Patent number: 11285754Abstract: A security inlay having optically recognizable characters for an identity document comprises a first transparent layer and a second transparent layer. A color coating is situated on the first transparent layer. Furthermore, a first UV color coating, which reflects at least UV light at least in a first wavelength range, is situated on the first layer and/or on the color coating. The first and second transparent layers are connected to one another. A first portion of the optically recognizable characters is formed by blackened sections in at least one of the layers. A second portion of the optically recognizable characters is formed by the color coating. A third portion of the optically recognizable characters is formed by the UV color coating. The first and the second portions of the optically recognizable characters reflect visible light. The third portion of the optically recognizable characters reflects UV light.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: MUEHLBAUER GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 11124009Abstract: A security inlay having optically recognizable characters for an identity document comprises a first transparent layer and a second transparent layer. The first and second transparent layers are connected to one another. A first portion of the optically recognizable characters is formed by blackened sections in at least one of the layers. A second portion of the optically recognizable characters is formed by the color coating. The first and second portions are arranged and configured to reflect visible light. Infrared light is reflected by the first portion of the optical characters. During irradiation with visible light, the security inlay thus shows first graphical information formed jointly by the first portion of the optically recognizable characters and the second portion of the optically recognizable characters. Under irradiation with infrared light, the security inlay shows second graphical information formed by the first portion of the optical characters.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: MUEHLBAUER GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 10604358Abstract: A system for aligning an electronic component including a substrate having an aligning structure and an aligning device for aligning the electronic component with the aligning structure. The aligning structure defines a first and a second edge, which are at an angle relative to one another and are complementary to two sides of the electronic component to be aligned. The aligning device aligns the electronic component on the aligning structure by bringing sides of the electronic component into contact with both the first edge and also the second edge of the aligning structure. A dispensing unit dispensing the electronic component at a dispensing point by the device for aligning the electronic component close to the aligning structure. A receiving unit receives the electronic component aligned on the aligning structure in the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Muehlbauer GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 10347514Abstract: A component-handling device for removing components from a structured component supply and for storing the removed components at a reception device, where the reception device is newly adjusted after being initially put into operation after the replacement of device components or after maintenance work, in order to comply with the precision requirements when handling the components. The component-handling device has a self-adjustment device which permits it to adjust the device efficiently in terms of time and with high precision without manual intervention by an operator. The self-adjustment device is composed of a multiplicity of optical sensors and a controller. Adaptation of the measurement results acquired by means of the optical sensors using position sensors and property sensors installed originally for component inspection during fabrication gives rise to a high degree of process reliability and at the same time permits device components to be inspected for damage.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Muehlbauer GmbH & Co.
