Title: Multi-spectral holographic security marker using pressure sensitive material substrate
Inventor: BROWN STEPHEN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G03H1/04
Filed: 2009-07-22
Abstract: A multi-spectral holographic security marker 2 comprises an image plane volume hologram recorded in a polymeric pressure and light sensitive film data carrier, with one hologram area a having a first replay frequency (wavelength) and one or more other areas b having a further, different replay frequency (wavelength); the different frequencies may be in the visible and invisible (ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR)) bands. A surface, pressure imprinted, hologram 3 may also be present. The different frequency response holographic areas may be formed by differentially compressing regions a and b, thus distorting Bragg planes (shown as curved lines); thus, even if initially recorded with a single volume hologram, different multi spectral regions may be formed by distortion, e.g. by means of a die (10, Figure 3). Security information carried by the marker is a combination of the size and shape of different colour/frequency replay areas together with the hologram content itself which is spread across the different replay areas.

Title: Apparatus for detecting and marking defects in longitudinally moving workpieces
IPC: G07C3/14
Filed: 1967-03-02
Abstract: 1,143,323. Detecting faults electrically. REPUBLIC STEEL CORP. March 2, 1967 [March 14, 1966], No.10044/67. Heading G1N. [Also in Division H3] Defects in a moving workpiece are detected by a search coil 14, Fig.1, and represented eventually as pulses on a line 26, each pulse being fed to a gate circuit 27, which is connected to a plurality of delay circuits 28a, 28b, and which is arranged to feed a pulse to the first of the plurality of delay circuits not already involved in delaying a previous pulse, the outputs of the delay circuits being mixed at 29 and used to trigger a multivibrator 30 controlling a marker relay 103. This arrangement ensures that errors in marking defect positions due to slight differences between the delay times of the different delay circuits are reduced to a minimum. The search coil 14 influences frequency of an oscillator 15 which drives an amplifier 17 and rectifier 18, the output at 21 being in the form of a pulse. A comparator 25 compares the size of the defect signal with a predetermined reference value, and if the latter is exceeded, an analyzer circuit 22 registers the presence of shallow and deep seam defects. A further comparator (not shown) having a higher reference value detects only deep seam defects. The delay and marker circuits 13, are fed only from the comparator 25.

Abstract: 450,136. Valve circuits. MURPHY RADIO, Ltd., BAKER, G. B., and HAWKINS, G. F., 62, Brook Street, Hanover Square, London. Dec. 4, 1934, No. 10132/36. Divided out of 443,423. [Class 40 (v)] A variable electric impedance is constituted bv a thermionic valve 19 across the anode and cathode of which is connected a potentiometer comprising a resistance 20 and condenser 21, the mid-point being connected to the control grid ; 22 is a blocking condenser. By this means a fraction of the anode voltage is fed to the control grid and the valve will present across its anode-cathode path a reactive impedance the sign of which depends on the phase relation of the anode and controlgrid voltages, while its value is determined by the mutual conductance of the valve and is variable by varying the suppressor grid bias. The control grid is biassed through an inductance 25 which forms a resonant circuit with condenser 21 of natural frequency below the range of wavelengths employed. The stray capacity of resistance 20 is reduced by an earthed screen 26. The potentiometer may be coupled to the anode circuit by a transformer. The impedance variation may be amplified by an auxiliary valve 80 as shown in Fig. 3, the mid-point of the potentiometer 20, 21 being connected to the control grid of the amplifier the anode circuit of which is resistance-capacity coupled to the control grid of the thermionic reactance 19. The potentiometer 84 by which the control grid bias of 80 is varied may be situated at a remote point, thereby providing remote control of tuning of a circuit connected across the terminals TI.
