Abstract: A security feature for an identification document and method for making it provide layers of security, including, for example, tamper evidence, optically variable effects, and personalized information that links the security information to the document and its bearer. The feature is made by printing a first material representing first information on a core layer of the document. This first material at least partially overlaps the core layer. One example is Xerographic printing of information about the ID document applicant and the applicant's photo. The process also applies a second material representing second information adjacent to the first material. One example is ink jet printing of personal information with a UV curable ink in the form of a relief pattern on the core layer. Finally, the process applies a laminate layer over the core layer. The laminate layer covers the first and second materials.

Abstract: A lighting device for illuminating an object from a light source includes a housing having an inner surface portions of which are diffusely reflective and an aperture disposed in the housing aligned with the light source. The lighting device further includes a diffuser positioned between the light source and the object and a reflector disposed adjacent the aperture between the light source and the diffuser.
