Title: Mike O. Kennedy and His Imaging Inventions.

Introduction

Mike O. Kennedy is an inventor based in Richland, Washington, whose work includes imaging technologies for analyzing movement and obtaining measurements through clothing. His patent record lists 2 patents, and he is associated with Battelle Memorial Institute.

Latest Patents

Kennedy’s patent, “Imaging Systems and Methods for Obtaining and Using Biometric Information,” describes systems that receive images of a clothed subject over time and derive a motion signature from the subject’s movement. In some implementations, that signature can help identify the subject. The patent also covers imaging systems and computer-executable instructions for carrying out the disclosed imaging, rendering, and analysis methods.

His patent “Interrogation of an Object for Dimensional and Topographical Information” describes using electromagnetic radiation to obtain measurements of body areas partly covered by clothing. It also addresses millimeter-wave and microwave techniques for creating volumetric representations of objects, which can support image display and dimensional analysis.

Career Highlights

Kennedy’s listed inventions focus on applying imaging and electromagnetic sensing to biometric identification, body measurement, and object analysis. These approaches are designed to extract useful information from images and signals without requiring direct access to the measured features.

Collaborations

Kennedy is associated with Battelle Memorial Institute. His listed coworkers include Douglas L. McMakin and David M. Sheen.

Conclusion

Mike O. Kennedy’s patents reflect a body of work centered on imaging and sensing methods that derive biometric, dimensional, and topographical information.
