Patent number: 10901368Abstract: A method for integrating a hologram into the body of a security document that has a laminated body. The method includes: providing a holographic film having a backing substrate layer and a photo layer; providing additional substrate layers; carrying out a laminating process in order to form the laminated body, the holographic film together with the additional substrate layers being collated to form a substrate layer stack and being combined, together with the additional substrate layers, in a high-pressure, high-temperature laminating method to form the laminated body. There is also described a corresponding security document body.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignees: Bundesdruckerei GmbH, Covestro Deutschland AGInventors: Michael Stasiak, Michael Knebel, Andre Leopold, Olga Kulikovska, Enrico Orselli, Thomas Roelle, Wieland Hovestadt, Dennis Hoenel

Patent number: 10800201Abstract: A security object has a document body. A lens array is formed on a top side and first information is stored in the document body. The optical detectability of the first information through the lens array is dependent on a detection direction. The document body has a top view section, in which the document body has a material layer that is translucent or opaque, and adjacent thereto a window section, in which the document body is formed of a material transparent in volume between a top side and a bottom side. The lens array extends over part of the window section and over part of the top view section and spans a section boundary between the sections. The first information also is formed partially in the top view section and partially in the window section and, in the window section, laser-marked, static second information is stored in the document body.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignees: Bundesdruckerei GmbH, Bundesrepublik Deutschland, vertreten durch das Bundesministerium des Innern, vertreten durch das BundeskriminalamtInventors: Simone Zernicek, Andreas Bosien, Michael Knebel, Andre Leopold, Uwe Seidel, Ulrich Schneider

Publication number: 20160303889Abstract: A security element for a document of value is arranged on a transparent layer such as a film and includes a first periodic, optical structure, for example a grid of lines or a grid of points, which forms a first coating on a first side of the transparent layer, and a second periodic, optical structure, for example a grid of lines or a grid of points, which forms a second coating on the second side, which is disposed opposite the first side of the transparent layer. The first optical structure and the second optical structure overlap such that, as viewed by outside observer at a certain, predetermined viewing angle (?) or lighting angle, the structures show a color-changing effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2013Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventors: Roland GUTMANN, ALEXANDER MOMBREE, MICHAEL KNEBEL, CHRISTIAN KUNATH, JENS EHREKE

Patent number: 8899486Abstract: The invention relates to a data carrier (100) with a chip (10) which stores energy (13) as well as information for contact-bound or contactless inductive communication, and with a plurality of excitable chip sensors (11) integrated in the chip (10), which, after excitation (12), pass on a signal (18) to a CPU (19) of the chip (10), in which the signal (18) is processed. The invention is characterized in that, independently of storing energy (13) as well as information by the chip (10), the excitation (12) is specifically adjustable by the chip (10) for the purpose of additionally storing information and is adaptable to the requirements of processing the signal (18) in the CPU (19).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Quotainne Enterprises LLCInventors: Manfred Paeschke, Kim Nguyen, Oliver Muth, Michael Knebel, Mathias Wagner, Thomas Wille
