  • Patent number: 8179253
    Abstract: A system, method, and devices for locating an object, in which the system includes objects having location tags for projecting data about the object, a processing unit for receiving data about the object, and an algorithm for processing the data. Typically, the location tag includes at least one mobility sensor that projects sensory data about the object, a wireless transceiver that projects received signal strength indication data about the object and a microprocessor. The processing unit receiving the sensory data and the received signal strength indication data about the object. The algorithm processes the data, provides a location estimate about the object and thereby locates the object.

  • Patent number: 7592909
    Abstract: A system for locating one or more objects. The system includes one or more objects having an unknown location. Each object comprises at least one mobility sensor for providing sensory information about the object, a wireless communications package for providing received signal strength indication (RSSI) and a processing unit for transmitting data about the object. The data includes the sensory information and the received signal strength indication. The system also includes at least one receiver for receiving the data about each object and at least one algorithm for processing the data about each object and identifying a location estimate about each object, thereby locating one or more objects having an unknown location.

  • Publication number: 20050246285
    Abstract: A system and method of licensing software using specialized set of code segments comprising: selecting a software to install on a workstation; inputting relevant information to access the software from a remote server, wherein relevant information may include information regarding the workstation or the user; randomly choosing a generator and verifier algorithm pair in a remote server; generating a key from the relevant information and the digital fingerprint of the workstation; storing the key and the verifier algorithm on a server; downloading the software onto a workstation; installing the software onto a workstation; requesting the server for the key and the verifier algorithm during or after installation; creating a specialized set of code segments; embedding the specialized set of code segments with the key and the verifier algorithm; sending the specialized set of code segments to the workstation; and executing the verifier algorithm to check the user's current inputs, wherein if the user's current inp
