An identification band to be secured to the arm or other limb of a wearer and intended to have the name or other appropriate identification of the person to which the band may be applied. The band comprises an elongated tube of nonelastic material which is preferably transparent, to allow an identification card to be inserted in the tube and to be visible through the wall thereof, bearing the name or other identification of the person. One end of the band has a clip applied thereto while the opp...

An identification system including a card preparation system, a memory system, remote card reading stations, a comparator, accessory device, and a control means connected between each of said items. The card preparation system records distinct patterns on identification cards. The control means directs the operation of the information retrieval system. The memory system stores identifying information characteristics as well as distinct coded patterns that are placed on the cards. The remote card...

In an identification assembly of the type having an elongated flexible band with fastening means for locking to the limb of a patient wherein the improvement comprises the addition thereto of an identification label dispenser holding a plurality of patient identification labels, with the dispenser including means for holding the labels so that no label can be added without resultant indication thereof. All but one of the labels are removably held and removal thereof requires a pulling force whic...

This invention comprises a system for identifying persons by means of checks, badges, tokens, or the like. The system includes apparatus for analyzing the signature of the person to be identified to determine certain characteristics which can be digitally expressed; an encoder for encoding the digital information representing the signature; a card embosser for recording that digital encoding onto a check, token, badge, or the like; said token etc., which remains in the possession of the person t...

A credential, such as a passport or an identification card, is provided, for example by impregnation or coating, with a phosphorescent composition which includes at least two phosphorescence activators which exhibit different emission characteristics both with respect to wavelength and lifetime so that, when the composition is irradiated, the initial afterglow changes color, for example from green to blue.

A security document such as an identification card including a base layer having at least one surface bonded and security markings printed on that surface. The bonded surface is covered by a protective layer including a film of material fused thereto so as to form a matrix encapsulating the printed security markings (which may include a xerographically reproduced photograph).

Identification card, including a card body, an integrated semiconductor circuit being mechanically inserted and protected in the card body for storing data to be read-out and read-in in changed form, a receiving antenna device, a rectifier circuit connected to the receiving antenna device, a filter circuit connected between the rectifier circuit and the integrated semiconductor circuit. The rectifier and filter circuits generate a supply voltage for the integrated semiconductor circuit from an e...

An improved identification locket having magnifying lens, a case, a frame for retaining a transparent transcript and means for opening and closing the case, also includes a support for maintaining the lens at a fixed distance from the frame and for preventing movement between the cover and frame in the open position. The support includes a first and second slotted arm attached to a first and second slide pin; each arm having a keeper for lockingly retaining the slide pin when the locket is in th...

A monolithic laminate identification card which contains at least two layers (26, 27) with different optical permeability or color. The adjoining joinable surfaces of these layers are provided with complementary, interlocking embossed and debossed formations (21, 22). Under transmitted light a sign or image corresponding to these embossed and debossed formations can be seen that has a different brightness or color from the rest of the card (25).

An identification system comprising an intermittent electromagnetic generator at one frequency and a remote receiver for receiving the electromagnetic energy and using it to power an encoder of digital information and a transmitter at a different frequency for transmitting the encoder digital information and a receiver remote from said transmitter for decoding and comparing the decoded digital data with stored data to initiate commands for functions such as feeding, ration dispensing, and the li...
