A security blank includes a sheet, and an elongated security thread connected to the sheet. The security thread may be identified upon being irradiated by electromagnetic radiation by a recognizable signature from radiation scattered therefrom; the cross-section of the security thread is other than circular or rectangular and is substantially constant over a prearranged portion of the length thereof.

Method and an apparatus for determining the genuineness of a security

A security blank is formed with a light-redirecting spatial structure including a deterministic component establishing at least one authenticating feature, and a stochastic component superimposed on the deterministic component, and sufficiently obscuring the deterministic component so as largely to frustrate recognition of the function of the authenticating feature by intensity measurement of light reflected therefrom. Recognition of the function of the authenticating feature is made possible by a method and an apparatus measuring the degree of coherence of two narrow bundles of light rays obtained from light reflected from the spatial structure upon its illumination by light of a selected wavelength.

Security blank with enhanced authenticating features, and a method and

A cell which is arranged to allow the transfer of charges between two electrodes, includes two electrically conducting electrodes spaced apart from one another, and a solid dielectric material disposed between the electrodes, and including a certain quantity of carriers of a positive charge trapped therein.
