  • Patent number: 11921300
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with optical markers. A marker may be formed from a coating. The coating may be patterned to form a two-dimensional optical code or may be patterned to form an outline or other recognizable marker structure that helps provide information about an electronic device. A device with a sensor such as a depth sensor or other sensor may gather information on the electronic device and its markers. This information may include information on images captured with an image sensor while the electronic device is illuminated by one or more light beams from the depth sensor or other light sources. Markers may be configured to serve as mixed reality optical markers in a mixed reality system. Analysis of the mixed reality marker images or other sensor data may reveal information on device type, device location, device size, device orientation, and other information on a marked device.

  • Publication number: 20160361943
    Abstract: The current invention is a non-lethal personal defense combination of tactical pen and spray dispenser that has the writing capabilities of a pen and ability to use one end as a window breaker. The tactical pen body is made of aircraft aluminum or similar durable material for strength and textured in the middle for extra grip when striking the assailant. On one end, the spray nozzle swivels open, similar to tops of spray-on sunscreen, to protect from accidental dispense and the ability to unlock with one hand. The embodiment's clip is configured to secure to any material that would give the user quick access, such as jacket, shirt or pant pockets, purse or a vehicle visor.

  • Patent number: 6566656
    Abstract: A probe style radiometer includes a generally rectangular cross-sectional body and a probe having a square cross-section. The probe is preferably a hollow rod having a tip equipped with a UV-collecting aperture and a mirror. The mirror reflects UV light entering the aperture down the length of the rod to a detector in the body. A processor in the body then computes the amount of UV radiation based on signals from the detector. The amount may then be provided on a display integrated into the body. A ground quartz or glass window may be provided at the tip to seal the rod from exterior contamination and to diffuse the incoming UV radiation in a manner that will give the probe a near-cosine angular response. Filters within the radiometer body then filter this diffused radiation to the spectral region of interest. Preferably, the radiometer is battery powered and includes switches on the body to allow a user to control the mode of operation.

  • Patent number: 6023066
    Abstract: An ultraviolet (UV) radiometer includes as one component a data collection unit which is sufficiently small that it can be placed in UV curing applications which have normally been inaccessible as another component a data reader into which the data collection unit is inserted for displaying and/or processing the actual data collected by the data collection unit during a process run. Because of its small size, the data collection unit makes it possible to obtain true process control in applications that could not previously be monitored. After making a dosage measurement, the data collection unit is inserted into the data reader to display the actual data collected during a UV curing run. After reading the data in the data collection unit, the data reader clears the previously stored data and resets the unit to take a new dosage reading.
