  • Patent number: 9721705
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic particle having a high-reflective protective membrane and a method for producing same, especially wherein the magnetic particle includes a magnetic core, a shell formed on the magnetic core, and a high-reflective protective membrane formed on the shell, and the high-reflective protective membrane has low-refractive-index and high-refractive-index membranes. The magnetic particle has advantages that have high brightness and prevent the shell from being damaged by friction with a filler and pressure between rollers during a dispersion step of an ink-making process. Also, the magnetic particle is used for different colored inks, general paint, particulate pigments for vehicles, pigments for cosmetics, catalyst paint, and especially anti-forgery inks, etc., and has advantages that are durable and express colors that existing magnetic pigments fail to.

  • Patent number: 8289109
    Abstract: An electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) pattern structure includes a nonconductive substrate and a pattern assembly formed on the substrate. The EBG pattern structure also includes regularly arranged closed-loop patterns and open-loop patterns, both of which are made of a conductive material. The EBG pattern structure can be used to manufacture new security products by applying its frequency characteristics to securities or IDs and variously used in security technologies for preventing forgery and alteration because various security codes can be created by adjusting the variables of its EBG pattern.

  • Patent number: 8146800
    Abstract: In an apparatus for recognizing a security code having an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) pattern which uses reflection and transmission characteristics of the EBG pattern, a voltage controlled oscillator generates a signal to a power divider, which divides the power of the signal into halves, and outputs a first signal through a waveguide to be incident on the EBG pattern. The waveguide receives a signal reflected from the EBG pattern and outputs the reflected signal to a phase detector. A circulator outputs the second signal to the phase detector, which detects the phase difference between the reflected signal and the second signal, and outputs phase difference data to a data control unit, which determines whether the security code having the EBG pattern is recognized using the phase difference data. In an alternate embodiment, the voltage control oscillator is controlled to sequentially generate signals using power difference data.

  • Publication number: 20110180730
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a counterfeit detector which identifies whether a security document or the like is authentic by irradiating UV rays from UV LEDs onto fluorescent security marks formed on the security document. UV rays emitted from the UV LEDs are independently condensed and reflected, thus enabling a user to more effectively identify the fluorescent security marks that are formed in special shapes using UV fluorescent material.
