US Patent:

7441123, Oct 21, 2008

Filed:

Mar 23, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/815885

Inventors:

J. Spencer Grant - Cedar City UT, US
Rick V. Murakami - Nroth Ogden UT, US
Clark Hinton - Glendale AZ, US
Matthew W. Pettit - Mountain Green UT, US

Assignee:

Ensign Holdings - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

713186, 382115, 600508

Abstract:

A plurality of electronic signals corresponding to a histological and/or physiological marker, such as a heartbeat, are obtained, from an individual and are converted into electronic signal form. The signals are measured to obtain an actual measurement of a plurality of variable features of the electronic signals relating to the heartbeats. The measurements are mathematically analyzed to provide the probability of divergence of each actual measurement. Using the calculated probability of divergence, subsequent received waveforms measurements are analyzed for authentication purposes.

International Classification:

H04L 9/00
G06F 7/04
G06K 9/00

US Classification:

713186, 726 5, 726 18, 726 19, 382115, 382116, 382117, 382118

Abstract:

A portable biometric authentication system having a single technology for measuring multiple, varied biological traits to provide individual authentication based on a combination of biological traits. At least one of these biometric traits is a live physiological trait, such as a heartbeat waveform, that is substantially-but not necessarily completely-unique to the population of individuals. Preferably, at least one of the identifying aspects of the biological traits is derived from a measurement taken by reflecting light off of the subdermal layers of skin tissue.

International Classification:

G06F 9/30

US Classification:

712201

Abstract:

A power-efficient, distributed reconfigurable computing system and method are provided. A reconfigurable computing system may include an embedded controller for performing real-time control and initialization and circuitry that supports data-flow driven execution of processing phases. The circuitry may include processing elements such as RAM-based field programmable gate array devices and direct memory access engines. The processing elements can be configured for one or more functions or operations of a program and then reconfigured for other functions or operations of the program. The processing elements can be configured or reconfigured to construct a desired sequence of operations in real-time. A processing element may be divided into slots, each of which includes a substantially similar amount of resources. A processing element includes one or more wrappers, and a wrapper may occupy a slot or a group of slots.

Inventors:

Rick Murakami - North Ogden UT, US
Clark Hinton - Glendale AZ, US
Matthew Pettit - Mountain Green UT, US

International Classification:

H04K001/00

US Classification:

713/186000

Abstract:

The present invention is directed toward a method for calibrating a biometric authentication device over time. The method of the present invention involves obtaining an authenticating biometric value from a biometric measurement. The biometric value is then weighted and integrated into the authentication data set or template.
