Patents by Inventor Tomasz Marek Jagielinski

Tomasz Marek Jagielinski has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7628326
    Abstract: A magnetic detection system for authenticating a document includes a first magnetic scanhead adapted to create a first magnetic field for saturating the magnetization of an area on each of the bills. The magnetic detection system further includes a second magnetic scanhead with an electromagnet. The electromagnet is capable of creating a second magnetic field of adjustable intensity. The second magnetic field is the opposite polarity of the first magnetic field. The intensity of the second magnetic field is adjusted by changing the amount of current supplied to the electromagnet. The amount of current supplied to the electromagnet is based upon a characteristic of the document to be authenticated.

  • Patent number: 5717381
    Abstract: A copyright protection system is provided in which copyrighted articles, such as documents and photos, have associated with the article magnetic material which is detected when the article is copied on a scanner/reproducing machine. The magnetic material may be secured to the article so that it cannot be removed without destroying the article, or the magnetic material may form part of the article. The scanner/reproducing machine is provided with a magnetic detection system for automatically detecting the copyrighted article.

  • Patent number: 5689184
    Abstract: Apparatus for detecting a magnetizable or conductive object which passes through a magnetic detecting field. The apparatus includes first and second spaced coils for producing a magnetic field between the spaced coils; first and second magnetic field detectors respectively located within the coils with their sensitive axes parallel to the direction of passage of a magnetizable object between the spaced coils and perpendicular to the primary field of the coils; and electrical circuitry coupled to the first and second magnetic field detectors for producing a detection signal in which common mode field noise and thermally induced noise is substantially eliminated.
