Abstract: There is described a substrate (S) for security documents, such as banknotes, comprising one or more paper layers (11, 12) and a polymer layer (20) which is made to adhere to a side of at least one of the paper layers (11, 12), which polymer layer (20) is substantially transparent in at least one region of the substrate (S) which is not covered by the paper layer or layers (11, 12) so as to form a substantially transparent window (W) in the substrate (S) which is formed and closed by the polymer layer (20). The polymer layer (20) exhibits in the region of the window (W) a thickness (T) which is greater than a thickness (t) of the polymer layer (20) outside of the region of the window (W). The thickness (T) of the polymer layer (20) in the region of the window (W) is substantially equal to the added thickness of the paper layer or layers (11, 12) and of the polymer layer (20) outside of the region of the (W) so that the substrate (S) exhibits a substantially uniform and constant thickness (T). The substrate (S) further comprises a micro-optical structure (30), in particular a lens structure, which is disposed in the region of the window (W) on at least one side of the polymer layer (20).

Abstract: There is described a printed security feature (1) provided onto a printable substrate, which security feature includes a printed area (100) consisting of a multiplicity of adjacent rectilinear and/or curvilinear elements (110, 120) printed with a given spatial frequency. The rectilinear and/or curvilinear elements are printed with at least first and second inks which exhibit the same or substantially the same optical appearance when illuminated with visible white light, such that the security feature produces a first graphical representation when illuminated with visible white light, at least the first ink being an ink which responds to non-visible light excitation by producing a characteristic optical response differentiating the first ink from the second ink. The security feature produces a second graphical representation when illuminated with non-visible light, which second graphical representation exhibits a distinctive two-dimensional graphic element (B) which is revealed only when the security feature is illuminated with non-visible light. Inside boundaries (160) of the distinctive two-dimensional graphic element, a part (P3) of the rectilinear and/or curvilinear elements is printed with a combination

Abstract: A method of authenticating security documents and a mobile device, especially a smartphone, programmed to carry out the method, based on an analysis of features which are produced by intaglio printing, which analysis involves a decomposition of sample images of a candidate document to be authenticated based on Wavelets, each sample image being digitally processed by performing a Wavelet transform of the sample image in order to derive a set of classification features. The method is based on an adaptive approach, which includes the following steps: —prior to carrying out the Wavelet transform, defining a categorization map containing local information about different intaglio line structures that are found on the security documents; —carrying out a Wavelet selection amongst a pool of Wavelet types based on the categorization map; and —performing the Wavelet transform of the sample image on the basis of the selected Wavelet.

In another embodiment, the field of lenses (L) is replicated into the transparent polymer material (2) applied in the opening (10) in such a way as to form lenses (L) on a second side (II) of the security paper substrate (1), opposite to the first side (I), in register with the opening (10). Also described is a device designed to fill the opening (10) formed into the security paper substrate (1) with the transparent polymer material (2) and a processing machine comprising the same.

Abstract translation: 描述了在安全纸基材（1）中产生具有透镜领域（L）的透明聚合物窗（W）的方法，所述方法包括以下步骤：（i）提供安全纸基材（1），（ ii）在安全纸基材（1）中形成开口（10），（iii）将透明膜（5; 5 *）层压到安全纸基材（1）的第一侧（I）上，方式如 在一端封闭开口（10），和（iv）用透明聚合物材料（2）填充开口（10）。 在一个实施例中，透明膜（5）包括透镜区域（L），并且以这样的方式层压到安全纸基板（1）的第一侧面（I）上，以便在第一 安全纸基板（1）的与开口（10）对齐的侧面（I）。 在另一个实施例中，透镜（L）的场被复制到施加在开口（10）中的透明聚合物材料（2）中，以便在安全纸的第二侧（II）上形成透镜（L） 衬底（1）与第一侧（I）相对，与开口（10）对准。 还描述了设计成用透明聚合物材料（2）填充形成安全纸基材（1）的开口（10）的装置和包括该开口的加工机。
