| 20110231913 | SYSTEM AND METHODS OF DETERMINING COMPUTATIONAL PUZZLE DIFFICULTY FOR CHALLENGE-RESPONSE AUTHENTICATION - Computational puzzles are parameterized by a difficulty variable which may be assigned based on at least one component from the group of components: time component, location component, reputation component, usage component, content component, and social networking component. For example, in one embodiment, the proof-of-work puzzle comprises a location component directed by the geographic location of the client that can be applied to any web transaction or application. One such application involves online ticket sales including those that employ purchasing robots. Another application involves accessing and using webmail. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110138507 | WHISPERING GALLERY MODE ULTRASONICALLY COUPLED SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPE - Scanning probe microscopes include a probe tip coupled to a tuning fork or other acoustic resonator so as to apply a shear force when contacted to a specimen surface based on an applied acoustic signal. A secondary ultrasonic transducer is in acoustic communication with the specimen and a resonant structure. Probe tip-specimen displacement can be detected based on whispering gallery mode ultrasonic waves in the resonant structure using the secondary transducer, and such displacements maintained using feedback control based on whispering gallery mode acoustic wave magnitude. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20100191137 | DEVICE FOR DETECTING DIAPHRAGM MOVEMENTS - A device for detecting diaphragm movements includes an accelerometric sensor with a fixture for attachment to the user's chest and a conductor connected to the control module. The device is useful for detecting diaphragm movements during invasive curative procedures on the human heart, in particular during operations of atrial fibrillation. | 07-29-2010 |
