Assignee:

Auto-Sense LLC - Denver CO

International Classification:

B60Q 100

US Classification:

340435, 340436, 340903, 340904, 340933, 340942, 340943, 340552, 340556, 342 70

Abstract:

Collision avoidance apparatus ( ) is mounted on a host vehicle ( ) to detect the presence of an adjacent vehicle ( ) within a monitored zone ( ). A sensor module ( ) includes a plurality of discrete sensor systems for monitoring unique portions of the monitored zone ( ), each of which comprises an emitter ( ) emitting a fixed frequency modulated beam ( ) of light energy ( ) with a predetermined burst length into its unique portion of the monitored zone ( ), and a receiver ( ) having a field of view ( ), substantially aligned with emitted beam ( ) to produce a fixed optical overlap area (A), and for sensing light energy ( ) and generating a received signal. A frequency generator ( ) produces two or more predetermined different fixed frequencies for use by the emitter ( ) to emit beams ( ) at each frequency. A phase shifter ( ) produces a phase shifted reference signal with a different predetermined phase delay relationship to each fixed frequency. A mixer ( ) mixes each received signal and each phase shifted reference signal to produce demodulation signals from for each frequency.

International Classification:

G06P 1760

US Classification:

705 26, 705 5, 705 15, 705 27, 705 44, 702127, 358442

Abstract:

A system and method for enabling patrons at large-scale spectator events at confined venues having identifiable seats utilizes conventional or special hand-held, wireless communication devices to self-order food, drink and souvenir items from remote order fulfillment locations within the venue for delivery to identified seats. Hierarchical menus are provided for display of items for purchase on the devices. A seat identification code is associated with the order when transmitted via the existing telecommunications and Internet infrastructure. Receipt of the order is acknowledged, and a confirmation code is sent upon receipt of order delivery. There is automatic electronic payment for the order charged to a patron account that is established by prearranged means.

Scott Juds - Seattle WA

Assignee:

IDX, Inc. - El Dorado AK

International Classification:

G06K 500

US Classification:

235382, 2353825, 235375

Abstract:

An electronic security key is particularly adapted to exchange electronic data with an electronic coin acceptor circuit of a coin acceptor to enable the coin acceptor for coin programming. The electronic security key includes an electronic security key circuit defined by subcircuits including (1) circuitry for exchanging electronic data with an electronic coin acceptor, (2) encryption generating circuitry for generating encrypted password data at a sufficient value to generate authentication data from at least a portion of the electronic data transmitted to the electronic security key circuit, and (3) circuitry for transmitting the generated authentication data to an electronic coin acceptor circuit to thereby enable the electronic coin acceptor circuit for coin programming thereof.

Assignee:

I3E Holdings, LLC - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705 26, 705 15

Abstract:

A system and method for enabling patrons at large venues, such as spectator venues, convention halls, or airports, which have identifiable delivery locations, to utilize hand-held, wireless communication devices to self-order food, drink, souvenir items or services from remote order fulfillment locations within the venue for delivery to the identified delivery locations. Verification of available service level is provided. Hierarchical menus can be provided for visual display or audible presentation of items or services for purchase on the devices, or for presenting other information. A delivery location identification code is provided with the order, which is acknowledged. Automatic electronic payment for the order occurs by prearranged means.

US Patent:

Filed:

Aug 2, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/902928

Inventors:

Scott Juds - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

IDX, Inc. - ElDorado AK

International Classification:

G06K 7/10

US Classification:

235468, 23546201, 23546245, 23547201

Abstract:

A security mark having multiple optically orthogonal coaligned bar codes is produced using a reflection hologram visible substantially at only a first wavelength that is layered over a wavelength sensitive filter, which blocks light transmission at the first wavelength but transmits light at a second wavelength, and having beneath it an additional bar code visible through the hologram and the wavelength sensitive filter at the second wavelength. A validation means reads multiple holographic bar codes with light at the first wavelength by illuminating the hologram separately from multiple directions, and further reads the bar code beneath the wavelength sensitive filter by illuminating the mark with light of the second wavelength. By suitable choice of multi-directional and multi-wavelength illumination, multiple coaligned bar codes may be read in the same physical location with no mutual interference.

US Classification:

700238, 700232, 700237

Abstract:

A vending machine having promotional features, wherein a secured token is associated with a subset of all the items that can be vended, and validation of the token limits the items offered to the patron for his selection to only that subset of items. A first vending machine promotes a new product by the manufacturer of the new product distributing secure promotional tokens good for a free vend or a discount on the price of the new product. In a second vending machine, products from multiple manufacturers are separately promoted using distinct secure promotional tokens for each brand. In a third vending machine providing a plurality of time-metered services, a secure promotional token provides only a limited economy subset of services for the patron's selection from among the plurality of services.
