World's Ist Holographic RFID Tag
FID and holograms are two
Rof the world's favorite
technologies used against
counterfeiting. It is a joy to see them
get together in one pretty little security
device, the result being the WORLD's
FIRST HOLOGRAPHIC—RFID
TAG, used by Hitachi and printing
experts at Toppan in Japan.
The hologram element is costly to fake
without large-scale facilities, while the
RFID data is encrypted and even more
difficult to crack.
On top of this, the stickers they are
rooted to, cannot be peeled off, without
being broken into pieces.
The ' IC Hologram' combines two
technologies with a view to make
tracking and verifying authenticity
of a product as watertight as
possible. Likely future application
include using it to secure batches of
medicines, but for now it is going
to keep tabs on really important
stuff like designer perfumes and
handbags.
According to sources nearly £100
billion are lost to counterfeiters every
year.

Auto Piracy - Problem Solution
hen it comes to intellectual
Wproperty theft and piracy,
most people think of movies
and high-end handbags- but what if the
brakes on your car were fake? Clearly,
the auto parts industry has a piracy
problem. The FBI estimates that the
auto industry loses $12 billion in annual
sales due to counterfeiting. China
accounts for $9 billion of counterfeit
auto parts loses.
What are fake parts?
Counterfeit Auto Parts is the selling of
unauthorized parts to be used in repair
and maintenance of an automobile.
Virtually every automotive part has
turned up in counterfeit trade, including
windshield glass, brake fluid, brakes,
headlights, taillights, emissions
components, tires, belts, hoses,
alternators, sheet metal and suspension
parts. The extent of it being that an
entire car was copied, manufactured
and sold not as a Chevy but as a “Chery
QQ,” with plans for export.
What's d i fferent now i s the
sophistication of the industrialisation

What are the damages
and risks?
Illegal trade in counterfeits

competitiveness of the
automotive industry
Knock-off parts mean fewer
jobs for manufacturing companies
and loss in sales
With counterfeit auto parts, the concern
goes beyond monetary losses. Fake parts
are cheaper for a reason- they cut corners
and use poor quality materials, and the
consumer pays the price in the end.
The physical dangers and risks
involved in using these parts, is a
grave concern. It is frightening to
know, that authorities have found
brake linings made of compressed
grass, sawdust or cardboard that wear
out quickly; spark plugs that overheat
and can lead to fires; and gas caps that
can leak after rollover accidents.
What should be done?
While the trade of counterfeit parts has
dramatically increased, tackling
counterfeits is not impossible.
Counterfeiting is a problem that needs
to be addressed quickly and decisively.
Ideally, as a first move, more effective
partnerships should be built between
law enforcement agencies and the
private sector
with focus
on intelligence sharing, awareness and
product identification training.
However, the involvement of all
segments of the automotive and heavy-duty
industries cannot be undermined.
Manufacturers:
Manufacturers should create a team
that focuses on anti-counterfeiting
strategy. This should include
registration of trademarks and
copyrights, and strategy for
enforcement of intellectual property
rights.
Also, anticounterfeiting technology
should be employed, to ensure that
genuine products are readily
identifiable.
Use of various markings
and anti-theft devices (holograms,
RFID tags, etc.) is essential, that
would distinguish a genuine product
from a fake one

case of auto parts, the consequence of

income but also may lead to loss of life
if the consumer bought the imitated

organization responsible for the
forgery and distribution of fake parts,
and even further, was able to earn even
higher customer reliance and

Enker, a Bosnian manufacturer of
sparking plugs, employed De La Rue
Holography Company to produce a
sophisticated hologram, which is now

Auto industry should work to educate
suppliers, distributors and employees
on how to detect counterfeit parts.
Distributors, retailers and technicians in
the aftermarket play a slightly different
role in the fight against counterfeiting.
While they may not be able to stop fake
products from being made, they should
prevent them from making it in to the
supply chain.
Customers should visually inspect
the product and learn to spot fakes If
the part looks different from the one
being replaced, it is a sure sign that it
is a counterfeit
In addition, the packaging should be
checked carefully for signals like odd
shaped pack, mismatched logos,
absence of anti-theft devices like
holograms. Anything out of the
ordinary should raise a red flag
Counterfeiting has surely exploded
in recent years to become a serious
threat. The automotive industry
needs to stand up and fight this
growing economic crime. This fake
auto-part trade is like cancer - a
problem that nobody can solve
quickly- It has to be an effort
sustained over many years.

