Patent number: 9836648Abstract: An iris biometric recognition module includes technology for capturing images of an iris of an eye of a person, whether the person is moving or stationary, and whether the person is located near the iris image capture device or at a distance from the iris image capture device. The iris biometric recognition technology can perform an iris matching procedure for, e.g., authentication or identity verification purposes. The iris biometric recognition module can be incorporated into, for example, a door lock assembly and other access controlled devices, mechanisms, and systems.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Princeton Identity, Inc.Inventors: Steven N.

Patent number: 7987977Abstract: A hearing aid is enclosed in a gas-impermeable or substantially gas-impermeable package to prevent inadvertent activation of the hearing aid during transport. The package may include a housing having a groove that substantially conforms to at least a portion of the shape of the hearing aid to snugly hold the hearing aid. The groove may be substantially open adjacent a switch on the hearing aid. A securing member, such as a strap, may be used to immobilize the switch relative to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Sarnoff CorporationInventors: Marvin A. Leedom, John G. Aceti, Walter P. Sjursen, Derek D. Mahoney, John M. Margicin, Michael H. Tardugno, Robert R. Demers, John E. Oltman, Robert C. Maxwell, Frederick J. Fritz

Publication number: 20100217155Abstract: A device operable to extract a sample of body fluid, the device including at least one skin-penetration member, an actuator, a controller, and a housing mounting the at least one skin-penetration member for extension from the device. Another device for extracting body fluid includes at least one skin-penetration member having an inner bore and an outer diameter, and at least one axially moveable hollow tubular member disposed in the inner bore. Yet another device includes at least one skin-penetration member, an actuator, a controller, a housing mounting the at least one skin-penetration member, and a skin sensor measuring electrical parameters transmitted through the at least one skin-penetration member. Associated methods are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2010Publication date: August 26, 2010Applicant: INTUITY MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Christopher J. Poux, Gary D.

Patent number: 7403629Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular hearing aid having a base unit and a detachable earmold. A battery, an earmold tip and a receiver can be integrated with the earmold. The earmold can also include a removably attached module. The module can have a shell, electronics, a receiver or a microphone. A hearing aid also includes a flexible hearing aid tip having a vibration isolator portion and a mushroom shaped tip portion. The vibration isolator portion mechanically decouples a receiver from a hearing aid base unit while the mushroom shaped tip portion provides an acoustic seal in the ear canal of a user. The internal components of a hearing aid can be potted to attenuate vibrations created by the receiver during operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2000Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Sarnoff CorporationInventors: John G. Aceti, Marvin A. Leedom, Frederick Fritz, Derek D. Mahoney, John M. Margicin, Walter P. Sjursen, Michael H. Tardugno, David A. Preves

Patent number: 7221768Abstract: A disposable-type hearing aid uses a relatively large single diaphragm or a large single diaphragm subdivided into a plurality of smaller active diaphragm areas obtained using a grate-like back support plate with ridges which contact and divide the diaphragm into the several smaller active diaphragm areas. The diaphragm and a backplate are enclosed in a metal housing and are disposed proximal and parallel to a shell-like hearing aid enclosure having sound inlets. The metal housing is closed at an end opposite the sound inlets by a printed circuit board (PCB) forming an acoustical seal for a back volume of the microphone. The PCB also carries substantially all the electronic components for the hearing aid thereon. The PCB has a ground plane in contact with the housing whereby the PCB also acts as an EMI shield. An electrical connection is formed in various ways between the back support plate and the PCB during assembly of the metal housing and components with the PCB.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2006Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Sarnoff CorporationInventors: Walter P. Sjursen, Marvin A. Leedom, Derek D. Mahoney, John M. Margicin, Frederick J. Fritz, John G. Aceti, David A. Preves, Ponnusamy Palanisamy

Patent number: 7113611Abstract: A hearing aid includes a first half shell and a second shell attached to the first shell. A microphone, battery, electronics, a receiver and a flexible tip are mounted within a housing formed by the first half shell and the second half shell. A mechanical securing mechanism, located on the first half shell and the second half shell, attaches the first half shell to the second half shell. A flexible tip for a hearing aid includes a tip portion, a sound port attached to the tip portion and a vent formed in the flexible tip. The vent provides static pressure equilibrium between an ear canal and an ambient pressure.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2001Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Sarnoff CorporationInventors: Marvin A. Leedom, Derek D. Mahoney, John M. Margicin, Sam Meytus, Reuben Zielinski, Frederick Fritz, Michael H. Tardugno, Walter P. Sjursen, David A. Preves

Patent number: 7082206Abstract: A flexible tip for a hearing aid includes a mushroom shaped tip, an inner portion having a bore and a receiver mounted within the bore. The receiver can be housing and sealed within a receiver housing. The receiver housing can include a spring having a high compliance along a longitudinal axis and transverse axis, to provide flexibility in the flexible tip. The spring can also having a high stiffness along a radial direction about the circumference of the spring to provide support of the flexible tip from radially directed loads.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2001Date of Patent: July 25, 2006Assignee: Sarnoff CorporationInventors: Derek D. Mahoney, John M. Margicin, Frederick J. Fritz, Walter P. Sjursen
