  • Patent number: 12276494
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of replicating or copying keys. More specifically, the present invention relates to creating a copy of a master key based on a captured image of the master key by using a laser scanning of the master key and decoding the master key based on the captured image. The present invention identifies a set of target key information based on the image of the master key to provide for the cutting of a duplicate key blade copy using a key scanning and cutting system located at a retail or end location. Additional key information may also be captured along with the image of the master key.

  • Publication number: 20240420529
    Abstract: A kiosk-based system provides enhanced processes for replicating or copying keys including automotive keys and including transponder keys requiring programming. A set of user interfaces guides users through master key identifying, key blank selecting, master key scanning and duplicate key cutting processes as well as programming programmable keys. The invention provides a Quick Reference redundancy to add an additional layer of accuracy to avoid errors in selecting key blanks and in cutting selected key blanks. The system creates a copy or duplicate of a master key based on a captured image of the master key and stored key data.

  • Patent number: 11965216
    Abstract: Provided herein are media, methods, kits, primers and oligonucleotide probes for use in the molecular detection of pathogens. These may be used in combination for the rapid, high-throughput screening PCR-based techniques to simultaneously detect multiple pathogens. The multiplex-detection methods have improved sensitivity and specificity for the detection of multiple pathogens simultaneously. Real-time PCR assaying techniques using such primers include microarrays and multiplex arrays, the latter optionally simultaneously with oligonucleotide TaqMan probes.
