Patent number: 5984366Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and articles of manufacture for creating and authenticating self-verifying articles. Self-verifying articles include, for example, commercial instruments (i.e., notes, drafts, checks, bearer paper, etc.), transaction cards (i.e., ATM cards, calling cards, credit cards, etc.), personal identification documents (i.e., driver's licenses, passports, personal identification papers, etc.) and labels affixed to package surfaces for identification of the package owner or sender, which, for example, may be used for verifying imported goods by customs agents. Self-verifying article creation includes receiving recipient-specific data, encoding a first selected subset of the recipient-specific data and fixing the encoded subset along with other human-recognizable data on a surface of an article.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1996Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: International Data Matrix, Inc.Inventor: Dennis G.

Patent number: 5568607Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for controlling energy consumption by a selectively enabled processing system, such as a high-density code scanner. The selectively enabled processing system has at least one high-power consumption microprocessor which does not include a low-power consumption mode. Also included are a power-supply, a switch and a trigger for turning ON and OFF the power-supply, and means for performing diagnostics. The performing diagnostics means operate on at least a portion of the selectively enabled processing system whenever the power-supply is initially switched ON, and inhibit the power-supply upon diagnostics completion. The trigger selectively enables means for causing the microprocessor to consume the power-supply for a pre-set time period while processing, and then inhibit the power-supply upon expiration of the time period without re-performing diagnostics.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1994Date of Patent: October 22, 1996Assignees: International Data Matrix, Inc., Tokyo Electric Company, Ltd.Inventors: Mamoru Ishikawa, Christen V. Nielsen

Patent number: 5484999Abstract: A machine readable binary code which is dynamically variable in size, format and density of information is provided. The binary code is formed as a matrix having a perimeter and data contained therein. The perimeter is provided with density indicia for indicating the density of data contained within the matrix. The perimeter is also provided with size indicia for indicating the size of the matrix. By utilizing the density indicia and size indicia, a scanning device is able to calculate the size and information density of the binary code.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1994Date of Patent: January 16, 1996Assignee: International Data Matrix, Inc.Inventors: Dennis G. Priddy, Robert S. Cymbalski
