Publication number: 20240147243Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Haya Iris VILLANUEVA GAVIOLA, Gianpaolo FASOLI, Vinay GANESH, Irene M. GRAFF, Martijn Theo HARING, Ahmer A. KHAN, Franck Farian RAKOTOMALALA, Gordon Y. SCOTT, Ho Cheung CHUNG, Antonio ALLEN, Mayura Dhananjaya DESHPANDE, Thomas John MILLER, Christopher SHARP, David W. SILVER, Policarpo B. WOOD, Ka YANG

Patent number: 9915563Abstract: A method of optical spectroscopy and a device for use in optical spectroscopy. The device includes a substrate, and a plurality of etalon cavities affixed to or coupled to the substrate. A signal is received from a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The signal is sampled using the device according to a generalized Nyquist-Shannon sampling criterion. The signal is sampled using the device according to a phase differential criterion for wave number resolution. An input spectrum for the signal is reconstructed based on the signal sampled according to the generalized Nyquist-Shannon sampling criterion and the signal sampled according to the phase differential criterion for wave number resolution.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Michael K. Yetzbacher, Christopher W. Miller, Michael J. Deprenger, Andrew J. Boudreau

Patent number: 9230303Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided for computing a two-way optical flow between a reference frame and one or more associated frames in an optical flow module. A forward warping operator and a backward warping operator can be generated between the reference frame and each of the one or more associated frames in a warping module. The forward warping operator and the backward warping operator provide motion compensation between the frames. Weights for each of the forward warping operators and the backward warping operators can be computed in a weight module. The weights correspond to uncertainty of motion estimation. A super resolution iteration algorithm can be calculated in a super-resolution iteration module.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Andrey V. Kanaev, Christopher W. Miller
