  • Method for optical detection of surveillance and sniper personnel
    Patent number: 9995685
    Abstract: A method comprising: providing a device for detecting a biological signature behind a glass surface using non-visible light is provided. A method of emitting one or more pulses of energy at a specific wavelength over a field of illumination towards a target area, filtering out one or more returning wavelengths from the target area, and determining, based on the filtering, if a combination of a fluorescence wavelength and a source wavelength is present, is also provided. An associated system is further provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2018
    Inventors: Jeffrey Michael Smith, Gerald Edwin Bender, Roger D. Whitmer, Patrick T. Toohey

  • Nanodevices, microdevices and sensors on in-vivo structures and method for the same
    Patent number: 7232460
    Abstract: An in-vivo method and apparatus is disclosed that comprises at least one sensor for determining changes in a human's an animal's body and reporting said changes outside the body. The sensor may be embedded in a sheath. The apparatus may be used to monitor chemical or physical changes in the body fluids. Alternatively, the apparatus may be used to monitor and regulate chemical or physical levels in humans and animals.
