  • Publication number: 20140322557
    Abstract: Method for producing an aluminum foil with integrated security features. An aluminum foil is rolled to a thickness of less than 150 ?m in multiple cold rolling passes, and simultaneously a texture which runs in the rolling direction is produced on both faces of the foil. A loose composite formed from at least two of the aluminum foils, is fed into a pair of working rollers in a final cold rolling pass, wherein the relief-like surface structure which is produced in the rolling direction via a polishing process has been reduced by 10 to 50% with respect to the average roughness height in one region in a contrast- and motif-dependent manner on at least one roller surface in order to form a motif for a security feature. The security feature is transferred onto the aluminum foil face facing the roller surface, and the loose composite of aluminum foils is separated.

  • Patent number: 7860297
    Abstract: In a method for detecting the deformation of objects (1), a sequence of pictures of the object (1) is taken with a measurement method during the deformation of the object (1). From the pictures, phase images are determined. To improve such method, there is formed the difference between the current phase image or the respective current phase image and the phase image of an initial state. This difference or these differences is/are evaluated and/or displayed on a visual display unit and/or stored.
