Abstract: A Secure Environment Public Register (SEPR) provides a method and system that allows precious metals in the shape of bar(s) or units to be certified, specially numbered to provide exact linkage to an owner, allow secure movement of precious metals between secure facilities, and though Blockchain allow secure transfer of ownership between individuals and organizations. The SEPR allows gold and other precious metals to be easily held and traded in commerce with all the advantages of holding precious metals. The SEPR system allows exact audits of the metal bars on hand and avoids over-selling units since each bar is serialized and ownership is documented in a public register.

Abstract: A system for communicating a plurality of sensations from a first person perspective of an athlete to one or more observers may include a head attachment device having imbedded therein a computer connected to one or more cameras, one or more microphones, and a plurality of impact sensors. The cameras, microphones, and impact sensors may be powered by a battery also imbedded in the head attachment device. The system may also include a broadcast server which may include a wireless receiver in communication with the wireless transmitter of the computer, a processor receiving video, audio, and impact signals from the computer via a receiver. The system may also include an audio/visual display device in communication with the transmitter of the broadcast server. The audio/visual display device may include a processor which converts signals so that the audio, video, and impact signals may be perceived by observers.

Abstract: An internet profile dilution device and method are provided. To prevent the sale of individual user's internet searches to advertisers, an internet profile dilution software is configured to significantly dilute the individual search and browsing by opening a site the individual has selected, or in the default state, will automatically select from a variety of news outlet websites for dilution of the individual's internet profile. The internet profile dilution software will scan the site, for links to another article, and will navigate to that article and spend a random amount of time appearing to read the article. The software will search for particular words from the title of the article to continue to further dilute the internet profile of the individual. The individual's internet search is sufficiently diluted by the internet profile dilution software so that an accurate profile of the individual's internet search and browsing cannot be established.

Abstract: Current biometric access control systems rely on a biometric sensor at the access control point, a design which has shortcomings on throughput or biometric image quality, which is a particularly important limitation for vehicle traffic, particularly when vehicles do not stop. We disclose a Two-Phase Biometric Access Control System (TBACS) that includes biometric, multi-factor authentication in which the biometric sensor is not required to be at the access control point, the access authorization decision is made prior to arriving, and the access confirmation is verified at the access control point using a rapidly-read token that identifies the person seeking access.

Abstract: The Personal Warning Temperature (PWT) is a method of determining a person's personal warning temperature that defines a fever for that person. The PWT may also be used to provide an indication to recommend medical evaluation for a person. The method includes analyzing a person's body temperature measurements taken over time when the person may be healthy, in order to find the person's average temperature, a standard deviation, a channel defined by an upper and lower temperature bound using the average and standard deviation, such that nearly all body temperatures fall within the channel, and a personal warning temperature similarly defined using the average, and the standard deviation. A personal warning temperature may be used for improved and accelerated awareness of a person's health status.

Abstract: An information-based access control system for facilities. The control system includes a mobile app and securely connected central server, which is cloud-based. The app collects and transmits multiple biometric and other authentication factors and the facility enabling the server to verify identity and check to ensure the person is authorized to obtain access. If so, the server issues a limited duration approved biometric, which can be displayed to the facility guards, compared with a on-site image taken with a biometric sensor at the location, and used to control signal lights and electronic gates to obtain access quickly, conveniently, inexpensively, and securely. Also, a vehicle on the move can acquire access without having to slow down or stop if the biometric sensor can obtain an image inside the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for securely granting access to physical resources. An encrypted communication is received from a client hosted on a user device requesting resource availability data for a resource configured to be shared amongst a plurality of physical resource users in a time displaced manner. Resource availability data for the resource is used to populate a resource availability interface presented by the client hosted on the user device. An encrypted communication is received from the client requesting access to the resource for a specified period of time. A category for the requested access to the resource is determined. An inference or learning artificial intelligence engine is used to determine whether access for the resource is to be granted to the user for the specified period of time. In response to determining that access is to be granted to the user an encrypted code is transmitted to the user device.

Abstract: A system and method of testing, recording, tracking, and verifying the health of an individual to other persons while providing confidence that the individual user has taken and reported to at least one medical measurement, and this measurement has been identified as normal or not normal to the specific individual user, is provided. A medical instrument which is self-administered by the said individual user and a Green Screen Health Verification System (GS-HVS) server are provided. Software that contains prearranged decisions and protocols to provide guidance to said individual user and to an individual user's supervisor and records any abnormal reporting from said individual user and provides alerts based on said protocol. Software returns guidance from said GS-HVS server to said individual user, and upon said GS-HVS indicting that said individual user has good health, software displays a good health status or “Green Screen” on said individual user's said mobile device.

Abstract: The Personal Warning Temperature (PWT) is a method of determining a person's personal warning temperature that defines a fever for that person. The method includes analyzing a person's body temperature measurements taken over time when the person is healthy, in order to find the person's average temperature; standard deviation; a channel defined by an upper and lower temperature bound using the average and standard deviation, and a selected multiplier for the standard deviation, such that nearly all body temperatures fall within the channel; and a personal warning temperature similarly defined using the average, standard deviation, and another selected multiplier for the standard deviation. The method also determines a correction or interpretation of a person's body temperature based on the time of day to account for known variations associated with circadian rhythm. A person can use their personal warning temperature for improved and accelerated awareness of their health status.
