Terrorist attacks have been on everyone’s mind since September, and concern has changed attitudes and priorities regarding security.

Sigilo Priority Shifts

• High degree of paranoia regarding

personal safety - everyone thinks

they could be a target

• Fear is forcing people to think and

spend more on security

• Security concerns while traveling,

away, in public, at home and in

office are driving many behaviors

• Feelings of helplessness

• Desire to ‘take matters into their

own hands’, cannot necessarily

depend on law enforcement to

prevent attacks

• There are valid concerns, but with

many times the paranoia added

Though there are debates on long-term impacts, there have been real, significant perception, behavioral and consumer expenditure changes.


Since September 2001, there has been substantial increase in the demand for security and safety, for both personal and businesses.

Sigilo Quantitative Impacts

These recent changes all point towards renewed interest in this area, which will be followed by investment and technological advances.

1 Invasion of property

Entering perimeter of home, office, other site or car (includes trespassing, desire to review private documents, casing)

2 Damage to property

Vandalism of property, initial facilitation of a burglary or testing of defenses/ disabling protection (phone/lock/alarm)

3 Theft/Removal of Property

Removal or disturbance of belongings at home, office, hotel room, in public or car.

Existing security systems leave many areas for improvement in future developments, which also opens up opportunities for new technology.

Sigilo Weaknesses of Existing Systems

• Expensive to install, maintain and contract a service

• Needs for installation and modification to home

• Usually requires Monthly Fee from a local security company to monitor it

• Centralized control from ‘location’ (pad, center) inside residence

• Dependant on local power or telephone

• Maintenance, need service

• Lack portability, once installed, remain on premise regardless of owner

• Bulkiness

• False alarms - some wake entire neighborhood

• Intrusion perimeter and motion focused

• Permits from local police required in many cities and towns

• Focused on scaring, not identifying threat type and location

• Radio equipment can monitor, sometimes disturb, response and signals

• Most do not have a way to alert you while away from home or not near car

Every year people think of ways to eliminate some of these, and technology continues to push down the overall costs.


In technology, people are normally looking forward, not backwards; their objectives are making ‘breakthroughs’ and attracting attention.

Sigilo Focus of Technology Efforts

• Applying the new to the old, not solving the problem considering the new

• Specific objectives are usually for better, faster and cheaper, and focus is on existing products or an obvious/predictable next generation

• Desire to find the ‘new-new thing’, look over the ‘simple & obvious’

• Applying to low-tech has more or less been ignored - it’s boring

• Many recent efforts were ‘what we can do to get into the internet boom.’

• Currently ‘paper electronics’ is being focused on cell phones, PDAs, and computers - not new devices, just cheaper & smaller versions of the old

A recent development is paper electronics - laying circuits on a mylar-like material. It is low cost, flexible, easily packaged and disposable.

We have a new idea - not technically exciting, but immense with respect to its marketability, applications and profit potential.


Taking a new ‘disposable’ cellular phone, we first eliminate all user interfaces - reducing cost, size, shape restrictions, rigidity, & weight.

Sigilo Eliminate Components (all user interfaces and support)

Not Required

User Interfaces

• Speaker

• Speaker port

• Microphone

• Dialing pad

• Other ‘buttons’

Support/Other Components

• Dialing support mechanism

• Voice processing & support

• Other ‘buttons’ support

• Battery to support voice traffic

We are left with a product which can send signals but has no way to dial/select a number, no message to transmit, no input device, nothing to display/receive a message and no power source; but…….

Patents 6,144,847, 5,965,848, 5,875,393 and others.


….it is very inexpensive, light, flexible and much smaller. Now we add some components to create what we will call, the ‘Relay Device’.

Sigilo Adding Components

• Smaller & more flexible

• Volume of close to or less than that of 2 credit cards

• Negligible weight added

• Many shapes permissible

• Input/trigger port for signal

• Preprogrammed number and message/code are added

• Balanced power-weight-cost

• Cost close to $1 each

To Be Added

• Input port for a connector

• Small memory storage

• Indicator for operational status

• Phone number & code(s) (S/N) need to be

pre-programmed into a small memory

• Power Indicator confirming power available

• Long lasting small disposable battery

Optional features listed below

• Security or lock for activation

• On/Off indicator

• Cleat to wind connectors

• Extendable antenna (wire)

• Attachments to other surfaces

Now we have pre-programmed a number & message, an input port and the right power source - but still no trigger to make a call!

+ The Results


Sensors exist to detect and measure just about every stimulus imaginable, and their applications extend beyond security/safety.

Sigilo Sensors

They vary in complexity, size, cost and sophistication. Many of them are based on very simple electro-mechanical devices.

Chemical Presence (Poisons, Explosives) Electric Power (loss, surge, usage)

Fluid Levels Flow Levels or Speeds

Fractures & Gap Propagation Gas Concentrations (C0, C02..)

