  • Patent number: 10648904
    Abstract: Polarized light characteristics are detected and mapped to an application, such as product identification. A process of reflecting a directed light emission through a polarizing filter, and sensing the processed light emission having particular characteristics is provided. The characteristics of the sensed light emission is associated with a “color code” that is cross-referenced within a database of color codes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9824336
    Abstract: A method to identify and manage recyclable materials. The method includes the steps of: (i) identifying, using a mobile device, a recyclable material based on a detected oscillation frequency of an oscillator associated with the recyclable material; (ii) communicating, using the mobile device, information about the recyclable material to a controller, the information comprising an identification of the recyclable material and a location of the recyclable material; and (iii) creating, by the controller, scheduling instructions for the identified recyclable material.

  • Patent number: 9712601
    Abstract: A computer system and associated method and software where communications between the cloud and a sensor device (for example, a temperature sensor) pass through and are processed by a middleware appliance. The middleware appliance creates data structures called cloud event data objects (cEDOs). A cEDO may include, for example: event data, device data, sensor data, geo key data, payload key data and data value pairs.

  • Patent number: 9465010
    Abstract: A method to identify and manage recyclable materials provides a recyclable material with a quartz crystal identification element configured to oscillate at a predetermined frequency associated with the recyclable material. A mobile device detects the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal, identifies the recyclable material based on the detected oscillation frequency, and sends that information to a controller.

  • Patent number: 9108797
    Abstract: A method to identify and manage recyclable materials provides a recyclable material with a quartz crystal identification element configured to oscillate at a predetermined frequency associated with the recyclable material. A mobile device detects the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal, identifies the recyclable material based on the detected oscillation frequency, and sends that information to a controller. The controller creates handling instructions for the pickup of the identified recyclable material.
