  • Publication number: 20240050007
    Abstract: Access to a vehicle is controlled based on the presence or amount of one or more analytes in a potential driver. The one or more analytes are detected using a non-invasive analyte sensor. The non-invasive analyte sensor can be included in a steering wheel of the vehicle, a touch point in the vehicle, or a mobile device of the potential driver. The one or more analytes are indicative of an identity and/or a status of the potential driver. The status of the potential driver can include the presence of amounts above a threshold for one or more intoxicants and/or indicators of tiredness or sickness. The access is based on the identity and/or status of the potential driver as indicated by the presence or amount of the one or more analytes.

  • Publication number: 20240054839
    Abstract: One or more analytes are detected non-invasively, and an access level is determined based on the one or more analytes. The one or more analytes indicate at least one of an identity and/or a current status of an individual seeking access, and the access level is based on the identity and/or status of the individual. Access to a location, a device, one or more device functionalities, a vehicle, one or more vehicle functionalities, and the like can be granted based on the access level.

  • Publication number: 20220287596
    Abstract: Establishing an analyte database using analyte data that has been obtained using one or more non-invasive analyte sensors, and using the analyte database to analyze data obtained using a non-invasive analyte sensor. Once the analyte database is established, the analyte database can be updated with new analyte data, and the analyte database can be used to analyze the new analyte data to derive information from the new analyte data. For example, in the case of a human target, the new analyte data together with the analyte database can be used to predict an actual or possible abnormal medical pathology of the human target.

  • Patent number: 11423210
    Abstract: A system and method for dynamically generating, defining and customizing forms and workflows based on a user's input and design, and to facilitate content management through real-time artificial intelligence and machine learning processing across a variety of field-force industries and the like. The system and method can be used on a wide variety of physical devices, including web browsers, mobile devices, smartphones and tablets, and can be embedded in software applications. An example system and method allows for the designing, routing, filling out, and recording of forms to update back-end systems, and dramatically expands the number of users who can design complex, enterprise-grade forms and workflows for complex processes, thus lowering costs and accelerating adoption.

  • Patent number: 8152902
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions that can be used to adsorb low concentration, preferably, for example less than 15 ppm, of unwanted or target substances. Typically the absorbance can be from an enclosed vapor phase. Such absorbency is accomplished in a contained substantially enclosed gaseous volume or atmosphere using a composition comprising a cyclodextrin compound and a polyethylenimine that can have an absorbency capability for low concentrations of unwanted or target substances. Such absorbency can be obtained with thermoplastic materials used in the form of bulk polymer or a film, fiber, web, woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, sheet, packaging and other such structures including or surrounding the enclosed volume. The adsorbent of the invention is typically used in the context of an enclosed volume, also known as an enclosed ambient vapor phase that contains the adsorbent of the invention and the unwanted or target substances at a concentration that is not desirable.

  • Patent number: 8128089
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology provide a method of integrating radio frequency identification (RFID) and near field communication (NFC) to add excitement, features, automation or semi-automation, and digital connectivity to a traditional Bingo or lottery game. Any game of chance may be played using embodiments of the disclosed technology. Balls used for purposes of randomization comprise freely movable RFID tags situated therein. When a ball is chosen, such as when it is the first or only ball to pass through an exit tube of a mixing apparatus, its RFID tag (with data corresponding to indicia on the ball) is read, and appropriate action can be taken, such as to update a video screen accordingly, check Bingos, check lottery winning tickets, and so forth.

  • Publication number: 20080056555
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for performing commercial and other activities using one or more two- or three-dimensional representational images, superimposing a two- or three-dimensional representational image, containing an image of the workpiece in an advanced state of assembly, with a surface or onto the actual workpiece, and utilizing the superimposed representational image to assist in the assembly of the workpiece. One or more two- or three-dimensional representational images are created, e.g., using standard photography, holography or computer imaging, and are placed in a frame integrated within the assembly line of the manufacturing facility. The workpiece is positioned in relation to location of the representational image, such that the representational image may be superimposed onto the workpiece. An assembly operation is then performed using the superimposed representational image as a template.
