Publication number: 20240082749Abstract: An interactive toy comprising a function device for performing user-perceptible, controllable functions. The interactive toy also includes a rechargeable power source and a charging circuit for contactless receipt of electrical energy and for charging the rechargeable power source when the interactive toy is positioned in a charging zone of a contactless charging device. The interactive toy is adapted to determine a charging rate at respective positions relative to the charging device and to generate a user-perceptible output indicative of the determined charging rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: LEGO A/SInventors: Thomas Alan DONALDSON, Mark Ross CHAMPKINS, Radost Radoslavova KEREFEYNA, Rasmus Bissenbakker KÆRSGAARD, Yufan Wei WANG, Arun VENKATASUBRAMANIAN, Simon Mark JORDAN, Andrew James KNIGHTS, Isobel Jane ASHBEY, Martin Edward BROCK, Rosanna Elizabeth PARRISH, Silviu TOMA, Robert George MILNER

Patent number: 11779517Abstract: A medication bottle includes an outer container wall, an inner container wall and a fluid, such as an aversive liquid, located between the walls. In another aspect, the fluid is located within separate compartments or channels located between the walls where the walls contact or are secured to each other. A further aspect provides a removeable cap including multiple sensors, at least one of which is a biometric sensor.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignees: Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, Board of Regents of the University of NebraskaInventors: Bahar Aliakbarian, Muhammad Rabnawaz, Susan E.

Patent number: 11611881Abstract: A passive authentication method includes, in response to receiving a requested action from a first user, obtaining a set of sensor data and categorizing first sensor data of the set of sensor data into a first modality of a set of modalities. The method includes, for the first modality of the set of modalities, determining a distance value by applying a first modality model to the first sensor data and comparing the distance value to a first verified value of the first user for the first modality. The method includes, based on the comparison, determining a first authentication decision of the distance value. The method includes, in response to the first authentication decision indicating the first sensor data corresponds to the first user, performing the requested action.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignees: Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, Ford Global Technologies LLCInventors: Arun Ross, Anil K. Jain, Debayan Deb, Kwaku O. Prakah-Asante, Krishnaswamy Venkatesh Prasad

Patent number: 7142699Abstract: A method for matching fingerprint images is provided. The method includes the steps of acquiring a query image of a fingerprint; extracting a minutiae set from the query image; comparing the minutiae set of the query image with a minutiae set of at least one template image to determine transformation parameters to align the query image to the at least one template image and to determine a minutiae matching score; constructing a ridge feature map of the query image; comparing the ridge feature map of the query image to a ridge feature map of the at least one template image to determine a ridge feature matching score; and combining the minutiae matching score with the ridge feature matching score resulting in an overall score, the overall score being compared to a threshold to determine if the query image and the at least one template image match.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2002Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Siemens Corporate Research, Inc.Inventors: James G. Reisman, Arun Ross
