Patent number: 8098155Abstract: A method for locating a target wireless device is disclosed. At least one directional antenna is swept through a field of view at each of a plurality of sensing locations. A position is determined for each of the plurality of sensing locations. During the sweep at each of the plurality of sensing locations, a set of signal strength data for the target wireless device and a set of bearing information are collected. A plurality of lines of bearing are determined, one from each of the plurality of sensing locations to the target wireless device, based on the determined position, the collected set of signal strength data, and bearing information for each of the plurality of sensing locations. A target location of the target wireless device is determined based on an intersection of at least two lines of bearing from the plurality of lines of bearing.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2009Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Assured Information Security, Inc.Inventors: Richard Michael Gloo, Jacob Michael Baker, Alexander James Williams, Jason S. Lashure, Robert James Durham, Nicholas Lawrence Owens

Patent number: 7947067Abstract: This invention is a scanning laser device with a universal carriage that holds any type of optical element. The carriage rotates about an axis that is substantially co-axial to the incident laser beam, thereby causing the laser energy passing through the optical element to sweep through a 360° circle. The preferred embodiment uses a rod lens as the optical element, resulting in a large circular beam spot. The device may utilize laser sources of various wavelengths and pulse frequencies, and multiple devices may be combined to scan an even larger area.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Erchonia CorporationInventors: Kevin Tucek, Steven C. Shanks, Lawrence Owens

Publication number: 20070061161Abstract: A processing-related information storage unit stores processing-related information pertaining to processing of an original image. A processed image generation unit generates a processed image based on print data and processing-relating information, both pertaining to an original image. A processing-related information alteration receipt unit guides a user in altering the processing-related information with a processed image being displayed, and receives alterations to the processing-related information. When alterations to the processing-related information have been received, an update unit updates the processing-related information stored in the processing-related information storage unit based on the alterations, and updates the processed image to be displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2006Publication date: March 15, 2007Applicant: Star Micronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Lawrence Owen

Patent number: 7188646Abstract: A splitting wedge is provided for splitting wood. The wedge includes an upwardly facing impact surface, a collar adapted to slidably engage a vertical guide track and a downwardly facing cutting edge. The wedge is adapted to slide down the guide track and cut into an object to split, such as a wood log, when struck on the impact surface. The collar can include a bore to slidably engage a tubular guide track. The impact surface is off-set from the wedge towards to the collar.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2006Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Inventor: Lawrence Owen Fitzgerald

Publication number: 20060290966Abstract: A print data generation unit generates print data including data which represent a print object character string. A print image data generation unit generates raster image data pertaining to the image to be printed based on the print data. A processing detail determination unit determines processing details pertaining to the raster image data on the basis of the print object character string. A print image data processing unit accepts an input of processing detail information about the processing details and an input of the raster image data, and subjects the raster image data to the image processing based on the processing detail information. A print instruction unit causes a printer to produce a printout of the processed raster image data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: Star Micronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Lawrence Owen
