Abstract: An anti-counterfeiting serialization method. The method can include receiving an input serial number, locating a seed character at a predetermined position in the input serial number, determining, based on the seed character, a first output position for an incrementing character of the input serial number, determining, based on the incrementing character, at least one second output position for at least one remaining character of the input serial number, and generating an output serial number having the incrementing character in the first output position and at least one remaining character in the at least one second output position.

Abstract: A system and method is presented that provides a manual sonic welding device for welding multiple labels or other articles together. The manual sonic welding device includes an anvil and a head. The anvil is where the labels are placed on the welding device and allows the high frequency vibration from the welding device to be directed to the proper interfaces of the labels. The head allows the multiple labels to be assembled under pressure. Additionally, the manual sonic welding device includes a converter, a sonic horn, and a power supply to seal the multiple labels together. The power supply delivers a high power AC signal, the converter converts the electrical signal into a mechanical vibration, and the sonic horn applies the mechanical vibration to the labels to be welded. The manual sonic welding device also includes dual safety switches which activate the device.

Abstract: There is disclosed a web of record assemblies, wherein each record assembly includes a single-ply tag and a single-ply adhesive-backed label. The pressure sensitive adhesive on the label is releasably adhered to a release liner which underlies the label. The tag is detachable from the label is releasably from the liner. The label is preferably connected to the matrix which surrounds the label.
