  • Patent number: 11632523
    Abstract: A high security two-way virtual cross-barrier observation and communication device has a mounting frame with a hardened core, a pair of digital displays, and a pair of cameras. The mounting frame may correspond to a typical interior door of a building or a relevant component of a vehicle, aircraft, or other relevant application. The hardened core is bullet-resistant and fire-resistant to protect occupants of a protected space from harm. The digital displays and cameras are positioned on opposing sides of the mounting frame, each camera transmitting a live video feed to the opposing display, creating the appearance of a window while protecting occupants. The digital displays may be used to display any desired information. An emergency protocol may be activated to communicate with emergency services. A plurality of laminate layers bond and encapsulate the displays and cameras to the hardened core, forming a rugged, self-contained unit with no moving parts.

  • Patent number: 11223801
    Abstract: A high security two-way virtual cross-barrier observation and communication device has a mounting frame with a hardened core, a first digital display, a second digital display, a first camera, and a second camera. The mounting frame may correspond to a typical interior door of a building or to a relevant component of a vehicle, aircraft, or other relevant application. The hardened core is constructed of a bullet-resistant and fire-resistant material to protect any occupants of a protected space such as students in a classroom from physical harm. The digital displays and cameras are positioned on opposing sides of the mounting frame, and each camera transmits a live video feed to the digital display on the opposite site, creating the appearance of a window while protecting occupants. The digital displays may be used to display any desired message or information. An emergency protocol may be activated to communicate with emergency services.

  • Publication number: 20140105450
    Abstract: A method and device using a camera element to recognize and decode “invisible” watermarks. Of particular significance to the present invention is the development of a “designator” that is used to identify the existence of, and if desired, the approximate location of, the watermark or other coded content contained in an actual image such as media content (a displayed website, an printed or electronic advertisement, a label, billboard, brochure or any other means of displaying content) and assist in quick acquisition of the invisible watermark or other coded content by the reading device. A perceived image of the actual image can be optimized using the known characteristics of the designator.
