AcuNetx (Torrance, California) reported that its HawkEye law enforcement system, manufactured and marketed under an exclusive agreement with the company’s subsidiary, VisioNetx, has been awarded two separate patents by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

“HawkEye is fast becoming the standard tool for training law enforcement officers who patrol the nation’s highways and an invaluable aid in collecting data needed to identify and subsequently prosecute drunk drivers. Not surprisingly, the HawkEye is being increasingly used at sobriety-check points and field evaluation sites,” said Ron Waldorf, CEO of AcuNetx and co-inventor of the system.

AcuNetx markets a line of diagnostic, analytical and therapeutic tools for medical (audiologist, neurologists, otolaryngologists and physical therapists as well as hospitals, clinics, and extended care facilities) and law enforcement applications.
