| 20120091195 | LOSS PREVENTION SYSTEM WITH COVERT MARKS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF - A method of manufacture of a loss prevention system includes: providing a disc having a top planar surface; and applying an identification mark on the top planar surface, the identification mark containing covert security information. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20110093442 | Method for Facilitating Online Interactions Initiated Using Optical Disc Players - Online interactions using optical disc players are facilitated by extracting information from a user request that was initiated from an optical disc player, and then using the extracted information to identify pre-existing user-specific data. A short code, which is specific to the desired online interaction and associated with the extracted information and pre-existing information, is generated and transmitted back to the optical disc player. This short code is then provided back to the back-end server by the user from a secondary consumer electronic device, and used to retrieve associated information, such as the target website for consummating the desired interaction and the previously-identified pre-existing information. Retrieved information is used to populate data fields on the target website prior the user being re-directed to the target website. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20100324934 | Electronic Backbone for Medicine Infrastructure - Embodiments of the invention relate to the association of a non-guessable, unique ID with a user and the automatic or electronic referral of user ID to a medical service provider, without revealing private medical information. After the assignment of a unique ID to a User, the ID may then provide authentication by a certified health care source. In some embodiments, the delivery of a unique ID to a User can act as a token that can provide authentication for data entering a secure transmission system for medical referrals and tracking. In some embodiments, an electronic system compensates various parties by tracking activities associated with a unique user ID number without revealing any private medical information of a user also associated with the ID. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100208006 | PRINTING BIO-REACTIVE MATERIALS - A method for printing one or more desired features on a polymeric substrate. In an example embodiment, the method includes receiving an ink that includes a bio-reactive indicator material, and employing a piezoelectric printhead to deposit the ink on a polymeric substrate. The polymer substrate with the ink deposited thereon represents a diagnostic testing device for performing a test on a material sample. The method further includes employing UltraViolet (UV) light to cure the ink. The ink may include an electrically conductive material. A UV light source may be coupled to a piezoelectric printhead and actuated in response to a control signal from a controller to facilitate curing materials deposited on the polymeric substrate. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20080225424 | Optical device and method of making the same using combination of light energy sensitive materials - A method of making optical devices includes applying an energy sensitive protective material and an energy sensitive advanced optical material to a surface. The surface can be on the optical device or on a carrier, such as a thin sheet, to be applied to the optical device. Light energy is applied through a special production filter to cure the energy sensitive protective material on the surface while blocking light energy outside a selected wavelength spectrum from reaching the material. A portion of the optical device can then be masked, and light energy outside the spectrum filtered by the special production filter can be applied to activate the unmasked portion of the advanced optical material. The special production filter allows curing of the protective material using light energy in a limited (e.g., visible) spectrum so that the advanced optical material can be activated using light energy in the ultraviolet spectrum. | 09-18-2008 |
