  • Publication number: 20120285738
    Abstract: An electronics enclosure system includes a conductive polymer which includes electromagnetic interference shielding properties and produced to enhancing SE, reducing material costs, and improving thermal flow. “Parallel” hex shaped EMI waveguides placed in a honeycomb pattern are stacked in a staggered fashion with similar hex shaped EMI waveguides placed in a honeycomb pattern. The parallel hex shaped EMI waveguides extend into the interior and/or “cuts” into one or more sides of a an electronics enclosure. An EMI shielding polymer material, such as a coated polymer, or a nickel-fiber carbon polymer such as Primere® providing sufficient EMI shielding (or alternately a material that can be formed such as Superplastic Zinc) is used, having the result that the need for shielding gaskets are reduced, material usage is decreased, and thermal flow is greatly improved.

  • Publication number: 20120197775
    Abstract: The present invention allows for an entity to offer assets of various types that are independent of currency and banking institution policy for investment and securitization and securely over public (WAN), semi-public (e.g. AOL) and private network or subscription network. Assets are verified through unique identification systems which provide for security even though the entity may remain anonymous and also provides for a networked portable transaction system with the identified assets. The invention allows asset holders, individually or pooled, capable of becoming their own “IPO.

  • Patent number: 7991681
    Abstract: In one mode the present invention allows for transactions of various types to take place “anonymously” and securely over public (WAN), semi-public (e.g. AOL) and private or subscription networks and without regard or dependency to currency valuations or per se financial institutional policy. The present invention in another mode allows individuals or groups to “attract” investors anonymously over the network in their own asset holdings or even their asset building or acquisition plans, making each individual or pooled group capable of becoming their own “IPO.

  • Publication number: 20110083895
    Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration of an electronics enclosure, including a computer chassis in which three-dimensional shapes that may be in the form of a partial or quarter-sphere or cube or other periodic “patterns” may be stamped, molded, cut, or extruded into a lid and a five-sided “box” to provide improved EMI shielding, such that the need for gaskets is reduced or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 7289105
    Abstract: The present invention details a system for tracking writing motions internally to the pen (or other instrument) and communicating such motions to a general or specific purposes computer systems. In a preferred embodiment the present invention uses multiple tubes with electrically active material with viscosity surfaces in order to generate the necessary signals to determine the motion of the device in a targeted number of degrees. The data on movement is either supplemented with or oriented with magnetically-active thin film material which generates signals when the device is rotated. The data is then filtered and optionally processed and stored. The data then can be downloaded to a computer or other processing device to determine the motion of the pen or other tracking device.

  • Patent number: 7151992
    Abstract: The present invention is designed to complement the existing transportation infrastructure in order to alleviate ever-worsening traffic congestion in problematic areas by minimizing the impact of driver “bunching” habits and/or external events that lead to congestion problems. Events alleviated by the present invention may happen at naturally occurring roadway infrastructures such as merges, lane shifts, and exits, and under conditions like rush hour, accidents, stand-stills, and HOV lane activation times. Further, vehicles allowing their speed and spacing to be controlled should have access to high-flow lanes. This invention will best and most safely be implemented at low speeds when congestion is most problematic and bunching habits prevent the dissipation of gridlock. In particular embodiments, the invention will regulate multiple vehicle accelerations (non-negative acceleration) once a low threshold speed has been reached through the transmission of signals to receivers in properly equipped vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20040181483
    Abstract: The invention teaches an improved biometric security system for accounts, information or access available over a local or wide area network, where the biometric data of the account holder is recorded in the network and one or more alternate security biometric security identifiers, usually related to a involuntary feature such as heart rate or voice inflection is also programmed. During an adverse event, the involuntary biometric identifier can be placed into the system without the detection of a third party, implementing a contingency scenario and an alternate transaction or access to take place. The contingency instructions protect account, information or access available over the network and execute instructions to protect the account holder involved in the adverse event.

  • Publication number: 20040158526
    Abstract: The invention teaches an improved security system for accounts or information accessed over a local or wide area network, where the account holder is provided with an alternate security code, usually related to a PIN. During an assault, kidnapping, intimidation or other adverse event, the alternate security or access code/identifier can be placed into the system without the detection of a third party, implementing a contingency scenario and an alternate transaction or access to take place. The contingency instruction protect the assets or information available over the network and executing instructions to protect the account holder by and/or deception of a third party observer.

  • Publication number: 20040158525
    Abstract: The invention teaches an improved security system using a biometric detector for access to an account, information, security clearance or a facility, where the user is able to activate a alternate security measure, usually related to biometric detection. During an assault, kidnapping, or coercive situation, the alternate security measure can be activated by the security system without the detection of the bad actor, implementing a contingency scenario that protects the assets, information, facility and user by executing contingency instructions.
