Founder of the company «J-Pass» Sergey Pynzar,

«J-PASS» TECHNOLOGY – A STEP TO «TOUCHLESS» FUTURE

THE COMPANY «J-PASS» IS A SYSTEM INTEGRATOR OF TOUCHLESS AND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED IN DIFFERENT AREAS AND SECTORS OF INDUSTRY. IN 2015 «J-PASS» SET TO WORK ON THE PROJECT OF MINIATURE AND TOUCHLESS NANO-MARKING, LONGPLANNED BY ITS FOUNDER. IN THREE YEARS EXAMPLE ITEMS WERE DESIGNED AND SUCCESSFULLY TESTED, A UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY OF CANNING THIS MARKING INTO THE OBJECTS WAS DEVELOPED TOGETHER WITH SPECIAL SOFTWARE.

The touchless marking of 1 mm size is designed for canning into different items and objects. The special features of this technology are the following: it is impossible to remove the marking without its fatal damage and it is impossible to copy the data from the marking due to special data encryption algorithm.

Among other characteristics of this unique technological solution are:

The chip works on the radiofrequency NFC/RFID and Power Line Communications (PLC); In-house software applicable with any data bases and management systems; Working capacity and fail safety of the marking in extreme temperatures; No need of power source for the marking.

At first the technology was applied in jewelry in order to identify the jewelry items, to control them, record, protect and verify. The process was of relevance due to these reasons:

The state didn’t have the capacities to totally control and combat the “shadow” sector of jewelry; There was no on-line monitoring to carry out a 100% verification of a jewelry item and to track all operations with it; There were a lot of risks in jewelry like counterfeit, copying, substitution and other small frauds of unfair workers at jewelry production, boutiques and pawnshops; The re-assessment procedure for jewelry items in jewelry shops and boutiques was time-consuming and expensive.

The application of «J-Pass» technology allows to avoid these problems and

gives obvious advantages both for the state and the consumers of jewelry. It means it helps to solve the problem of “shadow” turnover in jewelry in the Russian Federation forever, to create an instrument of control for all players of the jewelry market, to protect the producers of jewelry items from fraud, to reduce the re-assessment time in boutiques, to introduce computer online warehouse inventory control including the control of large wholesales, as well as to create a system which would inform about fraud with jewelry items and their undeclared export.

It is worth mentioning that «J-Pass» is the first and the only company for now which has managed to implement the draft sample of canning the touchless marking into a jewelry item.

However the company didn’t stop there and the team continued developing the marking and working on the extension of the application of this new technology. These efforts have made the marking extensible with almost endless capacities.

Today the range of application of «JPass» technology is really wide. The marking can be used for identification and verification of different items, details and other elements, for the control of operations with them, for the account and management including the management of separate systems and complexes. The main application areas for the marking are:

The marking and verification of different items and their separate elements (jewelry items, valuable details, pieces of art, drugs, goods subjects to obligatory marking in the Russian Federation according to law, etc.); Electronic passport for different items recorded on the marking canned into the item; Systems “smart home” and “smart city”; The warranty of genuineness of securities and other valuable documents; E-passport of the citizen of the Russian Federation and other individual documents; Banking and payment systems; Fares payment on the public transport; Automated online warehouse and logistic control, freight control; Blocking and unblocking of different equipment and Automated Access Control System; Functional check-up and fault equipment detection.

As you can see this technology can be applied in different sector of the Russian industry open for digitalization and innovative technologies.

«J-Pass» technology can also be useful in energy sector. The company has developed a wide range of technical solutions for the sector. Here are some details. 1. Data transfer technology: radiofrequency and power lines As it was mentioned earlier «J-Pass» technology uses the radiofrequency (NFC/RFID) to download and upload data. Moreover it can carry out a twoway data exchange through power lines due to the technology Power Line Communications (PLC). To transfer data with PLC we use standard power lines where there are or can be installed an electric power network.

2. «Smart energy» The wide application opportunities of «J-Pass» technology allows to offer a universal conjugate algorithm of its own technology and PLC technology with different control systems (including the working systems of other designers after necessary agreements). For example it can be: Automatic system for accounting of/technical accounting of energy resources; Automatic process control system; Manufacturing Execution System (MES); Automated dispatch management system; Geographic information system (GIS) also for natural resources mining and control; Different monitoring and reporting systems.

SAFE TECHNOLOGY One of the main factors is absolute security of personal data and payment information

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE MARKING WITHOUT DAMAGING IT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COPY THE MARKING DATA

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COPY THE MARKING

Every chip has its own unique code so two similar chips do not exist in nature

3. «Smart city». The application of «J-Pass» technology in «smart city» allows to transfer data from different counters, trackers and other devices online using the existing electric power networks. The received data can be integrated into any data bases and systems including online monitoring and management.

4. Marking of valuable details and their protection The technology allows to protect valuable details of different specialized equipment, to guarantee their genuineness and to minimize fraud. The touchless marking canned into the construction allows to monitor online the details in the equipment and to set the system of reporting in case of their absence.

5. Logistics and freight control The joint application of «J-Pass» technology and PLC allows to monitor online the cargo transfer by automobile, railway, sea and air transport. Besides you don’t need to open the packing of the product and even move it. And the in the short run information of all items with the marking is read at once and constantly transferred to the monitoring system. You can also apply the reporting system here for instance if the cargo vanishes or is exempted unplanned. It minimizes the risks of loss and substitution and allows to control the cargo through all its way.

