  • Publication number: 20230077823
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for automatically identifying a casualty and matching an electronic health record (EHR) to the casualty. A casualty identification is determined by matching a presenting image of the casualty with one of a master image or a social media profile image of the casualty. A recognized patient messaging system (RPMS) is configured to query one or more electronic health records (EHR) service providers for the existence of an EHR corresponding the identified casualty and automatically communicate the existence of the EHR to the EMS provider. A blockchain trusted identification module (BTIM) is configured to establish a trust relationship between the EMS provider and the one or more EHR service providers to establish a trusted pathway for delivery of the casualty's EHR to the EMS provider. With the casualty's EHR emergency responders can provide better care for the casualty in an emergency.

  • Patent number: 10862153
    Abstract: This invention describes a high-power, high-energy oxidant (catholyte) chemistry based on dichromate (CrVI as Cr2O72?) for use with a variety of fuels (anolytes) in redox flow batteries (RFBs, also known as reversible fuel cells), which reversibly store electricity as chemical energy. The reduction (discharge) of Cr2O72? to Cr3+ is natively irreversible at all investigated solid-state electrocatalysts, which has historically limited the employment of Cr2O72? to primary (non-rechargeable) cells, such as Grenet cells. The described invention overcomes this limitation by using a reversible redox couple, hereafter electron mediator, to heterogeneously donate electrons to the cathode electrocatalyst and homogeneously accept electrons from Cr3+ to regenerate Cr2O72?. RFBs employing this energy- and power-dense chemistry are suitable for low-cost energy storage applications, ranging from grid-level storage of renewable electricity to consumer electronics.

  • Patent number: 10140504
    Abstract: A system and method for a participant to securely store select preexisting medical and other information which is then available in real time to emergency workers using a (mobile) software application that uses facial recognition to match a presenting image of a casualty with a master image of the participant to provide their identity. Once identified, pre-existing medical and demographic information may be transmitted to emergency responders to better care for the casualty in an emergency situation.

  • Patent number: 7225994
    Abstract: A distinctive recorded sound is generated when a credit card or other financial transaction card is used at a point of sale (POS) terminal. As is common, the POS terminal includes a card reader through which the card is swiped to read data that is encoded on a magnetic stripe affixed to the card. A recorded sound may be stored in the card or in the card reader. In either case, the sound is played back through the card reader when the card is swiped.

  • Publication number: 20040026495
    Abstract: A financial transaction card includes an annunciator to generate a human perceptible indication upon activation. The annunciator may be audio, such as a pre-recorded sound, or may be visual, such as a light. The annunciator may be user-activated and/or may be activated upon use of the financial transaction card in a reading device. The annunciator, being relatively more difficult to implement than a conventional transaction card, serves to authenticate the card. Furthermore, the consumer appeal of a financial transaction card with such annunciator capability may be promoted by an issuer to attract new customers.

  • Patent number: 6176430
    Abstract: A wallet card adapted for use in reading externally stored information includes a transparent, substantially non-foldable semi-rigid base. The semi-rigid base includes a magnifying lens. The lens is formed by heating a lens forming die to a temperature sufficient to soften the base material and then cooling the die prior to withdrawing the die from the base material.

  • Patent number: 5856661
    Abstract: A financial transaction card for reading externally stored information includes a transparent, substantially non-foldable rigid base and a strip for carrying machine readable information. The rigid base comprises a magnifying lens. The lens is formed by machining a shallow cavity in the rigid base; partially filling the cavity with a radiation curable liquid resin; impressing a lens pattern on the surface of the resin with a die; and exposing the resin to radiation of sufficient intensity to cure the resin.
