  • Publication number: 20110283443
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transparent, removable, biodegradable material for use on eyewear, computer screens, touch sensitive devices, mobile phones, and the like. Because the material is transparent, it can provide protection for eyewear or devices such as laptops and mobile phones without obscuring vision or display. Because the material is biodegradable, it can be safely discarded no matter the location, thereby reducing cleanup and disposal costs. The biodegradable nature of the material greatly extends its range of uses to include uses such as road motorcycling, search and rescue use, medical uses, mountain biking, vehicle windscreen protection such as for helicopters, skydiving, parasailing, sailing, laptops and mobile phone use, caving, potholing, spelunking, cave diving, a wide variety of military uses, protection in conditions such as sandstorms, and other activities where biodegradable, transparent, removable screens would be advantageous.

  • Patent number: 7596850
    Abstract: A wireless communication device such as a cell phone is rendered temporarily inoperable by enclosing the device in a container such as a heat sealable bag (1) which has been metallized so that when the device (2) is sealed in the container (1) it is surrounded by a metal layer (9) which blocks signals to and from the device (3) to thereby render it inoperable. The device is sealed within the container (1) by a seal such as a heat seal which will reveal any attempt to remove the device from the container.

  • Publication number: 20080049308
    Abstract: A combination of filters for filtering selected wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation is provided on a transparent substrate such as a plastic film or glazing of a window. The combination of filters prevents or attenuates the passage of wavelengths through the substrate which would pose a security risk. The combination of filters is useful to prevent unauthorized data collection and information exchange from or within buildings or otherwise prevent such unauthorized data collection and information exchange from, for example, computer monitors or screens, personal digital assistance, and local area networks. The substrate with the combination of filters may be in the form of a bag or a tent.

  • Publication number: 20070042819
    Abstract: An enhanced wireless network system including a visible-light transparent, transmission shielding component for application to or incorporation in windows to create a shielded wireless network operation area. The shielding component enhances network performance by substantially reducing extraneous electromagnetic interference and enhances network security by substantially containing electromagnetic transmissions to desired areas. The shielding component may comprise several alternating layers of metal, to substantially attenuate transmissions to varying degrees, including attenuation of 20 to 50 db in the 1 MHz to 100 GHz range and beyond, while simultaneously permitting substantial transmission of visible light (such as 15-55%).

  • Patent number: 6891667
    Abstract: The invention describes a system and methods for filtering electromagnetic and visual transmissions and for minimizing acoustic transmissions. Various combinations of UV, IR, and yellow-tinted filters are applied in various physical configurations to a transparent substrate such as a plastic film or glazing of a window for modifying selected wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. For instance a light filter may have a multi-layered metallic sputtered stack having a relatively low sheet resistance. The combination of filters prevents or attenuates the passage of selected wavelengths through the substrate as needed to address security risks. The combination of filters is useful to prevent unauthorized data collection and information exchange from or within buildings or otherwise prevent such unauthorized data collection and information exchange from, for example, computer monitors or screens, personal digital assistants, and local area networks.