Touchless marking in form of chips is not the only development of «J-Pass». Another focus area is a universal nanosubstance for marking – the so-called “liquid marking”. One of its usage areas is the marking of precious stones.

However before we describe the principle of the liquid marking we should turn to such areas as Chemistry and Physics and revise some notions which would help to clear out the core of technology.

Free radicals are particles with one or several unpaired electrons on the external electron shell. Here the main thing is that they have paramagnetic properties and are reactive. Paramagnetics are particles which become magnetized in the external magnet field and have positive magnetic susceptability. The particles of paramagnetic have their own magnetic moments which being subject to external field orientate on the field and thus create resultant field greater than the external one. Without the external magnet field the paramagnetic is not magnetized.

Spin label is an organic molecule with unpaired electron and the ability to link to other molecules. The unpaired electron provides for the control of electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum (EPR). Thus the spin label serves as a probe for EPR. EPR spectrums for the spin labels contain information about the local dynamic (for example the biological membrane, proteins), polarity and pH environment and also serve to measure distances on large molecules. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum (EPR). The concept is in resonant absorption of electromagnetic radiation by the unpaired electrons. Electron has a spin and an associated magnet moment. If you link paramagnetic center with the electromagnetic field with a certain frequency polarized parallel to the perpendicular vector of a magnetic field it will lead to magnet dipole transitions. If the energy of electric transition and the photon of electromagnetic wave coincide there will be a resonant absorption of MMW radiation.

There is another interesting notion –EPR reader. This is an EPR detector based on the work of a spectrometer. There are two types of spectrometers: the first one is based on the constant, the second one – on the impulse action on the pattern. The spectrometer with constant radiation usually registers not the resonant absorption line but the derivative of this line. Firstly it relates to a better distinctness of some lines in difficult spectrums, and secondly with technical facility of registration of the first derivative. The resonant magnetic signature is relevant to the crossing of the first derivative with zero line, the linewidth is measured between the points of maximum and minimum. It is known that the resonant absorption of MMW energy is possible either if the wave length or i the magnet field strength changes. The EPR spectrums are usually registered with a permanent frequency of MMW radiation with the magnet field changes. It is stipulated by special features of MMW equipment with a narrow pass band. In order to enhance the sensitivity of the method people use the high frequency of the magnet field multiplexing at the same time fixing the derivative of absorption spectrum. The interval of EPR registration is defined by the frequency and length of MMW wave with a certain magnetic field intensity.

Now let’s imagine that we need to install a marking into a diamond.

In order to process the surface of a diamond we apply (or on the necessary part) a layer of transition metal (Fe, Ni, Co, Mn or other) on it. After that the pattern is put into a gas-flow chamber (hydrogen) and then the part of the diamond with a metal layer is laser heated for a short time and locally. As a result they form a spot of necessary size (1-2 mm or less) and the marking is inserted there.

For the marking we are going to use paramagnetic spin labels on the basis of trityl or nitroxyl radicals or paramagnetic metal complexes. The measured spectrum of EPR marking with individual magnet-resonant parameters plays the key role here. This spectrum is detected by EPR reader or EPR spectrometer.

There are two possible technical solutions for detecting system: 1. The use of a generally available small size EPR spectrometer. It ensures high sensitivity and spectral resolution (informational content of the spectrum) but limits the size of the pattern (maximum diameter 8 mm). 2. The development of an in-house small size EPR spectrometer at low frequencies with surface coil. In this Electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum (EPR)

case the permanent magnet field is created by the coil inside the mobile sensor as well as the resonant contour creating radio-frequency field. There are also requirements for the marking for example a narrow EPR band for better sensitivity, the possibility to ensure the high stability of marking with regards to temperature, photo-radiation and humidity as well as insolubility of the marking in a substance to be used as mastic. The amount of the marking is defined by the sensitivity of the detector and its resonant frequency.

To put it simple the principle of the liquid marking is as follows.

The molecule in the marking contains radicals, is charged by the magnet field and then if it is necessary to be detected, is removed by a spectrometer at a required frequency. If such charged molecule (or its imprints) is detected it evidences that there is the liquid marking and that the object under study is authentic.

It is worth mentioning that it is impossible to fake or illegally detect the liquid marking because:

The magnet field for charging is defined in the company; The radical is installed into the molecule so Nano-technologies are necessary; Only the company specialists know the frequency to detect this or that radical.

There is no doubt that the technology of liquid marking has serious opportunities to be embraced and evolved in different technological areas.

range of «J-Pass» technology is really wide, and the company is ready to cooperate with a large number of partners from different sectors of business and industry of the Russian Federation. The company is ready to integrate its inventions into different technological projects like control systems, accounting and management systems, remote interaction projects (touchless, wireless and even unmanned) and in many other innovative systems.

It is also worth mentioning that «JPass» technology is crucial for work in the regions of Extreme North and the Arctic Circle where difficult climate and extreme temperatures can create serious obstacles for systems work and access for specialists and machines to the objects and resources. The use of touchless technologies in these conditions means safety, reliability and resource saving.

Another important thing is that the state is interested in the technology as well: the tasks of economy digitalization, goods marking set by the President of Russia and the Government of the country are priority and the company «J-Pass» with its inventions can contribute a lot to their solution. For example recently the project has been completed on marking jewelry items initiated by the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Finance.

In conclusion we need to say that currently it is becoming obvious that the world is rapidly developing, the progress can’t be stopped and the pace of technology application is constantly growing. But we can’t deny that our future lies with touchless technologies. And «JPass» has already made a step toward.
