Emerging Products Overview

As a result of over 40 technologies and 92 US issued patents, POC has developed a rich and expansive portfolio of products and technologies. Our complete package of technology is in various stages of completion. Some are still in R & D, others can be demonstrated in the laboratory, and some are ready for commercial development. This Emerging Products section will identify and communicate technologies that are emerging through POC, which are ready for commercial implementation. As POC grows and additional developments occur, this list will certainly grow.

At this stage, POC is looking for enabling companies to work with on an OEM level, for commercial implementation of the technology. This might include product purchases, licensing agreement, company alliances, joint venture or spin-off company activity. These “commercial ready” technologies are described below.

OptiKey® - Optical Authentication

OptiKey® is a unique optical signature recognition system for authenticity verification. With the OptiKey system labels, identification cards, and documents are impossible to counterfeit, copy, or duplicate. This system consists of a mass producible optical mask (ID Label) and a matched optical reference mask located in the optoelectronic reader / correlator. The optical ID label is a randomly recorded optical surface structure, which is placed on labels / cards and documents. For secure validation, the optical surface structure of the ID label must match the optical reference mask in the correlator. The optical match is achieved with a joint Fourier transform which also ensures quick and easy alignment.

IHC™ - Intelligent Hypercompression
Object Oriented Video Compression Technology

IHC™ Intelligent Hypercompression is an object oriented wavelet based system for security / surveillance applications. The unique object selection and extraction offers high resolution viewing while conserving bandwidth. High quality images can be viewed with higher data rates and lower frame rates than the background. IHC is a programmable compression hardware and software solution, allowing the user to select the object or background with variable operating parameters, such as compression ratio, frame rate, and data rate. As compared to frame based systems such as MPEG or fractal, IHC™ captures a high-resolution image quality of the object(s) at low bandwidth (phone line).

Availability – POC is seeking OEM applications and Licensing opportunities. In-house demonstrations are available.

3-D Real Time Video Display

True real-time 3-D video/images can now be seen with the naked eye. POC’s unique autostereoscopic display requires no goggles or special glasses to view 3-D images. Proprietary HDS™ Holographic Display Screen combines 2-D projected images into 3-D viewing zones by combining left (L) and right (R) stereo images. POC’s 3-D system will accept 3-D recorded images, video, games or graphics and will display them for 3-D viewing. The special POC software interface is compatible with standard 3-D graphic and design software, and enables the storage and retrieval of 3-D images.

Availability – POC is seeking OEM opportunities. In-house demonstrations are available.

FAERITO® Flight Data Recorder
Complete Digital Video/Audio/Data Flight Recorder

POC’s FAERITO® Data Centric Recorder provides a complete turnkey solution for synchronous digital recording of multi-channel Video/Audio/Data (VAD). DCR is an “All in One” crash survivable package with removable memory. Video compression technology is based on proprietary Wavelet transform which reduces bandwidth by two orders of magnitude, while preserving video quality. DCR can record 2 hours of VAD per channel.

Availability – POC is seeking OEM opportunities. In-house demonstrations are available.

OmniView - 360°
360° Video Monitoring System

OmniView provides real-time 360° panoramic video monitoring. The OmniView system consists of a Fisheye Lens (FEL), video camera, firewire, and OmniView (unwrapping) software. While using only a single camera, and FEL lens, the OmniView software unwraps the real-time video image into a seamless distortion free horizontal viewing zone. This system is compatible with PC based systems (PC not included).

Availability - In-house demonstrations are available and prototype orders accepted.

WPIC™ - Wireless Personal
Information Carrier

WPIC is a Wireless Personal Information Carrier technolgoy that gives medical personnel instantaneous access and accurate patient medical records without any physical contact. Extending this technology to the general population will simplify record keeping, medical examinations and provides immediate and secure access to medical data in emergencies or normal healthcare use by prioritizing electronic patient records. WPIC feature ( 1-4GB of memory, highspeed wireless communication (i.e. 802.11/ 802.15.x), and utilizes FIPS 140-2 certified encryption to assure data security.

Availability - Seeking OEM applications. In-house demonstrations are available.



WEARNET™ - Wearable Personal
Area Network

WEARNET is a wearable personal area network consisting of a Snapnet™ wire/fabric interconnect and vest. The vest system includes Snapnet connectors, video (VGA) camera, USB connectors, GPS and SISC tracking, PDA/PC with a battery and pouch system.

Availability - Seeking OEM applications. Contact POC with your requirements, in-house demonstrations are available.
