  • Patent number: 11321984
    Abstract: System and method for encryption currency counter measure and deterrence against counterfeiting. The system tracks the FSN for each FRN, from the time a serial number is assigned to a new bill, until the time the bill is retired from circulation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2022

  • Publication number: 20190251772
    Abstract: A system is described that uses “freckles” contained within printed content on Federal Reserve Notes (FRN), and the image-capture of such freckles, along with the printed Federal-Reserve-Note Serial Number (FSN) on each FRN, to detect and deter counterfeiting within physical currency systems of the U.S. and countries worldwide. Additionally, databases on Central Monitoring Agency servers (CMA servers) maintain a status on such captured data for FRNs in use, or potential use, by the U.S. Treasury or other currency issuing and oversight agency that maintains CMA servers. Devices that count and scan FRNs, at diverse point-of-sale and other currency-exchange and transaction locations (Transaction Locations), as well as those part of back-office operations at Transaction Locations, capture FRNs and freckle-related content from FRNs, for transmission to CMA servers via the Internet (Internet of Things Architecture or IOTA™).

  • Publication number: 20100146294
    Abstract: The invention (“INVENTION”) herein relates to government or private-use ciphers for assignable fictitious-identity information accessed through a data system or other form of data repository for maintenance or retention of financial, credit, medical or related asset management records. To help protect or restore integrity to such government or private-use ciphers occasionally compromised through private, public or commercial transactions, the art applies a prime/number-keyed acrostic-encryption throughout a data system or other form of information repository, encoding biometrically-inert transgression ciphers (“BIT-ciphers” or “TRANSGRESSION-CIPHERS”) therein. Such BIT-ciphers and their financial, credit or related asset management records form fictitious-identities, unassigned to any real person or real institution.

  • Patent number: 7546982
    Abstract: A detection-grid is disclosed that is part of a vehicle's thermal protection layer, such as that of a space shuttle. A hybrid digital/analog system detects electrical changes in the detection grid caused by mechanical trauma to a vehicle's external surface. The system produces timely and useful display of such events. Furthermore, with redundant verification of such real-time data, the vehicle can detach from other apparatus, such as an external fuel tank or booster rockets, to execute pre-planned glide or descent scenarios maximizing a crew's and vehicle's safe return before proceeding to orbit. The detection-grid ablates off during re-entry of a regular mission.

  • Patent number: 6236992
    Abstract: An improved computing system is described which eliminates potential errors associated with Year 2000 malfunctions. This system may be a retrofitted version of an existing computer system which has been intentionally date regressed to function in a time zone that eliminates potential date computation problems. To effectuate a complete regression of such system, existing databases are date regressed, existing programs are time synchronized with such databases, and existing I/O routines are modified to assure date arithmetic integrity. To handle years outside of a 100 year span, chronological encapsulation is used to set up year specific databases which interact with associated time synchronized copies of any main programs on such system.
