Matthias Niggemann has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7367852
    Abstract: A terminal block connecting arrangement includes a first terminal block having a first electrical contact, an electrical device having a second electrical contact, a test terminal block arranged between the electrical apparatus and the first terminal block for displacement between a first test position spaced from the electrical apparatus and a contact position adjacent the electrical apparatus, the test terminal block having a double-ended electrical contact. A spring-biased detent device normally retains the test terminal block in the test position. As the first terminal block is progressively displaced toward the electrical device, the first contact is brought into engagement with one end of the contact on the test terminal block. Upon further displacement of the first terminal block toward the electrical device, the detent device is released, and the test terminal block is displaced to effect connection of the first contact with the second contact via the two-ended test contact.

  • Publication number: 20060117709
    Abstract: The invention relates to a returnable package provided with at least one deposit mark, a method for producing said returnable package provided with at least one deposit mark (12) and a method for implementing a returnable package system. The inventive method for implementing the returnable package system consists of providing a recyclable object with at least a first irremovable safety sign (14) and in applying at least one another irremovable safety sign to the object which is provided with at least the first irremovable safety sign (14) before, during and/or after the introduction of a product into said returnable object. The issue of the other safety sign is predefined by a command which is inaccessible for the producer of the returnable package (11). Afterwards, the returnable value for a returnable mark (12) is generated by the combination of at least said first and other safety sign (14, 16).

  • Publication number: 20050045063
    Abstract: The present invention provides a marking solution that is to a certain extent counterfeit-resistant, that is particularly easy to use, that can be stamped and that can be used for performing day-to-day markings, especially for the identification of documents, and that is suitable for comparatively simple identification. The marking solution includes an aqueous solution with single-stranded nucleic acids or derivatives thereof, in addition to glycerin and polyethylene glycol (PEG).

  • Publication number: 20040183004
    Abstract: The invention refers to a method and device for identification and authentication of an object by means of coded information applied to the object. The function of said method and device is based on the principle of a laser scanner comprising two photoelectric detectors provided with decoding devices. In a first measuring channel and in classical manner an open coding in the form of a barcode is registered based on the different reflection/absorption of light at dark and light spots. In a second measuring channel the coded safety information applied on the same object is detected. By preference, the latter information is applied in form of luminescent safety pigments/coloring substances. By means of the source of light of the barcode scanner said safety pigments/coloring substances are excited at a defined optical wave length and show a specific luminescence in another wave length band. By preference, the detector device of the second measuring channel is provided with a wave length selecting element.
