Abstract: A process of signing documents including generating a document identification from a digital copy of a document to be signed by at least one signatory, and encoding the document identification into one or more watermarks. A hard copy of the document to be signed incorporating the watermark(s) is produced. The watermark(s) is/are read using an optical reader device, and the document identification encoded into the watermark(s) and read by the optical reader device is decoded. The hard copy is associated to the digital copy based on the decoded document identification. Signing of the document is performed using a digital signing device, and signatory information unique to the signatory is obtained. Finally, a digital signature of the digital copy is generated based on the decoded document identification and the signatory information, following which the digital signature is applied to the digital copy to produce a digitally signed copy of the document.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an electronic device, preferably a thin film electronic device, and a method for producing the device. The device comprises an intermediate structure (301, 401, 501) at the interface between neighboring unit devices connected in series. The intermediate structure is suitable to employ deposition techniques that make it possible to avoid steps of scribing or patterning insulating and/or separating lines between adjacent layers of the device.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an excitonic device including at least one heterostructure comprising or consisting solely of a first two-dimensional material or layer and a second two-dimensional material or layer. The at least one heterostructure being configured to generate interlayer excitons at high temperature or room temperature.
