  • Patent number: 11666267
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for discovery of knowledge, interest and experience of individuals indicated by measured psychophysiologic response (e.g., electroencephalograph) to sensible stimuli (e.g., images). Stimuli are selected to explore targeted topics described in various levels of detail and sub-categories organized as hierarchal trees. The degree of psychophysiologic response to stimuli associated with sub-categories of topics in the hierarchal tree guides selection of additional stimuli to systematically explore hierarchal tree nodes, levels and branches to discover the extent of knowledge, interest or experience related to the targeted topic.

  • Patent number: 11324436
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting knowledge based on brainwave response to external stimulation. A subject can be exposed to stimuli and brainwave responses indicating a p-300 signal can be detected. Further stimuli or sequences of stimuli can be selected be presented to the subject based on the category correlated with the stimuli that indicate a p-300 response.

  • Publication number: 20210274868
    Abstract: A system for mitigating the transmission of infectious threats by providing an easy access to a cloth or mitt attached to a retractable cord to allow the user to grab a doorknob, subway passenger strap or pole without having skin contact with public touched surfaces. A protection cloth and retraction cord are attached to a personal attachment device, which can be worn on a belt, also has a container with sanitation solution that is applied to the protection cloth after use and can also be applied to a person's hands. A second cloth is also used to wipe down surfaces such as seats, knobs, switches, etc. providing a reusable sanitation cloth and refillable sanitation container. The invention will reduce the contact transmission of infectious disease threats in a more convenient method than current traditional methods of disposable cloths or liquids.

  • Patent number: 11036969
    Abstract: A device and method for achieving a high probability of match for identifying individuals in a particular group, is provided. The device and method consists of two stages. The first stage compares a biometric template against personnel in an authorized group with a high probability of match standard. In the second stage, in response to no match being made in the authorization group, a search would be conducted against a second group, such as a watch list, with the same or lower probability of match rate.

  • Patent number: 10772527
    Abstract: This invention, which focuses on personality and aptitude matching by psychophysiologic response to stimuli, is referred to as Brain Matching. In general terms, this invention starts by selecting highly specialized skill sets and top performer group for each skill set. The various groups are analyzed though psychophysiologic stimuli testing by using basically the same testing consisting of large numbers stimuli tests in a consistent testing environment. Stimuli tests can range from hundreds to thousands of images each producing a brainwave response. Neural Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning computers look at the test results, highly specialized group by other highly specialized group to reduce the groups signature/response commonality into a template. Test subjects are then tested using the same stimuli. The subject's test results are analyzed for correlation with the various specialized expert groups.

  • Patent number: 10490305
    Abstract: A mobile System is disclosed that uses biometric identification to identify an injured person, provides an immediate warning of a special or medical condition, and can transmit that data to the hospital along with additional photos and video of the injury. This provides emergency rooms with access to the patient's medical records, history of the patient's medical conditions, real-time photographs which better prepare the medical staff to identify the incoming patent prior to the patient arriving at the hospital. Additional embodiments involve Law Enforcement uses where criminal, missing persons and wanted persons' data are used for identification. Military uses involve the use of data of military persons of concern. Medical fraud prevention documents medical transport, patient identity, verification of medical cards; and physician services documentation.

  • Patent number: 8931391
    Abstract: An armored vehicle with heavy side armor boxes and angled undercarriage armor, utilizing the chassis of overmatch armored vehicles, with a crew compartment for two, a rear door entry, and a blast gap between the side armor and crew compartment. This configuration provides for explosively formed penetrator (EFP) and improvised explosive device (IED) defeat and high levels of crew and vehicle survivability. This configuration allow a light vehicle frame such as a light pick up truck or military HMMWV to withstand very large mine, EFP, IED, and rocket propelled threats.

  • Publication number: 20140354405
    Abstract: A federated biometric identity verification system that allows biometric verification of individuals across multiple organizations without sharing access to database content between those organizations. Multiple biometric application databases are securely networked together using public-key infrastructure techniques. Biometric information is collected from a subject, and segregated into applicable subsets or modalities, and searchable templates are generated. The templates are encrypted and searched against each database securely without requiring the comingling of database content. Results are returned for each database searched consistent with the characteristics authorized by the organization controlling the database. No further access to the database is allowed.

  • Patent number: 7386499
    Abstract: This invention has the potential to generate very good return on investments from stocks that are conservative in movement. This invention will greatly benefit investors that do not have the time to constantly trade stock yet want to take advantage of normal price fluctuations. The Limit Order Coupled LinK (LOCK) invention, for example, will take a buy order, complete the transaction at the specified price, then automatically resubmits a new order to sell at a specified higher price. If specified, the process can automatically cycle through the buy-sell process a set number of time allowing the investor to take advantage of intra-day market moves and normal stock price fluctuations with no personal investor evolvement. The LOCK order, with set profit margins, allows on-line traders and brokers to place one order, which will automatically generate logical, sequenced additional orders returning a profit on each transaction. LOCK will benefit both the investor and the stock trading company.
