Patent number: 11904624Abstract: A structure for secure containment of information (SSCI) that is in the form of a laminate which includes at least two layers. The laminate is constructed to contain information such as a code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key or personal identification number (PIN). The information is located between the layer of the laminate such that the code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key, or PIN is not detectable from outside the laminate. The SSCI is configured to provide access and expose the code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key, or PIN by delaminating at least one layer, thereby indicating that tampering has occurred to the laminate. The SSCI can also function as a public key or private key for a blockchain, to provide access to a physical lock or to provide account access to claim financial value.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Inventors: Adam Trexler, Laurie Johansen, Paul Diffendaffer, Kelda Diffendaffer

Publication number: 20230347680Abstract: A security note may include a first transparent substrate having an area that defines boundaries of the security note. The note may include a first base layer deposited on the first transparent substrate. The note may include a second base layer deposited on the first base layer. The note may include a second transparent substrate formed on the second base layer. One or more security features may be provided between the first base layer and the second base layer. One or both of the first base layer and the second base layer may define an opening within the area of the first transparent surface such that at least one of the one or more security features is visible via the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Valaurum, Inc.Inventor: Adam Trexler

Publication number: 20230193447Abstract: A precious metallic laminate may include a first transparent substrate, a transparent transition layer deposited on the first transparent substrate, and a metallic layer deposited on the transparent transition layer. The metallic layer may include a precious metal. The laminate may include a second transparent substrate covering the metallic layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Adam Trexler, Laurie Johansen, Paul Diffendaffer

Publication number: 20230175140Abstract: A metallic sheet with deposited structured images and method for manufacture (MSDIMM) that includes a substrate, at least one structural feature, and a metal layer. The structural feature is at least one cavity on the substrate's upper surface, or at least one material object that extends outward from the substrate's upper surface. The metal layer is deposited, either by sputtering or atomic deposition, onto the substrate's upper surface, and, as the metal layer is deposited, the metal layer interfaces with and follows the dimensions of the structural feature(s), thereby creating a visible image at the location(s) of the structural feature(s). The visible image can be any image, and is preferably either an artistic image, a textual image, or an authentication image. The MDSIMM can be used for a variety sf purposes, and is especially effective as a form of exonumia or currency.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Laurie Johansen, Adam Trexler, Paul Diffendaffer
