20130088584 | IRIS CAMERAS - An iris camera for capturing an image of an iris of a user is described. The iris camera comprises: a lens; an image sensor for capturing an image produced by the lens; a processor for analysing the degree of focus of successive images produced by the sensor and for controlling a lens position adjustment motor to move the lens to a position where a subsequent captured image potentially has an increased degree of focus; and a proximity sensor for providing an initial measurement of the distance between the lens and the user. The processor is arranged to user the initial distance measurement obtained by the proximity sensor as a starting point for capturing images of the iris to effect a fine-focus adjustment. | 04-11-2013 |
20130089241 | SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS FOR IRIS RECOGNITION SYSTEMS - A method of verifying the authenticity of an eye provided for identification purposes in an iris recognition identification system is described. The method comprises: illuminating the eye using an illumination source to generate a specular reflection in a pupil and/or iris region of the eye, the specular reflection forming as a result of light emitted from the illumination source being reflected from the eye; capturing an image of the eye including the specular reflection; determining the position of the specular reflection formed in the pupil and/or iris region, from the captured image; and verifying the authenticity of the eye by comparing the determined position with an expected position for an authentic eye. | 04-11-2013 |

20140261219 | TRANSPORT DEVICE HAVING LIQUID RESISTANCE APPARATUS - A transport device structured to carry an animal includes a first component having a handle and a second component having a base and at least a first wall. The first component is structured to be located on the second component to form an enclosed region situated generally between the first and second components. The transport device also includes a cushion apparatus situated adjacent at least one of the base and the at least a first wall and a liquid resistance apparatus located on the second component and that is structured to resist penetration of a liquid from an interior region of the transport device to an exterior region of the transport device. | 09-18-2014 |

20140261203 | Portable Animal Feeder - An animal feeder includes a pair of food containers and a base comprising a pair of base members upon which the pair of food containers are situated. The base members are structured to be movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. In the deployed position, the food containers are situated adjacent one another in a first plane. In the collapsed position, the food containers at least partially overlie one another in a second plane that is transverse to the first plane. The animal feeder also includes a pair of leg elements upon which the base members are situated. The leg elements are structured to be movable between an extended position, in which the leg elements support the base members in the deployed position, and a retracted position. In the retracted position, the base members are in the collapsed position. | 09-18-2014 |
