally first order diffracted light to on a location of the sample surface which is dependent upon wavelength. Light reflected by the sample and reference surfaces interfere. A characteristic of a sample surface is determined from interference light of the first wavelength. Interference light of the second wavelength is used to enable phase-locking by adjusting the path length difference by moving the reference surface or changing the refractive index of a path portion to compensate for phase variation due to environmental effects. Non- mechanical scanning is used to scan the sample surface by using a variable wavelength source and a director providing different first order diffraction angles for different wavelengths or an acousto-optical device that provides a variable pitch acoustic diffraction grating.
