Publication number: 20180005292Abstract: A method of detecting attempts by online sellers to sell counterfeit goods on the internet, or to sell goods which they are not authorised to sell, is described. The user of a browser-enabled device when viewing a target website can determine whether the target website content is authorised or not. The browser may have a plug-in which allows the user to capture data from a target website, and send the data to a secure server which has access to or which stores data from the legitimate content owner or user. The data is then analysed to determine whether its use on the target website is authorised or legitimate, or not, and a warning or clearance message can then be sent from the secure server to the browser-enabled device to display that message to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2016Publication date: January 4, 2018Applicant: WESSEX TECHNOLOGY OPTO-ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS LIMITEDInventor: Alan Bell

Publication number: 20160140790Abstract: A method is provided for detecting value labels that have been re-used, that have a surface containing a luminescent substance, and that have been applied to mailpieces that are to be transported. These mailpieces pass through a sorting system in which the presence of value labels that have a surface containing luminescent particles which are distributed essentially evenly is checked. The mailpiece having such a surface is conveyed to a marking device. Here, the substrate in the form of the surface of the value label containing luminescent particles which are distributed essentially evenly is irradiated with high-energy radiation. In this process, wherever the radiation strikes the substrate, the luminescence of the particles is destroyed to such an extent that they are no longer detected as being luminescent when they pass through the sorting system once again.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2016Publication date: May 19, 2016Applicant: DEUTSCHE POST AGInventors: JÜRGEN KRÜGER, RAINER ANTHONJ, ALAN BELL, JÖRG LOTTER
