Falling costs of imaging technologies, processing, data storage, and networking have led to an explosion in the use of facial recognition technologies previously used almost exclusively by governments at border checkpoints and around other high value and sensitive locations. Increasingly, private companies are using these technologies, usually paired with other technologies and data for commercial purposes. This widespread and growing use of facial recognition has profound implications for personal privacy. While government use of facial recognition technology is generally unrestricted in public places and commercial use is largely unregulated, more stringent controls are likely to be imposed upon uses of facial recognition. The disclosure provides a multifaceted method of administering a system whereby individuals can request or demand (depending on the legal framework) to opt out of facial recognition collection, processing, correlation, storage, and dissemination.

In one embodiment the present invention provides a coated substrate comprising a substrate, a radiation-cured coating or a thermally-cured on at least a portion of the substrate, wherein the coating comprises an inherent macroscopic texture. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a pre-cured coating mixture comprising a radiation-curable resin and an initiator, or a thermally-curable resin and thermal initiator, wherein the radiation- or thermally-curable resin and the respective initiator form a pre-cured coating mixture capable of forming a macroscopic texture upon application of the mixture on a substrate. In another embodiment the present invention provides a pre-cured coating mixture comprising a radiation- or thermally-curable resin, an initiator, and texture-producing particles having an effective size to provide a macroscopic texture upon application of the mixture on a substrate. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a coated substrate comprising a substrate and a radiation- or thermally-cured coating on at least a portion of the substrate, wherein the coating comprises an inherent macroscopic texture. In addition, the present invention provides a process for making a coating on a substrate, comprising the steps of distributing a pre-cured coating mixture comprising a radiation-curable resin and an initiator or a thermally-curable resin and thermal initiator over at least a portion of a substrate to form a pre-cured coating having a macroscopic texture, and radiation-curing or thermally curing, respectively, the pre-cured coating to form a radiation-cured or thermally-cured coating having the macroscopic texture.
摘要:
Laws, regulations, and self-regulatory processes are beginning to restrict how online advertisers and others interact with users. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) restricts the interaction of online businesses with children under thirteen.Revised regulations implementing this statute will restrict behavioral advertising by businesses directed to children and by other business if they have actual knowledge they are dealing with a child under thirteen. The current system of ad placement online relies on a real-time, distributed market where participants usually interact at arms-length through intermediaries (usually online advertising networks) in placing ads. There is currently no process by which COPPA regulations or possible future regulatory or self-regulatory frameworks can be imposed on this system requiring abandonment of the system or processes which can work consistent with the system when used on a mobile or personal device. The disclosure provides a method by which the current system can be retained with minor modification by creating, populating, maintaining, and making available in near real time an opt-out registry that links unique persistent identifiers for mobile and personal devices to restrictions, preferences, and permissions related to such devices. The disclosure also described the integrated and complementary technology that needs to be deployed to support the method.
摘要:
This disclosure allows greater privacy for mobile device users while maintaining functionality through a process of signature-hopping. Mobile devices have persistent identifiers or signatures which are used in providing device functionality (routing calls to the correct number, returning web queries to the originating device, and connection continuity in local area networks such as WiFi®. These persistent identifiers or signatures can also be collected by unintended recipients or used by intended recipients to correlate, track, or otherwise discover information about the user of the device in extremely intrusive ways. Regularly changing these signatures can mitigate privacy problems for mobile device users, and the disclosure here shows how functionality may be maintained through these changes.
摘要:
A blood flow monitor with a visual display. The monitor may include a probe monitoring circuit configured to be associated with a blood vessel. The probe monitoring circuit may transmit a burst signal and receive a reflected signal, where a frequency shift in the reflected signal represents a flow rate associated with the blood vessel. A mixer may be provided in electrical communication with the probe. A signal processing circuit in electrical communication with the output of the mixer may be configured to drive the visual display with a signal representing the flow rate associated with the blood vessel.

A bow press for securing an archery bow having limbs. The bow press has a main frame to support other components of the bow press. The main frame includes a main frame cross member, an adjustment mechanism mounted to the main frame, a bow limb flexing assembly mounted to the main frame cross member adapted for receiving the archery bow, and a limb inside contact assembly adapted to secure the archer bow against the bow limb flexing assembly and mounted to the adjustment mechanism, whereby the limb inside contact assembly can be moved to due to actuation of the adjustment mechanism.
摘要:
A drainage pipe for use in a basement waterproofing system includes an interior cleaning device that includes a plurality of openings to allow fluid, such as air or water, to be forced out of the pipe and clean debris within the drainage pipe. The drainage pipe also includes an exterior cleaning device that includes a spray nozzle affixed to an exterior surface of the drainage pipe. The exterior spray nozzle allows fluid and debris to be removed from areas outside the pipe.
