Patent number: 8830316Abstract: An unattended ground sensor system includes a sensor to produce pixel data from a radiating target within its field of view. The detection of such a target is implemented detectors in the sensor other than those used for imaging. Once a target has been detected, the sensor collects a linear array of pixels data at each sampling period throughout the time interval during which the target is within the field of view of the sensor. The linear arrays of pixels are transmitted to a location remote from the sensor, where they are analyzed to classify and identify the target and an alert is issued to applicable personnel when the classification and identification of the target warrants such.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Brimrose Technology CorporationInventors: Feng Jin, Yingqing Jia, Sergey Vishnyakov, Vladimir Stanislavsky, Sudhir B.

Patent number: 8719182Abstract: Systems and methods for shipping a package from a package sender to an intended recipient, utilizing Internet communications to place shipping orders, request on demand package pickup, maintain and utilize pre-stored profile information, view shipping history, track orders, etc. A package sender with an Internet-accessible computer accesses an Internet site and associated shipping system operated by a shipping service provider. The package sender enters information required for shipping the package, including shipping options and methods for payment, and the shipment transaction is validated. If the transaction is validated, printer indicia are communicated to the customer's computer, which is enabled to locally print a prepaid label containing special machine-readable as well as human-readable indicia.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: United Parcel Service of America, Inc.Inventors: Mark R. Hilbush, Anthony G. Creasy, Kurt L. Stadele, Jim Deveney, Jane Sneeringer, Charles G. Orf, David Michel, Christopher T. Schenken, Phillip G.
