Abstract: An internet profile dilution device and method are provided. To prevent the sale of individual user's internet searches to advertisers, an internet profile dilution software is configured to significantly dilute the individual search and browsing by opening a site the individual has selected, or in the default state, will automatically select from a variety of news outlet websites for dilution of the individual's internet profile. The internet profile dilution software will scan the site, for links to another article, and will navigate to that article and spend a random amount of time appearing to read the article. The software will search for particular words from the title of the article to continue to further dilute the internet profile of the individual. The individual's internet search is sufficiently diluted by the internet profile dilution software so that an accurate profile of the individual's internet search and browsing cannot be established.

Abstract: Traditionally, biometrics provides identification based on fingerprints, iris, or face to a vendor. The vendor's database can be hacked or a person's traditional biometrics can be stolen or compromised. Because an individual has only FFten fingers and two eyes, if compromised, secure identification becomes very difficult. A new approach for personal identification, leveraging “skin” biometrics, offers protection for individuals, and provides the ability to change their biometric identity by selecting a different patch of skin to use as skin identification. The biometric method and system provides biometric identification based on a small section of a person's skin. Skin biometrics is leveraged for positive identification of individuals. Skin biometrics captures a region of the subject's skin topography, then maps surface landmarks, creating a unique result that the user can provide in various authentication scenarios.

Abstract: Current biometric access control systems rely on a biometric sensor at the access control point, a design which has shortcomings on throughput or biometric image quality, which is a particularly important limitation for vehicle traffic, particularly when vehicles do not stop. We disclose a Two-Phase Biometric Access Control System (TBACS) that includes biometric, multi-factor authentication in which the biometric sensor is not required to be at the access control point, the access authorization decision is made prior to arriving, and the access confirmation is verified at the access control point using a rapidly-read token that identifies the person seeking access.

Abstract: The Selectable Facial Recognition Assistance Method and System (SFRA) allows law enforcement officers, military personnel, and other users the ability to rapidly and accurately identify wanted or known personnel, by combining the ability to select the type of examination, selection of optimized face matching algorithms and expert face examiners. The SFRA allows the user to select “Quick Looks” or “Long Looks” with respect to the level of detail of examination, along with race-based selected algorithms and expert face examiners. The race-based focused examination combining specialized algorithms and examiners will produce the highest confidence levels of match or no-match based on photographs taken, submitted, as well as database photographs. The SFRA will greatly assist users and persons being photographed to avoid false matches and false no-matches. This system will greatly reduce misidentification, profiling, or any other identification weaknesses that the systems and users may have.

Abstract: The Personal Warning Temperature (PWT) is a method of determining a person's personal warning temperature that defines a fever for that person. The PWT may also be used to provide an indication to recommend medical evaluation for a person. The method includes analyzing a person's body temperature measurements taken over time when the person may be healthy, in order to find the person's average temperature, a standard deviation, a channel defined by an upper and lower temperature bound using the average and standard deviation, such that nearly all body temperatures fall within the channel, and a personal warning temperature similarly defined using the average, and the standard deviation. A personal warning temperature may be used for improved and accelerated awareness of a person's health status.

Abstract: An information-based access control system for facilities. The control system includes a mobile app and securely connected central server, which is cloud-based. The app collects and transmits multiple biometric and other authentication factors and the facility enabling the server to verify identity and check to ensure the person is authorized to obtain access. If so, the server issues a limited duration approved biometric, which can be displayed to the facility guards, compared with a on-site image taken with a biometric sensor at the location, and used to control signal lights and electronic gates to obtain access quickly, conveniently, inexpensively, and securely. Also, a vehicle on the move can acquire access without having to slow down or stop if the biometric sensor can obtain an image inside the vehicle.

Abstract: A group association system attempts to identify if an individual is “gifted” in any particular area. A group association system is based on brainwave response to stimulation is disclosed. The system including a brainwave stimuli device which provides stimuli to groups of highly skilled, general skilled, and a general population groups, as test stimuli for determination of group association. A brainwave collection device collects brainwaves of individuals, with the brainwave collection device storing collected brainwaves in a brainwave database. A brainwave processing device analyzes brainwaves received from the brainwave database. A brainwave analysis device uses analyst screens, artificial intelligence or machine learning to analyze the brainwaves create at least one signature development module for determination of similar brainwaves related to different individuals' responses to the same stimuli.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying individuals that compatibly contribute to high-performing teams is disclosed. Teams may range in size and complexity from a two-person team of roommates to many hundreds in a commercial product development team. Candidates for new or existing teams are identified by matching brainwave response of candidates to the brainwave signature of high-performing, compatible teams. The stimuli of stimulus datasets are rapidly presented to candidates and sensed by any of the five human senses. The signature of a team type is a set of brainwave response characteristics extracted from one or more high-performing, compatible exemplar teams presented with the stimulus dataset and is also distinctly different from other team types or the general population. Closeness of fit between a candidate's brainwave response and the signature of the exemplar team provides an indication of the likely compatible fit and contribution of a candidate to a high-performing team.

Abstract: A system and method of testing, recording, tracking, and verifying the health of an individual to other persons while providing confidence that the individual user has taken and reported to at least one medical measurement, and this measurement has been identified as normal or not normal to the specific individual user, is provided. A medical instrument which is self-administered by the said individual user and a Green Screen Health Verification System (GS-HVS) server are provided. Software that contains prearranged decisions and protocols to provide guidance to said individual user and to an individual user's supervisor and records any abnormal reporting from said individual user and provides alerts based on said protocol. Software returns guidance from said GS-HVS server to said individual user, and upon said GS-HVS indicting that said individual user has good health, software displays a good health status or “Green Screen” on said individual user's said mobile device.

Abstract: The Personal Warning Temperature (PWT) is a method of determining a person's personal warning temperature that defines a fever for that person. The method includes analyzing a person's body temperature measurements taken over time when the person is healthy, in order to find the person's average temperature; standard deviation; a channel defined by an upper and lower temperature bound using the average and standard deviation, and a selected multiplier for the standard deviation, such that nearly all body temperatures fall within the channel; and a personal warning temperature similarly defined using the average, standard deviation, and another selected multiplier for the standard deviation. The method also determines a correction or interpretation of a person's body temperature based on the time of day to account for known variations associated with circadian rhythm. A person can use their personal warning temperature for improved and accelerated awareness of their health status.
