Abstract: This invention describes a method, and an apparatus for identifying and authenticating an Individual Client (IC), or a Secure-Computing-Device online while ensuring the privacy of the IC's personal data, (IPD), and information against identity theft and fraud by using a combination of prior art Blockchain technology, public key cryptography, and a newly created Biometric Digital Certificate issued by an accredited Biometric Certification Authority. The IC's transactions data are dynamically updated, cryptographically signed for integrity and stored in an immutable blockchain each time the IC requests service from a Service Provider and provides an accurate and traceable audit trail. During online access, the IC transactions data stored in the Blockchain Databases are processed by a Data Analytics Authentication Processor to generate the Service-Access-Authentication-Tag, which is an algorithmic score that determines the IC's eligibility to access online services offered by a plurality of Services Providers.

Abstract: This invention describes a system, method and computer-readable medium for authenticating the identity of a client in non-face-to-face transactions. At the core of the invention is the creation and use of live distributed ledger Biometric and Biographical Blockchain Databases, the use of live biometrics and the use of prior art Public Key digital certificate technology. The client data in the Blockchain is dynamically updated and digitally signed each time new live samples are captured. The Blockchains serve as a permanent history of the client's biometric or biographical transactions that can be used to create a completely traceable audit trail.

Abstract: An emergency lighting fixture for mounting in a ceiling and particularly a suspended ceiling, which includes a drop down panel normally closing an opening in the ceiling and an electric lamp concealed behind the panel. If a.c. power should fail, the panel automatically drops down below the level of the ceiling along with the electric lamp and the lamp automatically turns on to illuminate a selected path of egress.

Abstract: An egress detection system includes an indicator unit having at least three electroluminescent lamps in a linear arrangement and circuitry for sequentially illuminating the electroluminescent lamps on a repeated basis in order from one end of the linear arrangement to the other end of the linear arrangement. The indicator unit includes a plastic extruded panel containing a circuit board on which the electroluminescent lamps are mounted, and a lens covering the electroluminescent lamps and bonded to the panel. The panel includes an electrical connector which allows the panel to be removed from the electronic circuitry and replaced. The electronic circuitry is also provided to sequentially illuminate a group of electroluminescent lamps in one direction in response to a first sensed condition of relative danger and in another direction in response to a second sensed condition of relative danger.

Abstract: An emergency light fixture is permanently mountable in a conventional power utlet box having, in fixed relation, a threaded bore for accommodating a screw for a face plate and slots for accommodating an electric plug. The emergency light fixture includes a housing, an electric plug extending from the rear wall of the housing, a battery, a battery charger, and a lamp mounted in the housing and wired to provide illumination during a power outage. The fixture also includes an aperture in the rear wall of the housing for accommodating a screw for permanently attaching the housing to the outlet box. The aperture is in fixed relationship with the electric plug so that the aperture is aligned with the threaded bore in the outlet box when the electric plug is aligned with the slots in the outlet box.
