A security device that elicits at least one dynamic response upon acceleration, or upon change of orientation with respect to gravity, wherein the dynamic response continues after cessation of the acceleration or the change of orientation. In addition, the dynamic response can be optical, such that it is visually observable by an unaided human eye. Alternatively, the response can be machine readable. In some cases, the dynamic response has duration of from about 0.01 s to about 100 s, or from about Is to about 10 s.

The invention discloses a physically unclonable structural-color anti-counterfeiting label with artificial intelligence (AI) authentication, which is formed by doping micron-sized particles into disorderedly arranged monodisperse submicron-sized particles and coating onto a black substrate; alternatively, by doping micron-sized particles and black nanoparticles into disorderedly arranged monodisperse submicron-sized particles and coating onto a substrate. The disordered arrangement of monodisperse submicron-sized microspheres has a special effect on light to make the anti-counterfeiting label show a specific structural color. AI is used to learn the anti-counterfeiting label images obtained from an optical microscope and memorize their structural characteristics to form an anti-counterfeiting label database. The optical microscope images of the anti-counterfeiting labels taken by end users or in any circulation links are sent to the database to compare with structural characteristics in the database, and a similarity value is fed back by AI to realize the function of anti-counterfeiting and authenticity verification.

The present disclosure is drawn to setting printer parameters. In one example, a method of setting printer parameters can include loading a print medium into a printer. The print medium can include a print surface and an identification code on the print surface, the identification code including multiple surface property discontinuities on the print surface, wherein the print surface is continuous at the multiple surface property discontinuities, and wherein the multiple surface property discontinuities are non-additive and are grouped together at a location on the print surface. The surface property discontinuities can be detected using a sensor integrated with the printer to read the identification code. An operating parameter of the printer can be selected based on the identification code.

A method and apparatus for printing a security mark via a non-fluorescent toner is disclosed. For example, the method may be executed by a processor and includes receiving an electronic file of a security mark to be printed on a substrate, determining an amount of halftone coverage for a non-fluorescent toner based on a brightness of the substrate, converting the electronic file of the security mark into a printer description language with the amount of halftone coverage that is determined, and causing the security mark to be printed on the substrate.
