U.S. Patents Nos. 6,951,687 and 7,163,744: “Multi-functional product markers and methods for making and using the same”

The two patents describe structure of a polymeric fiber that can be used in a product marker. Such a fiber can store information either by combination of voids and grooves or by areas of optically detectable difference.

• Both of the patented technologies provide a solution to drawbacks present in conventional marking system. Markers developed on the patented technologies will have high information storage capacity, environmental and biological compatibility, sub-millimeter scale binary data encoding capacity, and manipulability. This would make a marker safer, more reliable, easily read, and inexpensive.

• Such markers have range of applications across industries. However, increased focus on human health makes the pharmaceutical and food industries the target application areas. Many nations have enforced regulations governing the mandate of traceability in food products. This would fuel the demand of high-tech but safe and inexpensive markers.

• Based on a combination of the market and technical analysis, it can be said that the successful bidder of the patent portfolio will have an opportunity to gain an advantage in the Product Marking market.

U.S. Patents Nos. 6,567,171: “Digital densitometer with controlled light emitter,” 6,671,052: “Multi-channel densitometer” and 6,791,485: “Digital densitometer using light-to-frequency converter”

This offering is for the assignment of three U.S. Patents related to digital technology applied to densitometers which measures the darkness and color of printed material for use in electro photography.

• The three patents relate to densitometer and more particularly to digital technology applied to densitometers. Each of the patented technology provides a solution to drawbacks present in conventional analog densitometers. The advantages of devices developed based on the patented technologies are reduced costs, compact space requirements and enhanced technology.

• Further, digital color presses typically use Electro Photography (EP) technology and require “in-line” densitometers to maintain consistent high quality printed output. Digital presses efficiently print short runs and variable data, and thus have become more important relative to older printing technology such as offset printing.

• Further, the digital approach for densitometers provides better noise immunity in the electronically noisy environment inside digital presses. Additionally, the patented technology cuts harmful exposure from the densitometer to prevent image artifacts.

• The Electro Photography market is pervasively using densitometers for various applications. Our market research analysis shows that there is a huge market for these patented technologies.

• The analysis also shows that the patented technology has been implemented in the market.

U.S. Patent No. 6,532,459: “System for finding, identifying, tracking, and correcting personal information in diverse databases”

This patent describes a system and method for updating a database.

• The patent relates to identifying, tracking and updating personal information of individuals. The personal information related to an individual and available on various databases in a network is tracked periodically and the individual is authorized to erase or modify the data after proper verification.

• Pervasive usage of the internet has led to increasing e-commerce, social networking and many other applications. As technology brings people closer, individual information is available publicly on the internet without effective protection and verification. This has led to numerous cases of identity theft causing huge economic losses across industries and also mental agony to individuals. Hence, there is a need to maintain proper online representation and protect one’s personal information.

• The patented technology provides a solution to address the increasing menace of identity theft. Systems developed based on the patented technologies will help the users to protect themselves against fraudulent cases of online misrepresentation and, also, negative internet branding.

Our market research analysis shows that there is a huge market for these patented technologies in various application areas such as online reputation management (ORM), identity theft protection and online identity management (OIM). The analysis also shows that versions of the patented technology have been implemented in the market.

U.S. Patent No. 7,224,326: “Virtual reality system”

This patent describes a head-mounted device which can be worn by a user while exercising.

• The user is presented with a 360 degree virtual surrounding. Additional sensors take into account the speed with which the user is pedaling on the stationary bike, rowing on a rowing machine, stepping on a elliptical machine, and also the gaze direction of the user. The view displayed on the head-mounted-device is varied in accordance with the aforementioned two parameters.  In addition the view can be output to a standard TV or CRT device.

• The rise in the “exergaming” market is expected to increase emphasis on innovative products which can capture a user’s imagination while keeping him/ her hooked on to an exercise machine. The advent of products such as Nintendo Wii is expected to give rise to many other players who will compete in this space for a piece of the Billion dollar fitness industry.

• A combination of video games and exercise equipment requires a user to exercise while playing a game in order to advance through levels. Virtual reality is one such technology that is trying to bridge between exercising and gaming.
