Identification method and structure
First Claim
1. An identification means adapted for use in valuables to be embedded in a cavity in a hard portion of the valuable, comprising a miniaturized carrier made up of a substrate of relatively hard material having a high melting point at least as high as the hard material of the valuable into which it is to be embedded;
- an inscribable layer of an material on said substrate and including identifying intelligence inscribed thereon, said identification means including locating means.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for assisting in the identification of valuable articles which comprises selecting a carrier, transcribing information as to the identity of the valuable on the carrier, and fixing the carrier to a portion of the valuable. The structure includes a miniaturized carrier of relatively innert material and having identifying intelligence thereon, wherein the carrier is adapted to be fixed or otherwise embedded in the valuable article.

6. A method for providing positive identification of a valuable comprising:
-
(a) providing a hard portion of the valuable with a cavity; (b) placing identifying intelligence on a radiographically detectable carrier, the carrier being radiographically opaque and having a high resistance to heat where the carrier is formed by; (1) forming a substrate; (2) depositing at least one layer of metallic material on the substrate; (3) inscribing the identifying intelligence on the metallic material; (c) providing a radiographically opaque locating means near the carrier to enable radiographic detention of the carrier; (d) embedding the carrier in the cavity whereby the carrier is completely within the hard portion of the valuable. - View Dependent Claims (7)
