International Classification:

H01R 33/00

US Classification:

439 37, 439121

Abstract:

An entirely wearable electrical connector for power/data connectivity. The principal element of a modular network is the wearable electrical connector, which is integrated into a personal area network with USB compatibility. Several wearable connector embodiments are disclosed. The first, an O-ring based version, was subsequently replaced by a more mature second version, which is based on anisotropic pressure sensitive conductive elastomer. Both are snap-style, low-profile, 360-moving, round, blind operable plug-and-play, reconfigurable wearable connectors with power/data daisy-lattice-style connectivity. A third embodiment comprises a non-conductive elastomeric environmental seal. A fourth embodiment utilizes a self-acting, automatic shutter-type environmental seal. A fifth embodiment comprises a smaller version that resembles a conventional snap fastener commonly used on clothing. The inventive technology will benefit the military and public safety personnel such as police, fire, EMT and other services that require special protective clothing integrated with multiple electronic devices.

International Classification:

H01R 33/945

US Classification:

43962004, 43962022, 3405456

Abstract:

A carton-centric security system that uniquely combines a low-cost version of the rugged connector technology and a novel smart skin is provided. The carton-centric security system includes RF electronics for communication. The system can fully meet the homeland security need to autonomously seal, secure, and monitor the integrity of shipping cartons/parcels below the ISO intermodal shipping container level. The system can seal the contents of a shipping carton within a “smart skin/wrapper,” which physically surrounds the contents, monitors the physical integrity of the shipping carton and detects any intrusion into the carton. In case of an intrusion, the system provides notification of the intrusion of the carton or tampering with the carton security system, including alteration of the carton contents, theft or unauthorized removal of the entire carton.

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345647000

Abstract:

A novel, easy to use, and computational efficient rubber sheeting algorithm is designed for interactive image registration in a web-based application environment. The algorithm has two steps, including a piece-wise linear interpolation step to interactively find a suitable set of control points and displacement vectors, and a following optional global radial basis wrap step to generate smoother result using the final control point set. A dynamic Delaunay triangulation method is designed to efficiently update the decomposition of the image. Natural and intuitive wrapping result will be dynamically generated in real-time while the user interactively insert, delete or drag a control point. The number of control points is not limited, and a large number of control points can be used if necessary without compromising the performance of the algorithm. With enough control points specified using the piece-wise rubber-sheeting step, the wrapping result can be further smoothed by using the optional, click-button poly-quadric global wrapping method in the second step. The algorithm is implemented as a Java Applet and able to run as a cross-platform web-based application.
