Abstract: Methods and apparatus for non-invasively verifying human identities using ne ar- infrared spectroscopy. Near-infrared tissue spectra can be obtained by projecting near-infrared radiation into skin on the underside of human forearms and capturing the light reflected back and out through the tissue. The tissue spectrum collected preferably includes primarily diffuse reflecte d light reflected from the inner dermis. Multiple tissue spectra and identitie s can be collected from individuals for whom identity verification may later b e desired. The tissue spectra for each individual can be analyzed on a compute r, and the spectra for each individual clustered or classified together using tools such as linear discriminant analysis. A target individual seeking identity verification can submit both a purported identity and a near-infrar ed tissue spectrum for analysis through near-infrared spectroscopy of the forearm. Similarity between the target spectrum and the multiple spectra for  the purported identity in the spectral database is determined and identify verified or not verified based on the degree of similarity.

Patent CA-2389817-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUSIC TOM
IPC: B64C5/04
Filed: 2002-06-19
Abstract: A missile 1 with a spiral inducing assembly 2 which is capable of inducing the missile to travel in a continuous spiralling motion without the missile rolling. Two fins 3 and 4 are attached to a tube 5 that is able to rotate around the encircled part of the missile fuselage. The fins 3, 4 are able to rotate in a pivoting manner on the rotatable tube 5 with respect to the rotatable tube 5, thereby changing their pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable tube 5. Fin 3 is larger than fin 4. The difference in sizes between the fins makes the larger fin 3 exert a greater force on the rotatable tube 4 than the smaller fin 4 when the fins are pitched in unison. The aerodynamic imbalance between the fins thus causes the rotatable tube 5 to rotate. When pitched at an angle to the longitudinal axis in unison, both fins 3, 4 would exert a lateral force on the rotatable tube 5. Thus, as well as forcing the rotatable tube 5 to rotate, the fins 3, 4 would also push the rotatable tube sideways. But as the rotatable tube is pushed sideways, it rotates, and hence the lateral direction of push constantly revolves, causing a spiralling motion of the missile when in flight.
