Method to Authenticate Value Documents or Items: Patent No.: US 10,176,661 B2 Date of Patent Jan. 8, 2019

This is the foundation bedrock patent in the field of Photon-DSP technology, which is a combination of fluorescent photonics, and digital signal processing. It has 25 major applications including: Paper Bullion Bank Bill, Money Orders, DNA tags, Container Lock Tags, Evidence Tags, Auction Tags, various applications related to International Trade and Diplomacy, various applications related to Wills, Trusts and Bank Trustee and Custody Accounts, ID tags for military or intelligence agencies, or corporations, anytime a document must be securely identified, and anytime an item must be securely identified.This patent describes a method and apparatus to create a coded document or item, and then to positively authenticate that document at a later time, in another place, under different conditions. It uses +3 ions of Lanthanides doped onto nanoparticles and a laser-borne file number to make a code, which can then be read by an authenticating machine as described in detail in the patent. In a world that is more insecure every year due to clever counterfeiting and fake product and fraudulent documents, this coding invention will be used to bring certainty and verifiable authenticity into banking, industrial, intelligence, diplomatic, and business transactions of all sorts. Paper Bullion Bank Bill is the principle alternative to all blockchain-based global currencies. My system is not internet, or blockchain based. It puts the value material in the actual bank bills, and then lets you authenticate those bills very quickly and reliably. If Facebook develops a new blockchain-based currency, Paper Bullion Bank Bill will be the competitor its currency will have to beat in the marketplace, and in use by customers.The first bank to issue Paper Bullion Bank Bill will obtain a huge first mover advantage. Making the bills is complex. There are two firms that can do it. Rolling out the new currency is fairly simple, but it will probably begin in the international business, and wealth management departments as a boutique convenience product for a fairly narrow, but quite wealthy, group of customers with their own distinctive needs and goals. This patent is part of a suite of four patents, three of which involve getting value materials from the seabed, all by the same inventor, and all are in various stages except this patent which was granted and issued on 8 January 2019. Two other patents in the suite of four have been filed as Provisional Patent Applications, and the last one will be so filed by the end of 2019.The entire suite of patents is designed to promote and enhance human integrity, by using value material as the basis of money, and by having documents and items that can be reliably and quickly authenticated, and that you can hold in your hand not in your "wallet" on the internet, in cyberspace. Wealth in the hand is worth a lot more than wealth in the cyber domain, even if the blockchain works perfectly.The Founders of USA said that gold and silver should be the basis of American money. We have changed their idea so that now slips of green paper, or data entries on a spreadsheet are the basis of money. And we have wracked up $24 Trillion in national debt, which would have been totally impossible if gold had remained the basis for our money. Slips of green paper, and electronic funds are infinite. Nature has placed limits on the stocks of rare value metals available to political persons.The Human Integrity Project will enable some degree of return to the idea of the Founders. Also, it will allow small investors to have a direct physical stake in 25 metals that are important to industry worldwide. No need to open an account at a commodities broker, or the London metals market when you can just obtain a small portion of value metal, that can be quickly authenticated, and that you can hold in your hand, or give to somebody, or transfer in a business transaction.Please visit robertfentongary.com
