  • Publication number: 20180357644
    Abstract: A biometric card includes sensors embedded in nanofiber substrate for detecting biometric contents. The sensor are configured for analyzing biological characteristics such as human characteristics for security and identification purposes. Embodiments provide means for identifying biological characteristics to detect from a database of fingerprints, a known criminal by matching fingerprint samples collected with prints in the criminal database. Embodiments provide a sweep-able biometric card embedded with biometric authentication sensor associated with biometric authentication sensing surface disposed in a reachable low-stress region. The reachable low-stress region has a dimension substantially smaller than the biometric card for biometric detections and applications for DNA fingerprinting.

  • Publication number: 20140306813
    Abstract: Advanced voice over safety apparatus for vehicles and equipment that uses Electro-mechanical or mechanical transmission means. The apparatus is configured for cars, buses, trucks, planes or any other vehicle that moves and uses batteries as part of its power supply. Disclosed embodiment comprises at least one of: a backing safety system, a school bus stop sign arm safety system, vehicle components pre-operation safety system, and a driver information safety system that is programmed to recognize dangerous vehicle situations and alert the operator of a vehicle in an audible manner the operating conditions to prevent accidents from occurring. The voice over safety apparatus further includes driver inspection program for use before the vehicle is put in operation or put to motion.

  • Patent number: 7426429
    Abstract: An apparatus for preventing occupant injury during accident has various features to ensure safety including a sensor (70) detecting seat belt engagement and a means for varying the tension of a seatbelt (17), depending upon the weight of the occupant (110) sits on any of the seats (17), the load cell switch (18) will close, allowing the load cell output energy to energize the control module (25). The control module (25), after receiving signal communication from any of the load cells (15), will then enable the counter (50) to count the number of closed load cell switches (18) and enables the optoisolator switch (70) to then energize the latching relay (80) to check for the seat belt latching of the occupied seats (10) with closed load cell switches (18) and to energize, the latching relay switch (85).

  • Patent number: 7116941
    Abstract: An entertainment device for vehicles having communication and information means adaptable to include various telecommunication and Internet applications, a sun-visor monitoring screen is configured with the entertainment device for viewing data content. The sun-visor is configured with an electronic screen protector for protecting the screen. The device, which is referred to as megatel, incorporates receivers and transmitters to enable cell phone and Internet transmission via the radio wave of an entertainment device radiated towards the antenna to the megatel body and output to the CPU. The signal to the CPU is controlled by the controller so that transmissions for the radio, the cell phone, and the Internet is separated and output to the monitoring screen and the speakers of the entertainment device so as to allow hands free communication while driving.

  • Patent number: 6989740
    Abstract: An audio safety apparatus for vehicles and equipment that operate in a reverse mode using Electro-mechanical or mechanical means adaptable to various electro-mechanical applications. The apparatus is used for cars, buses, trucks, planes or any other vehicle that moves and has a battery as part of its power supply. The audio safety apparatus has a backing safety system, a school bus stop sign arm safety system, and a driver information safety system. Through a system of hardware connected to a CPU (central processing unit), a sound chip and a waterproof speaker, the apparatus is programmed to recognize dangerous vehicle situations and alert the operator of a vehicle in an audible manner before accidents occur. The audio safety apparatus includes a driver inspection program for use before the vehicle is put in operation or put to motion.

  • Patent number: 6801841
    Abstract: A transportation information system's technology for communicating with end users to finding transportation solutions on failed components, a detailed description of a failed component's behavior is typed-in and analyzed by the system's software and a solution is enabled from its database warehouse. After the solution is enable, the system generates a repair order form for record keeping of the failed component repaired and also generates preventive maintenance inspection programs and forms from counting a preset mileage of logged-on equipment.

  • Patent number: 6762686
    Abstract: The wireless home security detector monitors fire, smoke, and home security to protect the home. The wireless home security detector dials the proper authorities in the event of an emergency. An alarm will come on in seconds after the smoke or fire is detected. When the fire alarm is activated, it will emit a special code that will activate the passive infrared motion detector that will check for any body heat inside the home. If body heat is detected, the infrared motion detector will activate an alarm responsive to detecting the location of a person; and include a human voice response. This alarm will keep sounding if body heat is detected and it will also monitor the body heat location as the person moves from one room to the other. The motion detector will stay on in the occupied room as an indication that a person has been located inside the room, to aid authorities in an emergency.
