20110307710 | Tokenized Payment Processing Schemes - A payment processing system for accepting manually-entered payment-card numbers. Rather than entering a payment-card account number into an application module, the card number is instead captured and stored within a tokenizer prior to being sent to the application module. The tokenizer then returns a random token to the calling application as a pointer to the original payment-card number. The token has no algorithmic relationship with the original payment-card number, so that the payment-card number cannot be derived based on the token itself. Since the token is not considered cardholder data, the token may be used in an application module without the module or its connected hardware from being subject to regulatory standards compliance. Some embodiments involve browser-based schemes, and some embodiments involve PIN-entry device-based schemes. | 12-15-2011 |

20110319730 | BIO-PHOTONIC FEEDBACK CONTROL SOFTWARE AND DATABASE - A process, apparatus, and method for online control and database collection and management of a computerized detection, tracking, and feedback control system. The system tests for nutrients by Raman scattering effects on skin or other tissues to determine the content of carotenoids or other nutrients as evidenced in that skin. Serum levels of nutrients may vary dramatically with time, but skin tissues may average such nutrition over time. Skin and other tissues may be scanned with light to produce accurate measurements of carotenoids or other nutrients accumulated in the skin based on the Raman scattering affect of those nutrients in the skin. A score can be derived from a properly calibrated bio-photonic scanner to reflect an averaged effective uptake of the detected nutrient (e.g. such as the carotenoid example). | 12-29-2011 |
20110320324 | BIO-PHOTONIC FEEDBACK CONTROL SOFTWARE AND DATABASE - A process, apparatus, and method for computerized detection, tracking, and feedback control of nutritional supplements in an animal, including humans relies on Raman scattering effects on skin or other tissues to determine the content of carotenoids or other nutrients as evidenced in that skin. Serum levels of nutrients may vary dramatically with time, but skin tissues may average such nutrition over time. Skin and other tissues may be scanned with light to produce accurate measurements of carotenoids or other nutrients accumulated in the skin based on the Raman scattering affect of those nutrients in the skin. A score can be derived from a properly calibrated bio-photonic scanner to reflect an averaged effective uptake of the detected nutrient (e.g. such as the carotenoid example). This feedback control is thus much more immediate than any anecdotal, long-term, report of general well being, which would vary so much between individuals as to be nearly impossible to ascertain on an individual level, and difficult, invasive, and expensive to determine individually in a conventional clinical procedure. | 12-29-2011 |
