A system and method is provided for the real time auditing of covert data marks. Specific information relating to a product or document is entered into an information cell or shell from a product data file. A high definition, high resolution, high speed inline video system is provided to take specific details from the individual product or document, which details are added to the data cell or shell. Details are then inspected, quality checked, matched in the event there are multiple identifiers (e.g., currency would normally carry two matching sequential numbers), and verified to the product order. This cell or shell is passed to the special design computer / controller through a high speed electronic interface. Information entering the computer / controller is once again verified and matched to the original data as well as the product or document. The cell or shell is converted into a specially created 2-dimensional bar code which is encrypted by the computer / controller and then transformed into a video rip. This video rip is sent to high quality / high resolution production print engines. The encrypted 2-dimensional bar code is imaged directly to the product or document as it is carried past the print imaging engines. The ink also is specially designed and manufactured for this system and process. It is an invisible ink which is unique, durable, permanent and not available commercially (covered under trade secrets). These special inks are well suited for delivery using inkjet technology to efficiently make well formed invisible images at slow to high speed production schemes. The product or document is then sent instantly into a drying scheme (this can be air, forced air, heat, UV Dryer, depending on the printing system selected). After drying there is a final scanning. This scanning equipment is the same scanner design which will be used in the field so that each product or document will be verified with the actual scanning device and programs which will be used in the field. From this final scanning of the 2-dimensional data bar code, a final audited product or document profile is created, as is a database which will be the point of reference in the infrastructure during the life of the product or document. Each time any product or document is scanned at a transaction point, the database will be updated, either in real-time or downloaded from a data collection scanning device. This will build a complete history from the point of manufacture to the moment it is removed from service.

Electronic devices operate in an analog world and their circuitry is subject to non-linear environmental effects that can cause operational problems. Selecting components for a design for a capacitor-charging circuit that incorporates a current-limiting resistor and uses non-linear power supplies, either means having to test every possible combination of elements, and suffering a resultant ‘combinatorial explosion’ as complexity increases, or choosing to over-engineer against untested surprise failure points. Doing the latter in a cost-efficient manner through a min / max / log-set testing series also enables use of non-linear power supplies whose parameters are not known due to competitive or trade secret protective efforts by their manufacturers.
