Abstract: An ophthalmic laser treatment delivers patterned laser energy to an eye of a patient. A pattern-scanning laser device of the laser treatment system includes a laser module, a scanning module and delivery optics. The laser module generates laser energy (e.g. via a green laser diode), which is directed to the scanning module via a fiber optic cable. The scanning module produces the patterned laser energy by reflecting the laser energy into the delivery optics at different angles via a dielectric MEMS scanning mirror. The delivery optics includes an F-theta lens, a motorized and wirelessly-controlled spot-size selector module, and a focusing lens. A mobile computing device receives parameter information via a graphical user interface or voice control and sends the parameter information to the pattern-scanning laser device. In response to receiving activation signals from an activation unit, the pattern-scanning laser device emits the patterned laser energy based on the parameter information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plate freezer comprising a stack of freezer plates (1), each freezer plate having a first and a second surface (2,3), surrounding a hollow interior through which a coolant may be circulated, where each freezer plate is provided with one or more apertures (10,11), where one or more continuous rods (12,13) is/are inserted through overlapping apertures in the stack of freezer plates, where each rod in a first end is provided with actuator means (20,21), and where engagement members (14) are arranged in communication with one or more rods, where said engagement members may be in a locked position with the rod such that the rod and engagement members move at the same time or an unlocked position where the rod moves relative to the engagement member.

The overall height of a plate freezer having a certain capacity can be reduced, and the time needed for freezing the product is reduced.

Abstract: A method and system use multi-tiered authorization for securing mass transit operations. The purchase rights of a consumer to travel on a medium of mass transit are verified. In some examples this verification can involve: transmitting identity (e.g., print data, facial data, universally unique identifier (UUID) data, or the like) and financial information (e.g., credit or debit card information, or the like) to a predetermined (e.g., third party vendor) party using a wireless transceiver biometric device, comparing the identity and financial data to previously stored data, and transmitting the results of the comparison to a consumer's present location. If verified, a transaction for purchase of travel rights is initiated. Information about the consumer and the travel is transmitted to a predetermined entity (e.g., a governmental entity, a third party vendor, or the like). Traveling rights of the consumer are verified before embarkation on the medium of mass transit.

Abstract: A system and method are used to perform multi-tired authorization to enhance security during transactions. Data (e.g., biometric, print, universally unique identifier (UUID), financial, and/or other types of data) of a first entity (e.g., a consumer or the like) is captured using a wireless transceiver biometric device. The captured data is verified against previously stored data. Results from the verification are transmitted to second and third entities (e.g., insurance and financial entities, government and private entities, first and second government entities, law enforcement and administrative agency entities, or the like pairs). Data (e.g., similar to that discussed above) of a fourth entity (e.g., a retail or wholesale product or service entity) is captured using the same or another wireless transceiver biometric device. The captured data is verified against previously stored data. Results from the verification are sent to the second and third entities (e.g.

Abstract: A system and method are used bi-directional authorization as a security precaution during exchange or transactions of any kind. Identification data (e.g., biometric data, a universally unique identifier (UUID) data, or the like) is authenticated from a first object (e.g., a guardian, a requester, a consumer, a governmental official, a law enforcement official, or the like) and, if verified, then from a second object (e.g., a child, a requestee, a private citizen, a detainee, a product provider, a service provider, or the like). If both sets of identification data are authenticated, then an exchange or transaction for information, people, service, products, or things can take place. In some cases, information about the exchange or transaction is stored locally or remotely to possibly prepare a statistical analysis (e.g., if a law enforcement official is using racial profiling, or the like).

Abstract: Systems and methods are used to “check-in” and monitor individuals from an initial checkpoint of a facility to a final checkpoint of a facility. At the initial checkpoint, the systems and methods authenticate an identity of the individual, generate a biometric representation of the individual as an output, and associate the output to an object associated with the individual. The output can be machine-readable code, which can be encrypted or digitally signed. After this initial process, as the individual and the object associated with the individual travel through the facility, the individual's identity is re-authenticated one or more times either at discrete checkpoints or randomly throughout the facility. The object is also checked against the identity of the individual by using the output associate with the object to ensure the object should be with that individual.
