Patent number: 8268623Abstract: A method and means for identifying the authenticity and the genuine nature of a solid or liquid bulk material, by incorporating a marking composition containing at least one trace ion into the said bulk material, whereby the total concentration of the incorporated trace ions in the market bulk material is chosen to be lower than the corresponding concentration of the same ions in standard sea water. The authenticity and the genuine nature or the adulteration level of the marked bulk material can be tested in-the-field using electrochemical sensors, and confirmed in the laboratory using a method such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, ion chromatography or mass spectrometry.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: SICPA Holding SAInventors: Thomas Tiller, Sylvain Jaquier, Xavier Marguerettaz

Patent number: 7735988Abstract: Non-visible ink jet printing ink composition for marking a substrate, having at least one marking compound absorbing light outside the visible wavelength range of about 400-700 nm, and which contains a hydrocarbon compound, having two to six carbon atoms carrying two or three hydroxyl groups, as a non-particulate matting agent, so as to adapt the gloss of the ink-jet printed marking to the gloss of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2004Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: SICPA Holding S.A.Inventors: Thomas Tiller, Xavier Marguerettaz

Patent number: 7402614Abstract: Re-dispersible pigmented printing ink compositions, preferably for the continuous ink jet printing process are obtained by the addition of a flocculating agent to the pigment dispersion in the printing liquid. The compositions do not form hard sediments and are easy to re-disperse on stopping and resuming the printing operations. Suitable flocculating agents bind the pigment particles in the sediment into three-dimensional “airy” structures, which are easy to break up. The ink compositions of the invention are furthermore characterized by a good printability in the dispersed state.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2002Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: SICPA Holding S.A.Inventors: Xavier Marguerettaz, Thomas Tiller, Edgar Muller, Frederic Gremaud, Sylvain Jaquier

Publication number: 20060051494Abstract: The invention concerns a method, a device and a system for applying a detectable temporary mark of predefined life time of minutes to hours onto an object (0). The invention also concerns a coating composition comprising a short-lived radioactive isotope and the use of a short-lived radioactive isotope as a temporary marking. The temporary mark is applied to the object (O) by the means of a coating composition (3) comprising a low level of a short-lived radionuclide, generated in situ from a longer-lived precursor nucleus. The marking device comprises a radionuclide generator (1), a reservoir (2) for the in situ preparing the radioactively marked printing ink, and an ink-jet or alike printing or spraying head (8), preferably of the dropon-demand type. The marking is preferably detected and identified by a gamma-radiation counter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2003Publication date: March 9, 2006Applicant: SICPA Holding S.A.Inventors: Edgar Muller, Thomas Tiller, Xavier Marguerettaz, Myron Seto
