Fluorescent security glass
| DWPI Title: Method for detecting tampering of e.g. cables with e.g. soda-lime glass used for security applications, involves comparing baseline to later status to determine whether attempted tampering has occurred |
| Abstract: A tamper-evident glass and methods of using the tamper-evident glass are provided herein. The tamper-evident glass comprising at least a first plurality of tamper-evident elements, which may be unique or near unique to each manufacturing of tam per-evident glass. The initial state of tamper-evident glass and positioning of the plurality of tamper-evident elements may be mapped through digital scanning to create a digital file of the current state of the tamper-evident glass. The tamper-evident glass may be scanned again to create a new digital file for comparison and to determine if a tampering event has occurred. The tamper-evident elements may include any combination of inorganic fluorescent material, crystals grown through nucleation and crystallization, or added colorants. |
| Use: Method for detecting tampering of objects e.g. cables and wires, with a tamper-evident glass (claimed) e.g. soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass, used for security applications. |
| Advantage: The method enables ensuring that security or anti-tamper glass may provide a quick and identifiable indication to a user if a tampering event has occurred. The method enables providing a tamper-evident or anti-tamper glass that provides a unique identifier for implementing a quick and identifiable technology of determining whether the glass is replaced with a recreation. |
| Novelty: The method involves performing first inspection of a tamper-evident glass (100) to create a baseline of an initial state of the tamper-evident glass, where the tamper-evident glass comprises a set of inorganic fluorescent objects throughout a dimension of the tamper-evident glass. Second inspection of the object comprising the tamper-evident glass is performed to create a later status of the tamper-evident glass. The baseline is compared to a later status to determine whether an attempted tampering has occurred. A digital file of a distribution of the set of inorganic fluorescent objects is created responsive to a digital scanning , where the tamper-evident glass comprises first set of tamper-evident elements (102), which is Inorganic fluorescent material (104) and second set of tamper-evident elements, which is a crystal. |
