Abstract: A bar code including a first linear bar code portion, and portions with two-dimensional bar codes at the ends of the first bar code portion. A separation through the first portion. The two-dimensional bar code at each end is inverted from the other end, and in an embodiment is also rotated 180.degree., which enable the two-dimensional bar codes on separated parts of the single bar code to be identical.

Abstract: An optically variable device (OVD) is provided that includes a barcode rendered from a three-dimensional barcode. To increase the readability of the barcode rendered in the OVD, the bars of the three-dimensional barcode may have tapered sidewalls and depths that are small compared to their heights and widths. The barcode may be rendered in the OVD such that it is viewable only at certain angles or using certain wavelengths of light. Also provided is a barcode of multiple portions where a portion is rendered in an OVD and another portion is otherwise provided (e.g., printed). Such a barcode may have portions that are readable as independent barcodes and are also readable together as a single, compound barcode. Also provided is a method where a plurality of OVDs with unique images are associated with products, e.g., packaged together, so that receipt of a package of products with non-unique images indicates counterfeiting.

Abstract: A method and system for personalizing goods or services by including thereon a visible indication of the person or persons that are intended to utilize the goods and services. In one embodiment, based on computer processing, a series of parameters are calculated that can be used to generate a composite drawing (e.g., a line drawing) of the intended customer. Having created such a series of parameters, those parameters can be sent to the generator of the ticket or other personalized good. The generator can then use that series of parameters to print the composite drawing on the personalized good, either at the same time the good is originally printed or prior to providing the personalized good to the consumer. Alternatively, by receiving a customer number with the transaction confirmation from the credit card company, the merchant can download a full picture of the customer to be included on the personalized good.

Abstract: Bar code information is printed on a printable surface associated with a product, such as a label or container of the product, or the product itself, during a production run under the control of a printer computer. The bar code information may include two components of a composite bar code symbol, where the first component is either pre-printed or printed during a production run, and the second component is printed during the production run. The first component may identify a product that is carried in the containers, while the second component identifies a lot, batch, expiration date or commodity number. In another aspect, check data is used to confirm the accuracy of information that is used by a printer computer to control a printer. In another aspect, first and second bar code symbols portions are read to recover information, and a database is accessed to determine if the recovered information is consistent.

Abstract: A system and method is provided that includes generating a combined bar code symbol and image that is readable by a bar code scanner device. The system comprises a computer program that provides an image and a bar code symbol and combines the bar code symbol with the image such that the bar code symbol is readable by the bar code scanner device. The system processes the image and bar code symbol by comparing the properties corresponding to the image, the bar code symbol (e.g., color values), and properties corresponding to the bar code scanner sensitivity values associated with the bar code scanner device. The processed bar code symbol that is combined with the processed image is readable by the bar code scanner device.

Abstract: A printability gauge which make it possible for an observer by visual inspection of the gauge to determine the degree to which the dimensions of a printed bar code symbol deviate from the dimensions of an ideal bar code symbol defined by bars and spaces whose dimensions are derived from a unit bar of predetermined thickness. The gauge includes a checkerboard pattern whose black and white squares are all of the same size only when the thickness of the unit bar in the printed symbol matches that of the ideal symbol whereby the checkerboard pattern then appears to the observer to be 50 percent gray. Should the unit bar in the printed symbol, as a result of a processing error, be thicker than in the ideal symbol, then the size of the black squares will be correspondingly enlarged at the expense of the white squares, and the checkerboard pattern will then appear to be more than 50 percent gray. But should the unit bar in the printed symbol be thinner than in the ideal symbol, then the size of the white squares will be enlarged at the expense of the black squares and the checkerboard pattern will appear to be less than 50 percent gray.
