1. Remotely Directed Vehicle Inspection System Protagoras Cutchis, Inventor

2. Technology • The remotely directed vehicle inspection system consists of a camera & illumination along with a speaker/microphone at the vehicle site and an LCD display with controls at the remote site • The system can be made either hardwired or wireless for up to 1000’s of feet if needed.

3. Prototype of Vehicle Portion of System

4. Prototype of Vehicle Portion of System White illumination LEDs Color Video Camera

5. Prototype of Vehicle Portion of System Speaker Microphone

6. Prototype of Remote Portion of System

7. Technology (continued) • Additionally, physiological sensors such as pulse oximetry or GSR (galvanic skin response) could be included to assess the nervousness of the driver/occupant • Sniffers for explosives or contraband (drugs) could also be integrated

8. Technology Applications • The remote inspection system can be used in conflict zones such as Iraq at checkpoints for IED vehicle inspections • The system could be use domestically at high value facilities (nuclear power plants, oil refineries, etc.) • Other uses include higher resolution systems for produce or livestock inspection by USDA for imported goods which may have pests
