Patent number: 11376882Abstract: An identification document includes a first layer and a second layer fused to the first layer. The first layer and the second layer include polyester, and the identification document is non-delaminable. Forming the identification document includes providing variable data on a surface of a first layer including polyester, aligning the first layer and a second layer including polyester, and fusing the first layer and the second layer to yield a fused identification document.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Idemia Identity & Security USA LLCInventors: Robert Jones, Daoshen Bi, Dennis Mailloux, Joseph Picardi

Patent number: 11066786Abstract: An identification document including a multilayer laminate having a core layer defining an opening therethrough, and a dynamic window in the opening. The dynamic window includes an optically variable coating on at least a front or a back of the dynamic window. The optically variable coating appears transparent when viewed from the front of the identification document in light transmitted through the dynamic window from the back of the identification document toward the front of the identification document, and appears nontransparent when viewed from the front of the identification document in light reflected from the front of the identification document. Fabricating an identification document with a dynamic window includes forming an opening in a core layer, positioning a dynamic window in the opening, and plate laminating the core layer and the dynamic window between at least one outer layer on each side of the core layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Idemia Identity & Security USA LLCInventors: Robert Jones, Daoshen Bi, Dennis Mailloux, Arthur Patrick McDeed, III

Patent number: 9855720Abstract: A laminar assembly including a first optically opaque layer defining a plurality of through-holes, a second optically opaque layer, an optically transparent inner layer between the inner surface of the first optically opaque layer and the inner surface of the second optically opaque layer, and a preprinted layer proximate the outer surface of at least one of the first and second optically opaque layers. The plurality of through-holes is at least partially filled with material from the optically transparent inner layer, and light is visibly transmitted in a single direction through the plurality of through-holes. Unidirectional opacity watermarks defined by the plurality of through-holes in the laminar assembly provide advantageous anti-counterfeiting measures, and are easy to view and authenticate, yet difficult to simulate.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: MorphoTrust USA, LLCInventors: Robert Jones, Joseph Picardi, Dennis Mailloux

Patent number: 8087772Abstract: The present invention relates to assembling identification documents in an over-the-counter issuing environment. In one implementation of the present invention, we provide an ink jet printer-based assembling system. An identification document substrate receives ink jet printed information. The printed substrate is laminated. In another implementation, a carrier web carries lamination pieces. Both the carrier web and the document substrate include form feed holes or other registration notches. The holes or notches are used to align the substrate with the lamination pieces, and to align a laminated document substrate for final cutting.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2009Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: L-1 Secure Credentialing, Inc.Inventors: Robert Jones, Daoshen Bi, Dennis Mailloux

Publication number: 20050042396Abstract: The present invention relates to assembling identification documents in an over-the-counter issuing environment. In one implementation of the present invention, we provide an identification document capable of being printed by an ink jet printer-based system in an over-the-counter environment. The identification document comprises a core layer and a first indicium. The core layer has a first surface, and the first indicium is printed directly onto at the first surface of the core layer. The first indicium is formed by a pigmented ink jet ink. The core material can have an affinity for a particular substance (e.g., water) and the pigmented jet ink can include that substance (e.g., an aqueous-based ink jet ink). An identification document substrate can receive pigmented ink jet ink from an ink jet printer without requiring a receiver layer or receiver coating on the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: February 24, 2005Inventors: Robert Jones, Daoshen Bi, Dennis Mailloux

Patent number: 6843422Abstract: The present invention relates to identification documents and smart cards. In one implementation, we provide a smart identification document including a document core. The document core is printed and laminated. The laminated core is milled to create a cavity. An integrated circuitry module is provided in the cavity. In one implementation, the cavity includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity. A laminate layer houses the upper cavity while the lower cavity extends into the document core. The upper cavity's aperture exceeds the aperture of the lower cavity resulting in a ledge in the laminate layer. A portion of the module may rest on the ledge, while another portion of the module may extend into the lower cavity. In another implementation, we provide a contactless smart card including a multi-layered structure. The structure includes a carrier layer including the smart card electronics.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignee: Digimarc CorporationInventors: Robert Jones, Joseph Anderson, Daoshen Bi, Thomas Regan, Dennis Mailloux
