Patent number: 11702548Abstract: A method for producing pigments having a specified contour, comprises the steps of creating a pigment layer on a starting substrate; detaching from the starting substrate; and structuring the pigment layer into a plurality of the pigments; characterized by bringing into contact the pigment layer with an intermediate substrate, wherein the pigment layer adheres at least in sections to the intermediate substrate; and separating intermediate substrate and starting substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT CURRENCY TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Christian Fuhse, Manfred Heim, Patrick Renner, Michael Rahm, Thomas Mang, Christoph Mengel, Peter Schiffmann, Maik Rudolf Johann Scherer, Christoph Hunger

Publication number: 20230089493Abstract: Systems and methods for dispatching a fleet of vehicles includes determining a total time expectation for a trip for a vehicle. The total time expectation includes a service time expectation that is different from a travel time for the first trip. The method also includes receiving one or more requests for a new trip and determining, based at least in part on the total time expectation for the trip, whether to assign the new trip to the vehicle. In some embodiments, the service time expectation is determined based on historical data or a user preference. In some embodiments, the service time expectation is generated by a model that is trained using historical data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: goBrands, Inc.Inventors: Prachie Banthia, Brett Bavar, Kevin Patrick Renner

Patent number: 11034182Abstract: A platelet-shaped pigment with a layer construction comprises the following layers in the order, optionally a carrier substrate; a transparent embossing lacquer layer with an embossed relief structure; a reflection-increasing coating which follows the relief structure and forms a reflecting microstructure, wherein the reflecting microstructure is present in the form of a mosaic of a multiplicity of reflecting mosaic elements and the reflecting mosaic elements do not reflect the incident light in the direction of the specular reflex, regarding the plane of the platelet, but in a spatial direction deviating therefrom and respectively have a lateral dimension 1 greater than 2 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT CURRENCY TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Christian Fuhse, Michael Rahm, Manfred Heim, Patrick Renner, Peter Schiffmann, Christoph Mengel

Patent number: 9683972Abstract: A method is for examining a sheet-shaped or card-shaped value document with a security feature having one or more cavities configured in the value document. The width of the cavity or cavities is in at least one respectively specified direction exceeding 10 ?m. Transmission values are established in a locally resolved manner for the transmission of ultrasound in a specified frequency range. In employing the transmission values, it is checked whether a specified number of transmission values is greater than a specified transmission threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2012Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: GIESECKE & DEVRIENT GMBHInventors: Jan Domke, Stefan Kokrhoun, Patrick Renner, Andre Gregarek

Patent number: 9248689Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a security element (1), to a security element (1) obtainable by the method according to the invention, to transfer materials having the security elements according to the invention, and to objects of value secured with the security elements according to the invention. The security element (1) according to the invention has two functional layers (12, 22) which are bonded together by means of a resist layer (30). The resist layer (30) has a pattern which is employed to generate a congruent pattern in the first functional layer (12). Then the pattern of the resist layer (30), and thus also of the first functional layer (12), is exactly reproduced in the second functional layer (22). This is achieved by bonding the second functional layer (22) in the form of the pattern of the resist layer (30). The non-bonded areas of the second functional layer (22) are removed, thereby forming negative writing.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2009Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: GIESECKE & DEVRIENT GMBHInventors: Winfried Hoffmuller, Patrick Renner, Manfred Heim, Theodor Burchard

The security element (1) according to the invention has at least two functional layers (12, 22), whereby each functional layer forms a motif and the motifs are either congruent, or one motif represents a photographic negative of the other motif. In the method according to the invention, the motif of one functional layer (12) is transferred into the other functional layer (22) with the help of an adhesive layer (30).Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Winfried Hoffmuller, Patrick Renner, Manfred Heim

Patent number: 8685488Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a micropattern on a substrate (22), in which a substrate (22) is provided with a relief pattern (26, 28) that exhibits elevations (26) and depressions (28), and in which the elevations (26) and/or depressions (26) are arranged in the form of the desired micropattern, and with a printing tool, an imprint material (30; 34) is transferred to the relief pattern (26, 28), the viscosity of the imprint material (30; 34) being chosen such that the imprint material (30; 34) is selectively transferred either substantially only onto the elevations (26) or substantially only into the depressions (28) of the relief pattern.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2008Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Winfried Hoffmuller, Theodor Burchard, Marius Dichtl, Patrick Renner, Michael Rahm, Manfred Heim, Lars Hoffmann, Manfred Dotzler, Ralf Liebler, Mario Keller
