  • Patent number: 9357966
    Abstract: A drug screening device for testing an iris for use of a chemical known to have a neurological effect that interferes with normal functioning of the iris and the voluntary muscles of the eye. The drug screening device can test and document reactivity of the iris under known light conditions and can test for the presence of horizontal nystagmus. The identity of a subject can be confirmed by applying an iris pattern recognition model of a captured image of an iris of the eye compared with an image of an iris stored in a library of baseline color or a library of infrared eye images. The device can provide alarms when one eye pupil diameter exceeds or falls below the opposite eye pupil diameter and when horizontal gaze nystagmus has been determined to be present.

  • Patent number: 6213778
    Abstract: A unique painting process and an associated kit including the materials required for practicing the method. The method includes the acts of providing a background media providing a paint source, dipping the posterior of the infant in the paint, and stamping the posterior on the background media to create stamping prints. The kit of the present invention includes a flat, flexible backing piece, at least one paint bottle attached to the backing piece, at least one reservoir attached to the backing piece, at least one painting tool attached to the backing piece, and a plastic cover having a periphery, the plastic cover positioned over the protective cover, plurality of paint bottles, plurality of reservoirs, and plurality of paint brushes, and attached around its peripheral edge to the backing piece.

  • Patent number: 6022219
    Abstract: A unique painting process and an associated kit including the materials required for practicing the method. The method includes the acts of preparing a protective covering on a work surface, preparing a background media by placing it on the protective covering on the work surface, placing a reservoir on the protective covering, filling the reservoir with a paint, dipping the posterior of the infant in the paint, and stamping the posterior on the background media to create stamping prints.