11. The Holography Times Technology
HHolographic Conferencing
The Future of Tomorrow
olography is something
humans have imagined and
been fascinated with for
centuries. Today, Hologram and
Holography is a not a new word for
people. Holograms have been popping
up through science fictions, myths,
religions and even horror films. One of
these technologies that has reached new
heights, and is creating rising interest is
Hologram Conferencing.
Conceptually, a hologram or holograph
is a virtual image of a human that talks,
walks like a human but has no mass and
occupies no space. It can pass through
walls and it can appear at wish. This is
what Hologram Conferencing tries to
achieve- To make people appear as a
hologram (virtual person) in real time,
anywhere in the world.
The new technology behind the
hologram conferencing involves
capturing an image with a video camera
and loading it onto a PC encoding card.
The encoding card turns the image into
a digital format which, with the help of
some special software, is transmitted to
another computer over the internet. At
the receiving end, another computer
reverses the process and an image is
created.
Hologram Conferencing is recently
giving a chance to business executives
and leaders to make presentations in
distant countries through virtual
presence. Recent advances in cameras
and microphones enable business
leaders to see and hear the event from
around 500 miles away, as audiences
watch high-definition image on a
transparent screen.
With the current trend of businesses
looking to adopt a more flexible
approach to cut back on costs and
reduce carbon emission, many
observers see holographic technology
as the way forward. If one can view a
holographic image of the person one is
talking to, then there is no reason to fly
halfway across the world for a business
meeting. Also, alarmists see it as a good
thing for the environment.
The technology was earlier used by US
Vice-President Al Gore during his Live
Earth conference, Prince Charles and
MicrosoftGiant 'Bill Gates 'to avoid the
green house gas emission associated
with air travel.
We can envisage this technology being
used in many Industries - in data
visualization for planning, an awesome
asset in training/education and a must
see for the entertainment industry.
AI Gore’s Virtual Hologram
In the education space, a Maths teacher
was digitally teleported into the
exhibition centre at Olympia from
Graveney School in south London. At
the 2005 MTV Awards ceremony in
Portugal, the UK-based band Gorillaz
appeared in holographic form and
interacted with performers on-stage.
These technologies are all currently
available, but becoming more robust
and mass marketed. As quoted by an
Australian telecommunication
company Te l s t r a . “The new
technology will start entering
businesses in four to five years, and
eventually be in homes. As the
broadband speed start to go faster, a
step from there to a hologram is not
far away. ”

Tribute to Dr. Stephen Benton
The Artist
of
of
Rainbow Holography
Rainbow Holography
Steve was not only a superb scientist who led his field of decades, he was also a
wonderful practical craftsmen of the holographic image and a pied piper for
students, artists and designers who worked with advanced imaging. He was among
one of few legend and innovators in holography. Benton a gifted teacher, scientist,
engineer and artist who personified the best ofMIT.
Agreat enthusiast, he will always be remembered for his distinct accomplishments and
attributes. Benton invented rainbow holography a process that makes a hologram visible
using common white light, also know in credit card iteration as “Benton holograms”.
TheHolographyTimes third issue is a tribute toDr. StephenBenton the artist of rainbow holography.
Benton was born in San Francisco in 1941 and grew up in Santa Barbera, Calif. He received his
undergraduate degree in electrical engineering (1963) from MIT, and received his Masters (1964)
and doctorate degree (1968) from Harward University.
In his early days he worked for the Polaroid Corporation. In 1968, while working in Polaroid
Corporation he invented the rainbow hologram, a hologram visible to the naked eye that uses
common white light fused on film or glass. Benton's holograms were eventually embedded into
credit cards and driver's licenses to provide protection against counterfeiting.
Benton first became interested in optics at 11 when he wore a pair of 3-D glasses to view theVincent
Price movie, The House ofWax. In his own words he describes Holography as a true intersection
of art, science and technology. Holography workds like photography in that it records light wave
patterns on chemically sensitive film or glass.
The man who described holography as a true intersection of art, science and technology, held 14
patents in optical physics and photography. His work has been featured at the Museum of
Holography inNewYork, and used to create three-dimensionalCTandMRIimages.
Later in his career, Benton joinedMITin 1980 as a visiting scientist in the Laser Research Centre and
became founding head of the Spatial Imaging Group in 1982. From 1982 2003, for the past 20 years,
Benton taught media arts and sciences at MIT. He was also the director of the MIT Center for
AdvancedVisual Studies.
Benton a gifted teacher, a great scientist, engineer and artist, loved his work and remained active in
his field until the time of his death.

United States Patent Application 20070263268
November 15, 2007
A hologram recorder A1
Brief Abstract:
includes a light source (1) of a coherent light
beam and a spatial light modulator (5A) for
modulating a part of the light beam from the
light source (1) into a recording beam which
carries two-dimensional information. Another
part of the light beam is used as a reference
beam to interfere with the recording beam.
The recording beam and the reference beam are
directed to a hologram recording medium (B).
A semi-translucent optical device (4) is
disposed between the light source (1) and the
spatial light modulator (SA) for letting a part of
the beam travel to the spatial light modulator
(5A) as a transmitted beam while letting
another part of the beam travel to the hologram
recording medium (B) as a reflected beam.
