  • Publication number: 20120050532
    Abstract: A wearable personal tracking device that can communicate over a cellular network. The device includes a wrist mounted part, having a wristband and a clasp which holds the wristband on to the wrist of a user. The band is remotely lockable, and also creates an alarm when opened while in a specified mode. The housing holds a position detecting part which detects the position of a user who is wearing said wrist mounted part, and a cellular transceiving part which communicates information including said information via the cellular network, e.g., via G3 cellular internet connectivity. The remote monitoring node can receive the latch alarm, and can also create a remote locking command, based on conditions.

  • Patent number: 7473500
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to improved binary half tone (“BHT”) photomasks and microscopic three-dimensional structures (e.g., MEMS, micro-optics, photonics, micro-structures and other three-dimensional, microscopic devices) made from such BHT photomasks. More particularly, the present invention provides a method for designing a BHT photomask layout, transferring the layout to a BHT photomask and fabricating three-dimensional microscopic structures using the BHT photomask designed by the method of the present invention. In this regard, the method of designing a BHT photomask layout comprises the steps of generating at least two pixels, dividing each of the pixels into sub-pixels having a variable length in a first axis and fixed length in a second axis, and arraying the pixels to form a pattern for transmitting light through the pixels so as to form a continuous tone, aerial light image.