Intrusion Light Levels

Metal Presence Movement & Proximity

Noise Sensor & Acoustics pH Levels

Pressure (pads, vessels, pipes) Radiation

Shock (shock waves) Smoke or Air Purity

Temperature (heat, freeze, changes, readings) Trip Wires Vibration Weather


Sensors can be complex, but for many security needs they are simple devices to permit or impede electric circuits - indicating a stimulus.

Sigilo Simple Sensor Examples & How They Work

Using these types of concepts, we can create a simple input device for our input port. This provides the trigger to send the outbound call.

Pressure This type of sensor operates by having a circuit

which is Normally Open with two opposing pads

position to close it. A given ‘pressure’ stimulus

pushes down the ‘ends’ and permits a current,

which can then activate a signal.*

Vibration A Normally Closed (‘NC’) circuit is created with two

metal planes and a sphere in a ‘V’ shape. If there

is a vibration disturbance, the sphere rises and

breaks contact with either of the two planes and the

circuit is broken, thus detecting the vibration.

Lights Sensors This type of sensor operate by having a circuit

which is Normally Open. A Light sensitive device

passes a signal if it receives a stimulus of sufficient

magnitude. The signal could permit or impede a

circuit, or convert the light into energy and act as

the signal itself.

Intrusion & Trip Wire This Normally Open (‘NO’) circuit has a feature

which completes the circuit when an element is

‘pulled’ (could be Normally Closed also). There are

many ways to apply the same basic principal, and

below is an example where the circuit is not

completed until the small part is ‘pulled’ through.

Current

Vibration

* Another option - single wire and a piezoelectric which would send a small charge after pressure was applied.


Now we have a trigger, from a Sensor to detect a desired stimulus, and the outbound call - the last and key component is the Control System

User Input


To better clarify our proposal, we will answer some additional issues that we believe may not have been adequately explained.

Sigilo Additional Information

Question Explanation

What are the sensors and the connectors going to look like?

Our intent is to have universal standard sensor connections, with small, inexpensive, consumable sensors whose cost is to be minimal.

How will one arm or disarm these? There can be a manual switch on the Relay Device, and we also envision a remote control type device which uses the Control System to turn them on and off, and which also can be used to group into ‘arrays’.

How will a user input his information or create an ‘array’ of these devices?

Product to have serial number and activation codes, permit user to call in response information, enter on internet or mail in. Can create and manage his arrays and allocate remotes to them as he sees fit.

How can you stop intruders if not always using a security company?

Expect for home use one of the responses is to call the house phone to scare intruders, as well as contacting neighbors. Security companies will be an option, but not the only option (already introduced by others).

How can these devices be used in unison to best prevent burglaries?

User can create a logic structure that changes his response (example: if exterior alarm is tripped, then interior, contact security company. If only exterior is tripped, alert user then wait an hour and watch for others)

Why is lower cost so important - more expensive usually means superior?

Devices can be deployed, activated, used, deactivated and abandoned (low cost makes this viable option if chosen). Consumable & portable.

How will they be sold? We imagine a number of versions, some with pre-paid alerts, others where you will register to Control System and be charged if used. The goal is to move away from monthly security service payments - pay/use.

What if I want to call the Police? Control System serves as a buffer between user and police, patent covers the ‘direct to police’ alert option, but onus is left on user to decide to call. You can monitor and call if you like, but not automatic.

How will Sigilo reduce ‘False Alarms’?

You could still request to be contacted or have option to cancel if there is a False Alarm, and could also have any type of response requested or have Control System’s managers take appropriate action as needed.


This is Sigilo, which over time will get both smaller & less expensive. It will enable protection of almost anything, anywhere for a few dollars.

Remote Control for individual or an array of Relay Devices can be used to control all of the units deployed at a single site and that can be activated or deactivated with a single touch of a button.

* Note: Estimate of $1 cost was extrapolated from public statements and material costs given expected production quantities.


The Relay Devices will be made into different shapes depending on the application and needs for concealment by the users. Some examples:

Sigilo Device Shape - Multiple Options for Multiple Applications

Very flat will permit them to be hidden underneath rugs, mats, beneath TVs/VCRs (or other electronics or valuables), hide along sides of furniture so as to reduce the chance that it will be identified by an intruder. This configuration is expected to be very popular.

These could be made to appear like small disks (ant traps, …) or other objects, but also would reduce the total surface size as compared to flat so as to be hidden in small spaces. Features such as sticky backs, Velcro and nail slots could be added to facilitate securing on sides/backs of furniture or other objects nearby.

Small small cubes (theoretically this would be the shape that if the goal was to limit every dimension to its minimum within a permitted volume), would have the highest yield, but both manufacturing issues and questions of its utility for this application bring it into doubt. Some application may find this configuration most beneficial.

