  • Patent number: 9808172
    Abstract: A soft-tissue-injury diagnostic system for diagnosing soft tissue injury within a patient includes a set of hand-held inclinometers configured and arranged for measuring angles formed between a first inclinometer disposed in proximity to a patient joint and a second inclinometer disposed distal to the joint during controlled patient movements of the joint. A plurality of measuring electrodes are coupleable in proximity to the patient's spine along the body portion that moves along the joint. The measuring electrodes are configured and arranged for measuring action potentials along patient muscle groups during the controlled patient movements of the joint and transmitting the measured action potentials to a dynamic surface electromyograph (“sEMG”) module. A hub receives and processes data from the inclinometers and the dynamic sEMG module. A visual display is configured and arranged for receiving and displaying the processed data.

  • Patent number: 9530066
    Abstract: The current document is directed to an ear-scan-based biometrics subsystem that is incorporated into any of a wide variety of processor-controlled devices, including mobile phones. The biometrics subsystem collects touch-point locations, device-orientation-representative angles, and, in certain implementations, additional data during each ear scan and uses the collected information to derive additional data that is stored with the collected data to generate a stored data representation of the ear scan. A first ear scan can be compared to a second ear scan to generate a matching score from weighted scores obtained from the touch-point locations and derived data, device-orientation-representative angles, and additional data within the stored data representations of the first and second ear scans. Ear-scan matching provides a basis for authentication of users and for compiling ear-scan profiles for users.

  • Publication number: 20120316453
    Abstract: A biometric feedback system for providing biometric feedback to a subject while the subject performs a controlled physical movement includes an applied-force-recording interface and at least one controller electrically coupled to the applied-force-recording interface. The at least one controller receives applied force from the subject during the controlled physical movement and the applied-force-recording interface records data related to the applied force. The biometric feedback system also includes a dynamic surface electromyograph (“sEMG”) device that detects muscle tension along at least one muscle group of the subject while the subject performs the controlled physical movement and records data related to the muscle tension. A hub receives and processes data from the applied-force-recording interface and the dynamic sEMG device. A visual display displays the processed data from the hub.

  • Publication number: 20060170530
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system that allows an individual to authenticate his identity by storing his or her biometric profile and other information in a smart device. The smart device is always under the control of the owner during and after enrollment. The smart device holder's identity is authenticated by matching the stored fingerprint template against the live fingerprint of the smart device holder scanned on the smart device. When an enrolled smart device is within the proximity of a system radio frequency identification reader, the associated application via the radio frequency identification reader interacts with the smart device to authenticate the identity of the person holding the device. The smart device can also be attached to a personal computer, without a radio frequency identification reader via a wired interface. The application performs the applicable transaction only when the identity of the smart device holder is successfully authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20060163344
    Abstract: A method and system that enables a customer to delegate or authorize another individual to perform a financial transaction is provided. This system uses a smart card and a biometric scanner or reader writer, or a biometric device without a smart card. The smart card holds personal and financial accounts information about the customer including a set of biometric templates of the customer. The second smart card owner is identified as the true owner of a smart card after the second smart card passes a biometric authentication using a read write device. The first smart card owner specifies the desired transaction that is to be performed by the second smart card. The delegated or authorized transaction created by the first smart card is encrypted and stored in the second smart card and/or to a remote back-end host server.
