Patent number: 11904624Abstract: A structure for secure containment of information (SSCI) that is in the form of a laminate which includes at least two layers. The laminate is constructed to contain information such as a code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key or personal identification number (PIN). The information is located between the layer of the laminate such that the code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key, or PIN is not detectable from outside the laminate. The SSCI is configured to provide access and expose the code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key, or PIN by delaminating at least one layer, thereby indicating that tampering has occurred to the laminate. The SSCI can also function as a public key or private key for a blockchain, to provide access to a physical lock or to provide account access to claim financial value.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Inventors: Adam Trexler, Laurie Johansen, Paul Diffendaffer, Kelda Diffendaffer

Publication number: 20230175140Abstract: A metallic sheet with deposited structured images and method for manufacture (MSDIMM) that includes a substrate, at least one structural feature, and a metal layer. The structural feature is at least one cavity on the substrate's upper surface, or at least one material object that extends outward from the substrate's upper surface. The metal layer is deposited, either by sputtering or atomic deposition, onto the substrate's upper surface, and, as the metal layer is deposited, the metal layer interfaces with and follows the dimensions of the structural feature(s), thereby creating a visible image at the location(s) of the structural feature(s). The visible image can be any image, and is preferably either an artistic image, a textual image, or an authentication image. The MDSIMM can be used for a variety sf purposes, and is especially effective as a form of exonumia or currency.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Laurie Johansen, Adam Trexler, Paul Diffendaffer

Patent number: 9414212Abstract: A community emergency request communication system (CERCS) that provides a person in crisis with ability to send an emergency alert. A primary responder(s) and/or secondary responder(s) receive the alert and can provide aid to the person in crisis. The alerts are sent from a communication device such as a smart phone or cell phone through a server. The responder(s) receive the alert on a communication device and replies through the server. Additionally, personal contacts of the person in crisis can also be notified of the emergency. The system collects and stores relevant event feedback, performance and skill ratings of the responders and the persons in crisis in the system, as well as incident information. The system provides an individual and a community with an additional and/or alternative emergency response capability, which may provide faster or more reliable emergency response than other conventional emergency response methods under some circumstances.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Inventors: Viken Nokhoudian, Anis Alex Kahouch, Laurie Johansen

Publication number: 20140377517Abstract: A precious metal thin-film laminate (PMTL) (10) that is presented in terms of a structure and as a method for producing various embodiments of the structure. The PMTL (10) is comprised of three basic elements: a substrate (12) having an upper surface (14) and a lower surface (16), a selectable quantity of a precious metal (18) such as gold (20) that is deposited onto the upper surface (14) or onto the lower surface (16) of the substrate (12), and a protective layer (22) that is applied over the precious metal (18). Preferably, the PMTL (10) also includes indicia (24) and a PMTL authenticating device (26). The PMTL (10) can be utilized as material for collectible art, traded, and purchased and sold by individuals and/or commercial enterprises. The resulting laminate is then cut to expose the precious metal at the edges.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2013Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Laurie Johansen, Paul Diffendaffer

Patent number: 5400175Abstract: A lens (10) that substantially blocks horizontally polarized light and selectively blocks wavelengths between 300 and 549 nanometers. The selective blocking is controlled by a sharp cut-on filter (14) selected to cut-on at either 450, 500, 515, 530, or 550 nanometers. The specific blocking and cut-on point selected is dependent upon the ultimate usage/environment of the lens (10). If a 450 cut-on filter is selected, wavelengths between 300 and 449 nanometers are blocked before a cut-on occurs at 450 nanometers; similarly, a 550 cut-on filter blocks wavelengths between 300 and 549 nanometers before a cut-on occurs at 550 nanometers. The lens (10) also allows 30 to 40 percent of wavelengths over 625 nanometers to be transmitted. The filter (14)in combination with the polarizer (16) blocks harmful Ultraviolet radiation and blue light.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1992Date of Patent: March 21, 1995Assignee: Suntiger, Inc.Inventors: Laurie A.
