Sep 13, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/225724

Inventors:

Richard Durrant - Algonquin IL, US
Mark Waldron - Poplar Grove IL, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

235375000

Abstract:

The device includes a connector, a transponder, a media converter, an antenna, and a transceiver. The transponder is attached to the connector. The antenna is attached to the media converter. The transceiver is electrically connected to the antenna. When the transponder is placed close enough to the antenna, the transceiver is able to activate the transponder thus enabling the transponder to read the information deposited with the transponder.

International Classification:

H04Q 5/22

US Classification:

340010410, 340572100, 340010510, 439488000

Abstract:

The device includes an authorized interrogator, a body, and a transponder attached to the body. The authorized interrogator includes a computer, an input device, an antenna, and a transceiver electrically connected to the antenna so as to form a reader/writer. The input device is used for inputting an authorization level of a user into the authorized interrogator by the user, and the input device is in communication with the computer. The authorized interrogator has preset levels of security corresponding to predefined categories of information. The user's authorization level corresponds to one level of security so that the user can gain access to the corresponding predefined category of information. In a first mode of operation, the transponder accepts information from the authorized interrogator. In a second mode of operation, the transponder delivers information to the authorized interrogator.

Mark Waldron - Poplar Grove IL, US

International Classification:

G02B 6/36

US Classification:

385053000

Abstract:

The fiber optic buildout converter includes a housing, a first fiber optic connector, and a second fiber optic connector. The housing has a first end and a second end. The first fiber optic connector is located near the first end of the housing, and the first fiber optic connector has a first interface style. The second fiber optic connector is located near the second end of the housing, and the second fiber optic connector has a second interface style. The second interface style of the second fiber optic connector is different that the first interface style of the first fiber optic connector. Furthermore, the second fiber optic connector is in optical communication with the first fiber optic connector.
