Abstract

An improved system and method for authentication of engineering notebook support information is provided. An authentication label having a first part and a second part can employ any of various approaches used to determine that the two parts go together. The first part of the authentication label is used to identify an engineering notebook page and is affixed to a container such as a tamperproof envelope in which engineering notebook support information is stored. The second part of the authentication label is used to identify the container in which the engineering notebook support is stored and is affixed on a page of an engineering notebook.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for authenticating engineering notebook support information, comprising the steps of:
 placing said engineering notebook support information inside a container;   sealing said container;   affixing a first part of an authentication label to said container, said first part of said authentication label having information that identifies a page in an engineering notebook; and   affixing a second part of said authentication label to said page in said engineering notebook, said second part of said authentication label having information that identifies said container, said first part of said authentication label and said second part of said authentication label providing authentication of said engineering notebook support information.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said container is one of an envelope, a vault, a safety deposit box, a crate, a cargo container, or a cardboard box. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 using tamperproof technology is used to seal said container.   
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said authentication label is a tamperproof label. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said authentication label is used to seal said container. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one authentication technique is used such that the first part of said authentication label and said second part of said authentication label can be proven to have been originally one authentication label. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one authentication technique comprises at least one of a signature, a line, a stamp, a seal, a time stamp, a barcode, a watermark, a holograph, a fingerprint, a spectrographically unique ink, a spectrographically unique paper, a radiologically tagged ink, a radiologically tagged paper, a prime number, a spacing between perforated portions of a tear line. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
 placing proof inside the container of the date the container was sealed.   
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein said proof comprises one of a newspaper, an image of a newspaper, or an image of a website page. 
   
   
       10 . A system for authenticating engineering notebook support information, comprising:
 a container, said engineering notebook support information being placed inside said container prior to said container being sealed; and   an authentication label, said authentication label having a first part being affixed to said container, said first part having information that identifies a page in an engineering notebook, said authentication label having a second part being affixed to said page in said engineering notebook, said second part of said authentication label having information that identifies said container.   
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 proof of the date the container was sealed, said proof being placed inside said container prior to it being sealed.   
   
   
       12 . The system of  1   1 , wherein said proof comprises one of a newspaper, an image of a newspaper, or a website page. 
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein said container comprises one of an envelope, a vault, a safety deposit box, a crate, a cargo container, or a cardboard box. 
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 tamperproof technology, said tamperproof technology being used to seal said container.   
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a tracking device, said tracking device being placed inside said container prior to it being sealed.   
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein at least one authentication technique is used to prove that said first part of said authentication label and said second part of said authentication were originally one authentication label. 
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein said at least one authentication technique comprises at least one of a signature, a line, a stamp, a seal, a time stamp, a barcode, a watermark, a holograph, a fingerprint, a spectrographically unique ink, a spectrographically unique paper, a radiologically tagged ink, a radiologically tagged paper, a prime number, a spacing between perforated portions of a tear line. 
   
   
       18 . A system for authenticating an object, comprising:
 a container, said object being placed inside said container prior to said container being sealed;   proof of the date the container was sealed, said proof also being placed inside said container prior to said container being sealed; and   an authentication label, said authentication label having a first part being affixed to said container, said first part having information that identifies a log entry in a notebook, said authentication label having a second part being affixed to said page in said notebook, said second part of said authentication label having information that identifies said container.   
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein said object comprises one of a legal document, a will, a prenuptial agreement, a real estate-deed, a mortgage, a row easement, a beneficiary assignment, a business contract, a stock, a bond, a copyrightable asset, an artwork, a chip mask, a stamp, a coin, a trading card, a body part, blood, or semen. 
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein said object comprises engineering notebook support information.
