  • 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.

  • 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.
