Patent number: 11356551Abstract: A system for identifying the calling device used to place a call in to an enterprise call center. The system also provides information about the network path through which the call was delivered. The system uses active “pinging” in the audio channel during the first few seconds of the call. The device of the invention sends a special sequence of audio tones from the callee to the caller over the audio channel. The system then records and analyses the resulting incoming audio and compares them with the original tones. The system uses that information to characterize the calling device, and possibly the network path as well. The system checks this information against previously stored information from a known valid caller to aid in verifying the identity of the caller, or to flag the call for further assessment via other methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: SecureLogix CorporationInventor: Waleed S.

Patent number: 8694258Abstract: A series of scans is generated for a subsurface and a derivative image is created using the series of subsurface images. One or more tests are performed on the derivative image, and a subsurface object is detected based on the one or more tests. A sensor is configured to generate a series of scans for a subsurface and a processor is coupled to the sensor. The processor is configured to execute stored program instructions that cause the processor to generate a series of images of the subsurface using the series of scans, create a derivative image using the series of subsurface images, perform one or more tests on the derivative image, and detect a subsurface object based on the one or more tests.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Vermeer Manufacturing CompanyInventor: Waleed S.

Publication number: 20090074256Abstract: This invention encompasses an apparatus and methods which enable the testing of fingerprint readers in an automated fashion. A test object representative of a fingerprint can be created from an electrically conducive silicone material. Due to the properties of this material, the same test object can be read by fingerprint sensors of various types. Once the test object is generated, it can be affixed to an automated apparatus thus allowing tests to be conducted in closed chambers, on an assembly line, or under other conditions that would be impossible or impractical were human fingers to be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2008Publication date: March 19, 2009Applicant: Solidus Networks, Inc.Inventor: Waleed S.

Patent number: 7226415Abstract: The microwave hemorrhagic stroke detector includes a low power pulsed microwave transmitter with a broad-band antenna for producing a directional beam of microwaves, an index of refraction matching cap placed over the patients head, and an array of broad-band microwave receivers with collection antennae. The system of microwave transmitter and receivers are scanned around, and can also be positioned up and down the axis of the patients head. The microwave hemorrhagic stroke detector is a completely non-invasive device designed to detect and localize blood pooling and clots or to measure blood flow within the head or body. The device is based on low power pulsed microwave technology combined with specialized antennas and tomographic methods. The system can be used for rapid, non-invasive detection of blood pooling such as occurs with hemorrhagic stoke in human or animal patients as well as for the detection of hemorrhage within a patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2002Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Waleed S.

Patent number: 6853444Abstract: An optical system for imaging the features, ridges, and height variations of an object by exploiting the properties of specular reflection of light to maximize the contrast of the features, ridges, and height variations. The system provides a non-contact method of imaging objects suitable for biometric identification, such as the imaging of fingerprints. The system obtains the strong specular reflection using a properly shaped wave front. Optionally, the system can include a polarizer that filters and thereby enhances the specular reflection from the surface. Optionally, the system can also include pre-processing means for adjusting image brightness, contrast, and magnification.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Inventor: Waleed S. Haddad

Publication number: 20040228506Abstract: A lid and housing apparatus for containing a non-contact fingerprint imaging system and the methods for their operation. The invention includes combinations of a self-opening, pivoting lid with an aperture for positioning a finger, a trough surrounding the aperture designed to properly orient the finger over the aperture, and tactile features (such as a small bump or ridge) on the surface of the trough that aids the user in positioning the tip of the finger over the aperture. The invention also includes additional combinations of the attachment of a spring-loaded connection device between a cam on the lid and an actuator or enabler in the imaging system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2003Publication date: November 18, 2004Inventors: Waleed S. Haddad, Danny E. Wood, Kevin McAllister, Melvin G. Wieting

Patent number: 6233479Abstract: The Microwave Hematoma Detector is a non-invasive device designed to detect and localize blood pooling and clots near the outer surface of the body. While being geared towards finding sub-dural and epi-dural hematomas, the device can be used to detect blood pooling anywhere near the surface of the body. Modified versions of the device can also detect pneumothorax, organ hemorrhage, atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries, evaluate perfusion (blood flow) at or near the body surface, body tissue damage at or near the surface (especially for burn assessment) and be used in a number of NDE applications. The device is based on low power pulsed microwave technology combined with a specialized antenna, signal processing/recognition algorithms and a disposable cap worn by the patient which will facilitate accurate mapping of the brain and proper function of the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1998Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Waleed S.

Patent number: 5214581Abstract: Apparatus for x-ray microholography of living biological materials. A Fourier transform holographic configuration is described as being most suitable for the 3-dimensional recording of the physical characteristics of biological specimens. The use of a spherical scatterer as a reference and a charge-coupled device two-dimensional detector array placed in the forward direction relative to the incident x-radiation for viewing electromagnetic radiation simultaneously scattered from both the specimen and the reference scatterer permits the ready reconstruction of the details of the specimen from the fringe pattern detected by the charge-coupled device. Both laser and synchrotron radiation sources are feasible for generating microholographs. Operation in the water window (2.4 to 4.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1990Date of Patent: May 25, 1993Inventors: Charles K. Rhodes, Keith Boyer, Johndale C. Solem, Waleed S. Haddad

For example, by using a nickel reference scatter at 4.5 nm, sufficient reference illumination is provided over a wide enough angle to allow similar resolution in both transverse and longitudinal directions.