The objective here would be to have it appear like a pencil or pen, or like a common wire. The picture depicts what is thought to be a ‘mine’ type pressure device for deployment on/in the ground for intrusion detection. New manufacturing techniques regarding lithography on mylar for electrical components make this a possibility.

To better support the ‘hidden’ feature of this component, it is possible

that we may find different common objects to locate it inside of.

Some examples of this are rocks or garden objects, jewelry, pencils &

notepads, plugs, Mezuzahs and money (rolls or stacks of bills).

Sources of Revenue


Below are four examples showing its versatility, reach and power.

Sigilo Market Analysis and Revenue Potential

Home valuables (intruder, guests,

children or maids)

Application Response requested Sensor type

Trip wire or pressure

beneath the object or attached

For this application, you can have yourself be the recipient via cell phone or pager, and regardless of whether you are home or not, any disturbance of this by anyone will be identified.

Park or Monument

(intrusion or vandalism)

‘Mine’ pressure sensors,

vibration or trip wires near

gates or doors.

For parks, they could be deployed in areas known for intruders or where concerns of vandalism or theft are prevalent. Pager messages to police regarding alert and site could be input.

Office valuables (wallet, keys,

lap-tops, petty cash or other)

Trip wire or pressure pad beneath or attached to

object

The object could be set on sensor which would trigger if it was lifted up or have a trip wire if pulled away. The response could be an instant message to rest of the office to go to your desk.

Cabin*

(intrusion, forced entry or

vandalism)

Vibration or trip wire on door,

pressure pads on mats outside

and inside

With this set-up, you would know when someone was at the door, trying to open it (shaking knob) and then if they gained entry. You, neighbors (of cabin) & local police could be contacts.

* Outside normal cellular area, if application justified increased cost, satellite networks can be used.


The applications are almost limitless. It will both replace expensive competition and provide security where high costs had prevented it.


There are places this is not effective - underground & submarines. Even at sites which have sophisticated security, Sigilo can serve as an inexpensive back-up.

The market and needs are best shown by the relevant statistics.


• 2.43 Million burglaries in 1997 in United States

• 13.4% of burglary cases solved nationwide

• Homes without alarms 2.2 times more likely to be broken into

• $11.5 Billion in property was burglarized in 1997

• Average loss nationwide is $1381

• $100 Billion yearly spent on security, 30 for IT

• $19 Billion spent last year on residential and commercial alarm systems

• 3 Million new systems installed, bring U.S. total to around $30.1 Million

• $1200 spent on average installation, $27 monthly fee average

• 20% of homes are estimated to have systems - 80% do not

A B C D E


There are seven risks that concern us most, and they will be better understood or resolved during the early stages of this project.

Sigilo Detailed Risk Assessment

Analysis Number Probability Risk

Using the ‘new, useful and not obvious’ rule, we expect to get a patent on at least a part. We do not underestimate the IP coordination challenges of this.

A1 Low/Medium Do not get any

patent at all

To execute this, one needs to be able to license or partner with Prior Art holders in Manufacturing, the Physical Devices and Operations - a lot of work ahead.

A3 Medium/High Licensing too

expensive or lack of agreements

It is possible that a key patent or technology holder could ‘block’ this proposal, just to prevent it or do it themselves. They would have to settle/fight us also.

A5 Medium Refusal of licensing

We will find this out the hard way, but Diceland Technologies will be the enabler. They are the key to this venture, and will be able to ‘refuse’ any partner.

A6 Medium Someone already has

filed for same idea

With the advent of new technology, areas such as MEMs and Nanotechnology will open up many new options. Patent covers these, but remains worrisome.

C1 High Less expensive

alternative is found

User errors in both setting up and in operation is expected to cause difficulties, but the move to ‘physical’, and not motion sensors should mitigate this.

D2 Low/Medium Cause too many

problems, like false alarms

We expect this will be a market issue. Many people will prefer the control and ability to take actions themselves a lower cost. Worst case, smaller market.

E3 Low Consumers do not like

the ‘do-it-yourself’ work involved


One can use the chart below to calculate expected yearly revenue and profits just from unit sales. This excludes ‘alerts’ & licensing revenue.

Currently we are pursuing this as a Due Diligence to best determine viability. Its complexity and immense potential warrant resources.

Sigilo Closing

• The Patent author Jay Martin (Edward J. Martin, Jr.) is the only person working on this full-time.

• Schief & Stone will most likely lead Patent and Licensing efforts. Much additional legal work will be required, particularly at the front-end.

• In addition to understanding other patents, we also require assistance in improving the patent which has already been filed.

• Sigilo is a placeholder name, and we are pursuing more attractive ones which have been Trademarked. Can easily create a new name also.

• Our interim objective is to speak to Diceland or its patent holders regarding our options. Their technology will be of great help.

We are searching for resource partners, and prefer to find ones who could, if this warrants, provide multiple rounds of funding.
