  • Patent number: 8141134
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for enrolling a user into an authentication system. In some embodiments of the invention, a user completes a first portion of the enrollment or setup process using a first computer environment, but is not permitted to complete the enrollment or setup process from the first computer environment. The system permits the user to complete the enrollment or setup process only from a second computer environment different from the first computer environment. In one embodiment, the second computer environment is any computer environment outside of the first computer environment.

  • Publication number: 20070246606
    Abstract: An aircraft emergency landing assist system comprised of a harness to cradle the major stress points of the aircraft. The harness made of lightweight high tension material attached to the aircraft fuselage. The harness works as a sling with straps coming up each side of the aircraft to attach to a parachute system. In an emergency situation when a parachute is deployed said harness will cradle the body of the aircraft and relieve stress from said body. Pedal in cockpit of aircraft within reach of pilots foot. In an emergency situation, the pilot will push said pedal to activate distress signal, lock the fuel gauge in place A safety feature in the event there are intruders in the cockpit Activate dump fuel switch, activate hydraulic doors when doors are opened, they will activate chute deployment rocket. Said rocket will take canopy to it's full extension.

  • Patent number: 7142609
    Abstract: A method for detecting and quantifying impairments of a received communication signal of a QAM data communication system represented by a plurality of ideal values. The method includes storing a statistically significant number of a plurality of received points of the signal for each ideal value corresponding to a plurality of groups of said plurality of ideal values. The received points are defined by an in-phase and a quadrature components in a coordinate system in which a first axis is the in-phase axis and a second axis is a quadrature axis. The components have corresponding ideal components from their respective ideal value. Each group corresponds to respective impairments and is specific to the same.

  • Patent number: 6980163
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus for detecting a leaked electromagnetic signal is provided. The apparatus includes a telescoping antenna and a casing, which has a portion of the antenna mounted in it. The antenna can move telescopically relative to the casing between an extended configuration, in which the antenna extends away from the casing, and a retracted configuration, in which the antenna is housed in the casing. A signal analyzer is located in the casing and is connected to the telescoping antenna. The antenna detects the electromagnetic signal, which is analyzed by the signal analyzer.
