The invention pertains to the use of sophisticated chemical formulation and spectroscopic design methods to select taggants compatible with the 3D print medium that are easily detected spectroscopically but otherwise compatible with the product, structural integrity and stability, and aesthetics. A spectral pattern employs a different chemical or combination of chemicals to alter the formulation of all or some portion of the printed object so that its authenticity can be monitored later using a spectrometer.

Use of 3D printing for anticounterfeiting

Multisource fusion of data is used on a handheld device to create a portable analytical verifier, including the ability to verify based on product wrapping or using a re-turned code to check the product or wrapping. Data words are extracted from authentication media by testing to see whether particular taggants are present, using spectroscopic analysis.

Data word analysis by spectroscopy

A boxhaving a bodyis used with a transparent flexible bag containing a liquid such as an IV bag. First and second facesare positioned relative to each other. The faces each have therewithin an end or fiber optic portof a respective light path. A light source is optically coupled with the light path of the first face and a spectrometer is optically coupled with the light path of the second face. The light paths are coaxial and are disposed so that the transparent flexible bag is positionable therebetween. The spectrometer is disposed to detect an anomaly in the liquid within the transparent flexible bag, and to annunciate the anomaly to a human user. The box defines a reproducible light path length through the liquid. A caliperhaving a bodymay be used in spectrometric analysis of a transparent tube containing a liquid such as a syringe or an IV line. The caliper has finger padswhich permit opening the spring-loaded caliper as needed. Rivetsprovide a pivoting action relative to a pivot structurewhich can also serve as a distance gauge. Compression springurges the caliper jaws together at lens locations. Lens locationsare optically coupled with internal fiber optic linesand thence to external fiber optic connectors. A light source is optically coupled with one of the connectorsand a spectrometer is optically coupled with the other of the connectors

Spectrometric analysis of fluids in-situ

A software system that uses the rigor and rules of business process automation to capture and structure organizational expertise, processes, and procedures&#x2014;the non-automatable activities and actions of an organization&#x2014;into a single, common, enterprise-wide, information framework. The capture function is engineered for usability and structured to reflect the patterns and semantics of business users rather than imposing software or process terminology. The produced framework generates a process-driven, centralized taxonomy of information and resources as business requirements are captured. The framework delivers users an organization-specific context to activities and information to be used for learning, training, reference, improvisation, collaboration, and operations. Said system has application in disseminating policies, procedures and compliance; business continuity; improved productivity and culture; training and learning; increasing the return on existing and requirements gathering for future IT investments; employee attrition, retention, and onboarding; capturing and managing knowledge and intellectual capital; and continuous improvement and process reengineering.

Software system for managing information in context

Digitized images are associated with English language captions and other data, collectively known as the metadata associated with the images. A natural language processing database removes ambiguities from the metadata, and the images and the metadata are stored in databases. A user formulates a search query, and natural language processing is used to determine matches between the query and the stored metadata. Images corresponding to the matches are then viewed, and desired images are selected for licensing. The license terms for selected images are displayed, and a subset of the selected images are ordered as desired by the user.
