Patent number: 11886562Abstract: A system of enhancing biometric analysis matching utilizes an image sensor, such as a digital camera, to capture an image of a face of a person. The system may perform image enhancement, such as edge and contrast enhancement, prior to performing face matching. The enhancement may be localized to a given image region based on determined region illumination. The system may perform image processing and analysis comprising face detection, alignment, feature extraction, and recognition. A biometric recognition confidence indicator may be generated using the results of the image enhancement and analysis. At least partly in response to the biometric recognition confidence indicator falling below a threshold enhancing recognition confidence using an image of visual indicia captured using the image sensor.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Flash Seats, LLCInventors: Michael J. Rojas, Benjamin Charles Cohen, Andrew Michael Rosenbaum

Patent number: 11397949Abstract: Applicant's Smartphone application provides ticket-holding patrons an alternative, digital means of verifying personal identification at entry to a venue or event. The Smartphone application periodically generates a unique QR code (barcode) that contains a unique identifier (i.e., mobile device ID) which prompts the venue/event entry system to recognize the patron. No barcode (serving as a ticket, or authentication/verification, or otherwise) is downloaded from the system server to the Smartphone/mobile device client in contrast to prior art systems.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Flash Seats, LLCInventors: Benjamin Charles Cohen, Andrew Michael Rosenbaum

Publication number: 20140342961Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to diester-based multi-grade engine oil formulations. The diesters employed have a number a performance benefits in lubricant applications—among them: biodegradability, extreme temperature performance, oxidative stability, solubility for additives and deposit and sludge precursors, flash and fire points. However, ester usage in lubricants has been quite limited due to their high cost. We utilize new proprietary diesters, structurally different from traditional diesters, which are made from fatty acids and alpha olefins in simple processing steps, yet feature performance similar to more traditional lubricant esters.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: Chevron U.S.A.
