Patent number: 9201560Abstract: A computer program acts as a data collection, compilation, storage, and display in an autonomous and dynamic fashion. The software may be used by numerous separate and unrelated facilities working as a network on related projects with diverse hardware. A portable storage device is used to store the necessary software. This storage device will be shared between computer systems on site to collect, compile and store information from each facility. Once all sections are complete, it will be handed to a final arbitrator for review. The ultimate goal of a preferred embodiment is a portable system capable of dynamic modification capable of use in many different fields of operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: AFIX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joan L. Vitt, Tony L. McCowan, Derald E. Caudle

Patent number: 9196307Abstract: A system and method for recording, uploading, and archiving video recordings, including a front-end and a back-end application. The preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a front-end application wherein video is recorded using a mobile device. The recorded video is embedded with date, time and GPS location data. The video is stored on an online back-end database which catalogs the video according to the embedded data elements. The video may be selectively reviewed by relevant experts or emergency personnel for immediate response to the uploaded video and/or distribution to the proper parties. The video may also be archived for later review and use by any number of end-users.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: AFIX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Derald E. Caudle, Joan L. Vitt

Patent number: 8699764Abstract: An automated biometric submission and scanning system includes a scanner adapted for creating digital image files corresponding to biometrics, such as fingerprints. A computer, which can be standalone or linked to a network, receives the scanner output. The computer is programmed with an image enhancement program, which transforms the biometric image to an appropriate format for searching in one or more biometrics databases. An automated biometric submission and scanning method includes the steps of scanning a biometric image, enhancing the scanned image file, running a biometrics tracking program, selecting a biometrics database, complying with the database submission standards and submitting a biometrics database search.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: AFIX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joan L. Vitt, Derald E. Caudle

Patent number: 8655032Abstract: A mobile application stored within the mobile device allows for file collection, transfer, and display on a smart device with G3, G4, EDGE, or similar data communication capabilities. The software is used in conjunction with information collection devices synced to a smart device via blue tooth technology, such as a fingerprinting device. The device will transfer a file to the smart device running the mobile application. The application will then encrypt the file and encode the file that is then packaged into a proprietary format. The file is then sent to a web location using the data transmission capability of the mobile device. The device will then monitor a file location of a web address for a return response. It will then get the file from the web location in a standard NIST approved format, extract information and images from the file, displaying them in a GUI.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: AFIX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joan L.

Patent number: 8571276Abstract: A program for uploading images or direct scans of fingerprints into a computer system where they are then input into proper forms used in searching common databases. The system develops and saves files into types that are typically used in the biometric search industry, and these files are submitted to national fingerprint databases. This entire process is streamlined and reduces the amount of work and input required by the end user to a minimum. The program will reduce the user's amount of work necessary to submit a fingerprint search to national databases by simplifying the formatting of the submittal page for such national databases, resulting in a more efficient manner of preparing fingerprint search documents in appropriate formats. The program is fully customizable and can be used to satisfy the requirements of any national fingerprint database.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2012Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: AFIX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joan L.
