Patent number: 11109624Abstract: A dispenser of sanitary finger covers which are sanitized individually at the time of use. The system uses either a battery operated ultraviolet LED or spray disinfectant to automatically or manually sanitize the finger covers. The sanitary finger covers can be rapidly applied without contamination using a single finger. Removal and disposal are similarly rapid and easy. The finger covers are inexpensive and may be made from a variety of readily available and biodegradable materials. The dispenser is lightweight and portable. It can be carried by the user or attached to their uniform. The dispenser can be easily replenished with finger covers once empty, using a provided cartridge prefilled with finger covers.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Inventor: Richard Irving Stillman

Patent number: 8503740Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing biometric digit data variously include scanning a digit in a transverse direction relative to an array of sensor elements, detecting the scanned digit and/or a predetermined characteristic of the scanned digit, outputting from individual sensor elements of the array of sensor elements respective continuous streams of biometric data associated with the scanned digit, discrete sampling the respective continuous streams of data, and reconstructing the discrete sampled data. The discrete sampled data may be directly reconstructed, e.g., in accordance with a reconstruction characteristic associated with detecting and/or discrete sampling the scanned digit, to form a biometric characteristic image associated with the digit. Optionally, the respective continuous streams of data may be stored for later discrete sampling, or discrete sampled data may be stored for later reconstruction to form a biometric characteristic image associated with the digit.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Sonavation, Inc.Inventors: Richard Irving, Omid S.

Patent number: 8433110Abstract: Provided is a fingerprint sensor configured for detecting a pulse of a human or other mammal. A time series of fingerprint images is analyzed to identify time-based variations in spatial location and/or pressure from ridges of a finger, where the variations result from time-based variations in the flow of blood. Based on the analysis, a determination is made if the time-based variations are indicative of a pulse in a digit of the person, and if so, a determination is made as to the pulse rate based on the variations. Imaging sensitivity of the digit at the fingerprint sensor is optimized for determination of the pulse. The time series of fingerprint images is also analyzed to determine if there is bulk motion of the digit, in which case pulse rate analysis is temporarily suspended.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Sonavation, Inc.Inventors: Ronald A. Kropp, Richard Irving, Rainer M. Schmitt

The first and second sub-slices overlap. Also provided is a method for controlling a cursor on a screen. The method includes determining a shift between a first image slice and a second image slice and determining a displacement of the cursor on the screen based on the determined shift.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2008Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Sonavation, Inc.Inventors: Richard Irving, Omid S.

Publication number: 20120016604Abstract: Invention includes a novel pointing device which uses acoustic impediography as a means to locate the position of finger and then uses the said location to control the position of a cursor on a computer screen. In addition, while the finger is touching the sensor the touch-pressure level can be estimated via statistical data evaluation, as average brightness decreases with increasing touch-pressure providing a means for gesturing. This new device has the advantage that it can double as a biometric identification device for verifying the identity of the computer's user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: Sonavation, Inc.Inventors: Richard Irving, Omid S.

Publication number: 20100083324Abstract: Synchronized video playback among multiple users across a network provides a fully social experience where people in different locations may be enabled to watch the same video in a “virtual living room.” The users may be represented graphically, as avatars, in front of the video, and may be enabled to use animations, text chat, and voice chat to interact with each other. Thus, a group of people may be enabled to share the experience of watching a video together as if they were in the same room, without being physically present together.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2008Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Derek Smith, Kendall Ryan Davis, John Ikeda, Shaheen Gandhi, Dan B.
