Publication number: 20240169763Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, apparatus, and systems for iris recognition. A method includes acquiring at least two angularly differentiated iris images from a subject needing access, processing each of the at least two angularly differentiated iris images to generate at least one boundary delineated image from one of the at least two angularly differentiated iris images, applying image comparative analysis to the at least two angularly differentiated iris images to generate a boundary delineated image when the processing fails to produce the at least one boundary delineated image, segmenting and encoding one of the at least one boundary delineated image or the boundary delineated image to generate at least one iris template, matching the at least one iris template against an enrolled iris, and accepting the subject for access processing when the at least one iris template matches the enrolled iris.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: Princeton IdentityInventors: John Timothy Green, David Alan Ackerman, Jean-Michel Florent

Patent number: 11951110Abstract: Described are methods of preparing reduced 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine (DAPTZ) compounds of formula: wherein: R1 and R9 are independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R3NA and R3NB is independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R7NA and R7NB is independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of HX1 and HX2 is independently a protic acid; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof. These methods are particularly useful for producing stable reduced forms, and with high purity. The stability and purity are especially relevant for pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of disease. The compounds are useful for treatment of e.g. tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease, and also as prodrugs for the corresponding oxidized thioninium drugs.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: WisTa Laboratories Ltd.Inventors: Claude Michel Wischik, Janet Elizabeth Rickard, Charles Robert Harrington, David Horsley, John Mervyn David Storey, Colin Marshall, James Peter Sinclair, Thomas Craven Baddeley

Publication number: 20240022152Abstract: Provided herein are resonance-enabled machines, comprising one or more voice coil actuators mounted on a non-moving mass, such as a housing, one or more moving masses, and one or more pluralities of springs coupling the non-moving mass to the one or more moving masses. One or more of the moving masses can perform a specific task. For example, the moving mass may drive a pump as a vacuum pump or a compressor. The moving mass may drive a hammer chisel, for example, to break or fracture structures. The moving mass may drive a device to consolidate, for example, soil. The moving mass may impact a member to drive the member into another member, such as a pile into the soil. Each moving mass may be coupled to a voice coil actuator, and the machine is an electrical-mechanical-electrical transformer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2021Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Lucon Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Peter Andrew Lucon, Doran John Michels, Beauford Eugene Munson, Michael James Paffhausen, Robert James Hall

Patent number: 9768857Abstract: A field unit and ground station may use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and share a common architecture, where differences in functionality are governed by software. The field units and ground stations may be easy to deploy, relatively inexpensive, and be relatively easy to operate. A novel file system may be used where datagrams of a file may be stored across multiple drives and/or devices. The datagrams may be received out of order and reassembled at the receiving device.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2016Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Los Alamos National Security, LLCInventors: Stephen Judd, Nicholas Dallmann, Jerry Delapp, Michael Proicou, Daniel Seitz, John Michel, Donald Enemark

Publication number: 20090161995Abstract: A method for forming a plate-mat bag using a form, fill, and seal machine and the resultant bag. The film used to form the bag is oriented so that the product side layer is not a critical barrier layer. The top most portion of the bag is unsealed forming a tab. Below the top most portion, a peelable upper seal is utilized so that a consumer can destroy the upper seal using the tab and tear open the bag along slits made in the product side layer. This results in an easy open package which when opened can serve as a plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: June 25, 2009Inventors: Eric Henderson, John Michels, Joe Sagel
