  • Patent number: 10337055
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) using a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe and a melting curve analysis, and more particularly, a method is disclosed for analyzing SNPs of mtDNA by the melting curve analysis of a PNA probe and mtDNA, in which the PNA probe is coupled with a reporter and a quencher. By using PNA probes labeled with a reporter and a quencher in the method for analyzing SNPs of mtDNA, the time and cost required for individual identification can be drastically decreased, initial analysis can be carried out in the event of a large number of inspections or mass casualties, and human identification information can be coded, and thus the method is very easy to manage and supervise.

  • Patent number: 9536162
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting a mark that is invisible in the visible light region. Here, the invisible mark is displayed on a card using a characteristic according to which the color of light is changed by means of a refractive index difference according to media in the visible light region. According to the method for detecting the invisible mark, it may be quickly determined whether the card is a counterfeit card in an investigation. In addition, since it is unnecessary to repeatedly inspect the card to be checked using various wavelengths, the time required for determining whether the card is a counterfeit card may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8577121
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a forged seal imprint checking method which includes a step ST-101 of generating a reference seal imprint from a genuine seal (ST-110) and a step ST-121 of comparing a compared seal imprints with the reference seal imprint to calculate characteristic values of the compared seal imprint with respect to the reference seal imprint (ST-140). According to experimental results, forged seal imprints obtained by seals forged by etching a zinc plate or a resin plate can be recognized and forged seal imprints generated by seals forged through computer copy can be also recognized. Accordingly, an objective basis on which it can be determined whether seal imprints on documents are forged in civil and criminal cases can be provided to prevent errors which may be generated when seal imprints are inspected with the naked eyes or microscopes.
