Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for printing an authenticatable image having an embedded image into a receiver having a discernible physical characteristic, such that the printed image can be used to authenticate the receiver which includes scanning the receiver to produce information related to the discernible physical characteristic of the receiver, and providing a carrier which includes information related to the scanned receiver discernible physical characteristic. The method also includes combining the carrier with an input image to form the authenticatable image having the embedded image, and printing the authenticatable image having the embedded image onto the receiver.

Abstract: A sheet of material and package made using the sheet of material. The sheet of material having an having an outer diffuse layer and an inner light piping layer adjacent the diffuse layer. The sheet transmits light to the outer surface of the outer diffuse layer. The outer diffuse layer has a specular area formed thereon through which light from the light piping layer can exit in a substantially non-diffuse manner from the outer surface of the outer diffuse layer.

Abstract: A system and method for printing images for use in an authentication document from a plurality of different printers and/or capture devices. Each of the plurality of different printers and/or capture device having a unique ID. The images are printed on an authentication document with the unique ID. The system provides for verification that the presenter of an authentication document. The unique ID and/or other information may be provided in a form that is not visible under normal viewing conditions. By canning the image the unique ID may be obtained and used for authentication. The obtained ID may be compared with a known information stored at a database for confirming that the presenter of the authentication document is the individual to whom it was issued.

Abstract: A method of delivering printed images to a recipient, includes the steps of electronically transmitting digital images and image locator information from a location remote from and over a communication channel to a central receiving agency which stores such images and locator information in memory; and identifying a particular stored image in the memory using the corresponding image locator information and the location of one or more recipients and printing locations corresponding to each of the recipients. The method further includes transmitting the identified particular stored image in the memory to the printing location of each of the recipients; and printing the image at the printing location of each of the recipients and delivering the printed image in a package to the location corresponding to of each of the recipients.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying images. The method includes the steps of analyzing a digital image file of an image so as to identify at least one predetermined colorimetric parameter; and automatically modifying that portion of said image having said at least one predetermined colorimetric parameter to a second predetermined colorimetric parameter so as to produce a modified digital image.

Abstract: A display device and method of operating the display device. The display device comprising a support substrate, a plurality of ring or disk shaped light emitting light emitting resonators placed in a matrix on the support substrate forming a plurality of rows and columns of the light emitting resonators, each of said light emitting resonators having photo-luminescent lumiphore placed in the outer portion of said ring or disk shaped light emitting resonators A plurality of light waveguides positioned on the substrate such that each of the light emitting resonators is associated with an electro-coupling region with respect with to one of the plurality of light waveguides and a deflection mechanism for causing relative movement between a portion of at least one of the plurality of light waveguides and the associated light emitting resonator so as to control when the light emitting resonator is in the electro-coupling region.

Abstract: A display device and method of operating the display device.

Abstract: A discrete micro particle having a micro image, a method of making discrete micro particles and use in authentication of products. The micro images are printed on a photo sensitive layer on a media and the media is ground into small discrete particles on which the micro images can be viewed for verification of the authenticity of a product on which the micro particles have been placed.

Abstract: A postal assembly and method of making the assembly. The assembly includes an official postal product have a designated area which is modified so as to provide a desired visual affect with an personal image that is to be placed in said designated area.

Abstract: A method for determining the appropriate dosage of a medication to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in an individual who has ADHD. The method comprises sampling the peripheral skin temperature of left and right like extremities of an individual during a predetermined time interval when the individual is in a sensory deprived state to provide respective left and right sampled peripheral skin temperature data, processing the sampled peripheral skin temperature data; processing the sampled peripheral skin temperature data including filtering, differentiation, and conversion to the frequency domain to derive spectral signatures whose magnitudes are indicative of the level of ADHD manifestation. The effectiveness of the medication is calculated by comparison to predetermined threshold values.
