  • Patent number: 9412022
    Abstract: A method for biometric recognition may be employed on multiple biometrics, including irises and ears. The method includes decomposing the radiometric profile of each line of an image into a plurality of wavelets using a wavelet transform process. A unique signal is calculated using the plurality of wavelets. A template is assembled using the signal and areas of interest in the template are identified. The template is then compared to a second template using the plurality of areas of interest.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7317416
    Abstract: A system for identifying an individual, including an imaging radar for receiving radar data pertaining to at least a portion of a skeleton of at least one individual, an imaging module for generating at least one skeletal image of the at least one individual based on the radar data, at least one database including a plurality of skeletal data pertaining to a plurality of individuals, an identification module for comparing the at least one skeletal image with the plurality of skeletal data to determine a match.

  • Publication number: 20060293925
    Abstract: A system for viewing and updating medical records using patient biometrics including at least one biometrics database including a plurality of biometric identifiers, at least one records database including a plurality of medical data records, at least one biometrics reader for receiving two or more biometric identifiers from a patient, a central records processor, software executing on the processor for querying the at least one biometrics database to verify the two or more biometric identifiers, and software executing on the processor for retrieving a medical data record corresponding to the two or more biometric identifiers from the at least one records database.

  • Patent number: 4641349
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for identifying an eye, especially a human eye, on the basis of the visible features of the iris and pupil. The eye is first illuminated until the pupil reaches a predetermined size, at which an image of the iris and pupil is obtained. This image is then compared with stored image information for identification. The stored image information is previously obtained from an eye, the pupil of which was similarly brought to the same predetermined size. The illumination of the iris may include oblique illumination from several positions around the circumference of the iris. The illumination from each position may be relatively monochromatic, so that the resulting shadow will lack the color of the light source at that position, providing better contrast for elevation-depednent features. A system for performing iris recognition may include a processor which controls an illumination control circuit and a camera to obtain images at several predetermined sizes of the pupil.

  • Patent number: 4053953
    Abstract: Artificial intraocular lenses comprise an optical zone portion for implanting in the posterior chamber of an eye, posts extending from said optical zone portion through the iris into the anterior chamber thereof, and retaining means for securing to the ends of the posts, whereby said posts and retaining means hold and position the artificial intraocular lenses within the eye. In some embodiments, the posts and retaining means are configured for an interengaging press fit. In another embodiment the posts are attached to the retaining means and are adapted to be secured to the optical zone portion.

  • Patent number: 3991426
    Abstract: Artificial intraocular lenses comprise an optical zone portion adapted to be implanted in the posterior chamber of an eye, posts extending from said optical zone portion through the iris and into the anterior chamber thereof, and retaining means adapted to be secured to the ends of the posts, whereby said posts and retaining means hold and position the artificial intraocular lenses within the eye. In some embodiments, the posts and retaining means are configured for an interengaging press fit. In another embodiment the posts are attached to the retaining means and are adapted to be secured to the optical zone or lens portion positioned in the posterior chamber.
