Abstract: Systems and methods for providing personal information certification and management includes receiving, from a first device, a first privacy policy associated with a website, associating the first privacy policy with a first certification, and displaying, on a customer device in response to the determining that the customer device has accessed the website, the first certification. One or more pre-authorized consent configurations associated with the customer is retrieved, from a non-transitory memory. Pre-authorized consent associated with the website is determined according to the one or more pre-authorized consent configurations using the first certification. The pre-authorized consent is sent to the first device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable imaging apparatus for imaging an internal area of an object, such as a body cavity, organ or passage of a human or animal. The imaging apparatus comprises an endoscope and a hand holdable image-viewing device releasably connectable to a proximal end of the endoscope. The endoscope comprises an image capture optical pathway and an illumination optical pathway. The image-viewing device comprises an image detector optically couplable to the image capture optical pathway, a display in communication with the detector and a light source optically couplable to the illumination optical pathway. In use, light is transmitted from the light source to the distal end of the endoscope via the illumination optical pathway and illuminates the internal area to be viewed. An optical image of the internal area is transmitted from the distal end of the endoscope to the image-viewing device via the optical image pathway and detected by the detector.

Abstract: A system for monitoring traffic across a structure. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) reflects a light wavelength. A mounting mechanism connects the FBG to the structure, such that physical change of the structure changes a stress to the FBG that changes the light wavelength. And optical fiber carries a first light beam to the FBG and carries a second light beam from the FGB. This permits first light beam including the light wavelength to be received from a light source, and permits the first light beam to be altered into the second light beam by passing the light wavelength through the FBG, and permits the second light beam to be provided to a detector to sense the light wavelength present in the second light beam. From this the stress in the structure and information about the traffic across a structure can be inferred.

Abstract: A position determining system (PDS)(100) or multiple parameters measurement system (MPMS)(300) particularly useful for translation and rotation measurement of objects having up to five degrees of freedom. A light source (122, 302) provides light beams (124, 304) into at least two channels. Each channel may include an interferometer (310), reflective target (110, 314), beam splitter (128, 312), detector (132, 316), and receiver (318). In concert, the detectors (132, 316) sense horizontal, vertical, and roll position and the receivers (318) sense longitudinal and yaw position change. Optionally, modulation can be imposed on the light beams (124, 304) and phase-sensitive synchronous demodulation used to enhance accuracy.

Abstract: An improved railroad switch monitoring unit of the type that determines whether a mobile rail is brought into a closed state or an open state with respect to a stationary rail. The improvement comprises a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) included in the monitoring unit that is used to determine, based on stress able change in the resonant wavelength of the FBG, whether the mobile rail and the stationary rail are closed or open.

Abstract: A fiber optic track circuit including a light source, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) unit, and a receiver all connected by optical fiber. The light source provides a light via the optical fiber to the FBG unit. The FBG unit is mountable on a portion of a railway system directly effected by the weight of a passing train, and it receives the light beam and provides a reflected beam to the receiver. The receiver then provides a receiver signal based on the reflected beam. And a processor then determines, based on pre-set criteria and the receiver signal, whether to communicate and what to communicate as a track circuit signal to an external device.

Abstract: A data distribution system (10) including an information card (12) to work with a reader (14, 72). The information card (12) includes visible indicia (20) on its front, stripe zones (34) and a ring zone (36) nominally “on” its back and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag (70). The zones (34, 36) are suitable for magnetically recording and the RFID tag is suitable for electronically storing data. Optional characteristics for such data can concurrently be recorded or stored. The reader (14, 72) may be a linear reader (14a), a rotary reader (14b), a card-stationary reader (14c, 14d), or a RFID reader/interrogator (72), and may optionally act automatically in response to reading one or more of the optional data characteristics. If the reader (14) is a rotary reader (14b) the information card (12) may particularly be loaded into a cartridge (16) which is loaded into the rotary reader (14b).

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for accident mitigation at a grade crossing of a railway and a highway. One or more gates are selectively horizontally movable to block the highway such that vehicles are blocked from entering the grade crossing, or alternately movable to unblock the highway yet concurrently then block vehicles from exiting the grade crossing onto the railway without impacting at least one gate. Alternately, one or more highway-gates are selectively vertically movable to block or unblock the highway and one or more railway-gates are vertically movable to guard or unguard the railway such that a vehicle cannot exit the grade crossing onto the railway without impacting a railway-gate.
