Patent number: 9533523Abstract: The invention relates to a reflective feature, e.g., reflective security feature or reflective decorative feature, comprising a first element at least partially coplanar with a second element. The first element causes incident light to be reflected with a first intensity that varies as the angle of incidence changes relative to a surface of the reflective feature. The invention also relates to a direct write printing process for forming such a reflective feature from an ink comprising metallic nanoparticles.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: SICPA HOLDING SAInventors: Richard Einhorn, Mark Hampden-Smith, Miodrag Oljaca, Jainisha Shah

Publication number: 20120138856Abstract: A phosphor composition comprises a host lattice, a dopant and a decay modifying component different from the dopant and the host lattice and effective to alter the rate of decay of the radiation emitted by the phosphor composition in response to excitation by photons of a given energy. The decay modifying component is added to the phosphor composition in a predetermined amount between 1 and 10,000 parts per million of the composition. By varying the amount of the decay modifying component added to the phosphor composition, it is possible to produce a set of phosphor compositions with different, controlled rates of decay of the radiation emitted by the compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: CABOT CORPORATIONInventors: Scott Haubrich, Jainisha Shah, Liam Noailles, Gary Darsey, Richard Einhorn, James Brewster

Patent number: 8070186Abstract: The invention relates to reflective features formed from multiple inks. In one embodiment, the reflective feature includes a substrate having a first region and a second region, the first and second regions having different surface characteristics; a first reflective element disposed on the first region; and a second reflective element disposed on the second region, wherein the first reflective element is more adherent than the second reflective element to the first region. In another embodiment, the reflective feature includes multiple layers formed from different inks exhibiting enhanced reflectivity and/or durability. The invention is also to processes for forming these features, preferably through a direct write printing process.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Cabot CorporationInventors: Richard A.

Patent number: 7674532Abstract: Security films that are useful for pharmaceutical packaging. In particular, anti-counterfeiting security films having a luminescent composition on or in a fluoropolymer layer, which luminescent composition luminesces upon the application of ultraviolet radiation in the 200 nm to 300 nm range, in which the luminescent component is optionally and preferably not viewable to the unaided eye. The films are particularly useful for the formation of anti-counterfeiting blister packaging in compliance with FDA regulations.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2004Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International IncInventors: Richard A.
