Latest Patents
One of Mark Bofill's latest patents is a lottery ticket validation system. This system validates a probability lottery ticket that has predetermined play rules and includes player removable material covering play spots. The validation data is printed on the ticket in the form of a bar code. The system comprises a housing, a controller, a document channel, a sensor, a data reader, a transport mechanism, a scanning circuit, a memory, a processor, and a stigmatization circuit. The sensor includes an optical detector that is operatively connected to the controller. The data reader is designed to read the bar code, while the transport mechanism ensures the ticket is properly aligned for validation. The scanning circuit scans the ticket for removed play spots and generates a validation signal. The processor verifies the ticket and manages the exit of the ticket from the document channel. The stigmatization circuit changes the color of the ticket before it exits the channel.
Another significant patent is the electronic verification machine for documents. This invention determines the authenticity and integrity of various types of documents, including lottery tickets. The machine compares data contained in electronic circuits printed on the document to the printed document data. The electronic circuits are created using conductive or semiconductive ink, and their presence can be used to verify the document. The electronic verification machine measures the electrical signature of the circuit to validate the ticket and determine its redemption value.
