Patent number: 11166874Abstract: A system for packaging an item with an identifier comprises an identifier adder, a labeler, and a packager. The identifier adder adds one or more types of silica-based tags to an item, wherein each type of silica-based tag has a first signature readable using an optical spectroscopic reader. A label is generated based at least in part on reading the one or more types of silica-based tags of the item using the optical spectroscopic reader. The label includes goods info. The packager includes the label on a package, and wherein the packager includes the item in the package.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: TruTag Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter Pearson, Ting Zhou, Timothy Learmonth, Michael P. O'Neill

Patent number: 10269022Abstract: A system for verifying an item in a package using a database comprises a database and a verifier. A package producer provides the database with an identifier for one or more items each of a type, wherein the package producer produces a package, where the package includes the one or more items each of the type with an associated one or more selected tag identifiers that are placed in a location on an item of the one or more items. The verifier verifies the one or more items of the type using 1) the associated one or more selected tag identifiers as detected using a spectral signature or 2) a tag characteristic as detected using an imager, and 3) the identifier retrieved from the database.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: TruTag Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael P.

Patent number: 10071843Abstract: An item of a type includes one or more selected tag identifiers that are added to the item of the type. The one or more selected tag identifiers have an optical signature based at least in part on a spectral measurement of the one or more selected tag identifiers. A first item spectral measurement of a first item is detected. A first item optical signature is determined based at least in part on the detected first item spectral measurement. The first item is verified as the item of the type in the event that the first item optical signature corresponds to the optical signature of the one or more selected tag identifiers.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: TruTag Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Learmonth, Michael P. O'Neill, Peter Pearson, Ting Zhou
