A patent has been issued for a smartphone or tablet device that can generate a digital identifier for a copy of a printed product. The device uses an optoelectronic detection device to capture digital image information of the print image, evaluates the brightness intensity of each pixel, and creates a representation of the print image. The digital identifier is based on the brightness intensities of the pixels and can be used to distinguish copies of the printed product produced on different production equipment. The device also includes a display to show the digital identifier. The method aims to provide an objective and automated way to identify and categorize copies of printed products, such as banknotes or identification documents. The patent is assigned to Koenig & Bauer AG. [Extracted from the article]

Ecolab USA Inc. has been issued a patent for a method of controlling the hygiene of a portable packaged food container. The patent describes a system that automatically conducts hygiene cycles for the interior of a food delivery box, ensuring food hygiene. The system includes a hygiene device that can be attached to the box, a user interface device for controlling the hygiene cycles, and the ability to collect and transmit information related to the hygiene cycles. The method involves verifying the emptiness of the box, starting an automatic hygiene cycle, recording information about the cycle, and transmitting it for analysis and monitoring. This technology aims to improve the consistency and effectiveness of cleaning and sanitizing food delivery boxes. [Extracted from the article]

A patent has been issued for an additive printing method that allows for the printing of a functional print pattern on the surface of a three-dimensional object. The method involves using a print head with multiple print nozzles to generate a relative movement between the object and the print head, allowing for the printing of the pattern during this movement. The method also includes generating three-dimensional and two-dimensional geometrical surface data to ensure accurate printing. The invention aims to provide a uniform and homogenous thickness to the printed pattern, with high throughput. The patent is assigned to Heraeus Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG. [Extracted from the article]
