Curtis G. McConnell has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240385108
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for remote and quantitative monitoring of, analysis of, and/or response to the internal conditions of a physical object (e.g., an artistic work) and the external microenvironment impacting the physical object. In some aspects, an art tracker device for monitoring health of an artwork includes a substrate inconspicuously, unobtrusively, and noninvasively attachable to the artwork: one or more of sensors that monitor an internal condition of the artwork itself and/or an external condition from a microenvironment surrounding a portion of or the whole artwork: a controllable power supply unit to selectively power device components: a processing unit that processes sensor outputs as data associated with the detected conditions of the artwork; and a communications unit to wirelessly transmit the data to a remote device.

  • Publication number: 20240161526
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, devices and methods for quantifying unique features of an object such as an artistic work to identify and authenticate the object and specific characteristics thereof using multi-spectral diagnostic characterization techniques and analytical algorithms. In some aspects, a method for creating an identification for an object includes acquiring image data of an object in two or more electromagnetic spectrums along a coordinated array of sample regions of the object; analyzing the acquired image data to produce a quantitative data set including specific characteristics of the object associated with the two or more electromagnetic spectrums for each sample region; generating a digital identification associated with a unique data fingerprint, based on the specific characteristics, in which the digital identification solely corresponds to the object; and storing the generated digital identification.
