Patent number: 9536348Abstract: A system and method are provided for displaying video surveillance fields of view limitations. The system and method perform video surveillance of a given area and then geo-locate any obstacles within the area, including measuring their overall size and shape. The system and method map the size, location and shape of the objects into a database and then identify where there are video surveillance coverage gaps from each vantage point where video surveillance is being performed on the area. The system and method then determine where there are overlapping locations of blocked video surveillance (i.e., locations that are “invisible” to video surveillance). The system and method create a simulated image of the area from an orientation above the area which indentifies locations within the area that may not be seen by video surveillance from any of the vantage points where video surveillance is being performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2009Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Alan Cornett, Robert Charles Becker, Andrew H. Johnson

Publication number: 20100321500Abstract: A system and method for addressing video surveillance fields of view limitations. The system includes a first video camera that located at a first vantage point and a second video camera that is located at a second vantage point. A first lidar is located at the first vantage point and a second lidar is located at the second vantage point. A global positioning system is used to determine the global position of the first and second cameras and the first and second lidars. A processor receives data from the first camera, the second camera, the first lidar, the second lidar and the global positioning system. The processor creates a synthetic video image from any vantage point that is located between the first and second vantage points using the data from the first and second video cameras, the first and second lidars and the global positioning system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2009Publication date: December 23, 2010Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Alan Cornett, Robert Charles Becker, Andrew H.

Publication number: 20080170758Abstract: A method and system for selecting and allocating high confidence biometric data. A combination of presented identification information along with gathered biometric data are associated with an entity separated by a sensor trigger. For example, presenting a driver's license in addition to automated gathering and identification of face, iris, voice, or any other combination of biometrics can be implemented in the context of gathering and selecting biometric data. Such a method and system solves the problem of harvesting sensor data from disparate sources together to form a more strongly identified individual user profile with appropriate related identifying information.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2007Publication date: July 17, 2008Inventors: Andrew H.

Publication number: 20030212610Abstract: A system and method for specification and exchange management includes a specification application, an exchange application, a source application, and an optional enterprise application. The specification application enables a user to create, modify, and retire specifications for items having standard terminology in a standard format. The exchange application enables a user to perform a transaction for generating a request for quote/request for proposal to designated suppliers for an item, receiving supply proposals in response to the requests, and forming a contract to supply of the items. The source application exchanges content between the specification application and the exchange application. The enterprise application communicates with user applications for users of the system and transmits content to and from the user and the specification application and the exchange application.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2003Publication date: November 13, 2003Inventors: Christopher A.

Patent number: 6042852Abstract: A refrigerated dough system is provided which includes a dough in a container flushed with a gas. The dough contains a leavening agent capable of generating gas in the dough after the dough is sealed in the container. The container is provided with a pressure release mechanism to release excess pressure generated within the container as the dough leavens and during storage. The dough system is capable of sustaining a leavened dough structure during storage so that upon baking the dough, the resulting baked product resembles a freshly prepared and baked dough.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1997Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: The Pillsbury CompanyInventors: William A.
