An electronic device may include electrical components and other components mounted within an interior of a housing. The device may have a display on a front face of the device and may have a glass layer that forms part of the housing on a rear face of the device. The glass layer may be provided with regions having different appearances. The regions may be textured, may have coatings such as thin-film interference filter coatings formed from stacks of dielectric material having alternating indices of refraction, may have metal coating layers, and/or may have ink coating layers. Textured surfaces may be formed on thin glass layers and polymer films that are coupled to the glass layer. A glass layer may be formed from a pair of coupled glass layers. The coupled layers may have one or more recesses or other structures to visually distinguish different regions of the glass layer.

A tool kit has a first set of tools of a first standard and of different sizes, a second set of tools of a different second standard and of different sizes, and a holder adapted to receive the first and second set of tools intermixed with each other in an integrated sequence arranged according to size irrespective of standard. The different standards may be indicated by different colors or other indicia, or by positions, such as offset rows that preserve the sequence.

The present invention discloses a tag for placement within a dishwasher to indicate at least one of a running of a dishwasher run cycle and/or a clean condition of items placed within the dishwasher upon completion of the cycle. The tag includes a body adapted to being supported within an interior of the dishwasher so that a surface of the body is visible. A patch of material is formed upon the surface of said body and constructed of a dissolvable material, such that the patch is caused to be dissolved upon activation of the wash cycle.

The invention discloses a system for marking and identifying an object comprising at least one bio-mineralised structure having a mean maximum diameter of less than 500 m distinctively associated with the object. Identifying means are provided to identify the bio-mineralised structure associated with the object and provides a data output regarding the bio-mineralised structure which can be interpreted against a database, thereby providing information on the object. The invention extends to a method of marking and identifying an object utilising the aforementioned components.

A label for identifying a genuine article comprising lenticular lens with a plurality of semi-cylindrical convex lens or a microlens with a plurality of semi-circular convex lenses, a focal distance layer, and an image forming layer, wherein the image forming layer includes periodically and regularly arranged nanostructures.

The present invention relates to a labeling element for items, which on a surface thereof is formed with a plurality of pixels with periodic lattice structures, in particular linear lattice structures. Lattice structures with in each case one structural period and an alignment of the structural elements, which are aligned to one another in particular in a linear parallel manner, at an angle with respect to an axis of reference are formed in individual pixels such that when the pixels constituting the labeling element are irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, preferably monochromatic electromagnetic radiation, an image of the labeling element is created on an detector array or a surface, by means of images of at least one order of diffraction of the electromagnetic radiation diffracted by pixels which can be used for identification of the respective labeling element.

The inventor here discloses destructive (self-destructing) documents useful for the protection of confidential information. The invention comprises a document which can be easily and instantly broken down into dozens of individual components, hence obliterating any information contained thereon. As the self-destruction of the document requires no extraneous equipment for destruction and guarantees elimination of readable data, the invention represents a vast improvement over the state of the art. Numerous embodiments of the document of the invention specialized for different applications are illustrated and described.

A label has a topcoat layer and a sacrificial layer. The topcoat layer has a first color having a first L-value and the sacrificial layer has a second color having a second L-value. The topcoat layer comprises at least one reflective pigment and a polymeric binder and the sacrificial layer comprises at least one infrared (IR) absorbing material and a polymeric binder. The first L-value is greater than the second L-value, and the total amount of the at least one reflective pigment is from 40 wt % to 80 wt %, based on the weight of the topcoat layer.

The present invention relate549N01Ss to a web authentication hologram label and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a web authentication hologram label and a method for manufacturing the same which in forming a web authentication label for identifying a genuine article, enable enhancement of a forgery (and falsification) preventing function as well as duplicate authentication for confirming whether or not an article is genuine to be substantially impossible by means of adopting one-time authentication.
