Patent number: 8643746Abstract: A digital video camera system that provides a video summary using a method that includes: designating a reference image containing a particular person; capturing a video sequence of the scene using the image sensor, the video sequence including a time sequence of image frames; processing the captured video sequence using a video processing path to form a digital video file; during the capturing of the video sequence, analyzing the captured image frames using a person recognition algorithm to identify a subset of the image frames that contain the particular person; forming the video summary including fewer than all of the image frames in the captured video sequence, wherein the video summary includes at least part of the identified subset of image frames containing the particular person; storing the digital video file in the storage memory; and storing a representation of the video summary in the storage memory.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Intellectual Ventures Fund 83 LLCInventors: Keith Stoll Karn, Bruce Harold Pillman, Aaron Thomas Deever, John Robert McCoy, Frank Razavi, Robert Gretzinger

Publication number: 20140029090Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for illuminating a surface to be observed microscopically using a retractable beamsplitter. The retractable beamsplitter allows the use of coaxial illumination when the beamsplitter is positioned in the operator's line of sight. The retractable beamsplitter allows the use of non-coaxial illumination without reducing the amount of illumination that reaches the operator when the beamsplitter is retracted from the operator's line of sight. As a result a single system can be used effectively to provide various types of illumination.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Applicant: Endure Medical, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Michael Butler, Robert Troy Hewlett, Robert Jeffrey Hewlett, Robert McCoy Hewlett

Patent number: 8596904Abstract: A non-lethal vehicle device provides for the selective, remotely-deployed controlled stop of a targeted vehicle regardless of wheel or undercarriage configuration. The device is comprised of a combination of a remote arm/safe mechanism, a remote deployment controller, spike/membrane deployment mechanism(s), a “speed bump” type housing that can protrude (be driven over until deployed) or be submerged, and one or more membranes with a plurality of spikes. A combination of sensors may provide independent deployment once armed.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (Arizona), LLCInventors: Mynor J. Castro, Robert A. McCoy, William G. Seeglitz, Edwin A. Spomer

Patent number: 8548886Abstract: A system that facilitates opening of a bank account by banking personnel for a customer. The account opening system includes an automatic rate determination feature that uses customer information, account information and other criteria to determine an account interest rate. The rate determination system may also mediate rate negotiation between a personal banker and the customer by limiting the increase in rate awarded by the personal banker. An auditing system assigns numbers to a series of profiles, each describing a request to open an account. Profiles to be audited are determined by generating random numbers that fall within the range of assigned profile numbers. Random number generation is repeated until a threshold percentage of profiles have been selected for auditing. The account opening system includes a system for tracking the progress of the account application and for organizing information recorded by the personal banker during interactions with the customer.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.Inventors: Joel Joseph Bosch, Prashant Rathi, Kathleen Marie Howcroft, Robert McCoy West
