  • MANUFACTURED PRODUCT WITH OPTICALLY ENCODED PARTICLE TAG AND ID METHOD
    Publication number: 20150076412
    Abstract: The invention concerns an article of manufacture that is a manufactured product marked with a microparticle and a method of marking manufactured produces. The microparticle tag includes a predetermined code embedded in its physical structure by refractive index changes between different regions of the particle. The particle has a diameter of a few hundred microns or less and has a plurality of layers.
