20110083171 | Method and apparatus in combination with a storage means for carrying out an authentication process for authenticating a subsequent transaction - A computer, such as a WINDOWS® operating system-based PC, has associated with it a Subscriber Identity Module (or SIM), such as of the type used in a GSM cellular telephone system. The SIM can be authenticated by the telephone network, in the same way as for authenticating SIMs of telephone handset users in the network, and can in this way authenticate the user of the PC or the PC itself. Such authentication can, for example, permit use of the PC in relation to a particular application which is released to the PC after the authentication is satisfactorily completed. The application may be released to the PC by a third party after and in response to the satisfactory completion of the authentication process. A charge for the session can be debited to the user by the telecommunications network and then passed on to the third party. | 04-07-2011 |

20100101331 | ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METER - An electromagnetic flow meter is described having a pressure containing vessel or conduit through which the fluid to be metered is passed. The pressure containing vessel is formed of first and second sections which are made of respective materials having first and second magnetic permeabilities, such as stainless steel and carbon steel. A single magnetic field generating coil is provided adjacent the first section for generating a magnetic field across the pressure containing vessel. | 04-29-2010 |

20090273779 | Metal nano-void photonic crystal for enhanced raman spectroscopy - A planar optical platform for generating a Raman signal from a foreign object comprises an input region and an output region, for receiving and extracting optical radiation, optically coupled to a plasmonic band structure region. The plasmonic band structure region comprises a layer of a first material, having a first refractive index, patterned with an array of sub-regions of a second material, having a second refractive index, wherein a side-wall of each sub-region is coated with a metallodielectric layer. The array of sub-regions gives rise to a plasmonic band structure and, in use, each sub-region confines a plasmon resonance excited by optical radiation coupled into the plasmonic band structure region, which gives rise to a Raman signal from a foreign object placed proximate the plasmonic band structure region. The platform may be incorporated into a spectroscopic measurement system and is particularly useful for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of analyte molecules. | 11-05-2009 |

20090101931 | Light Emitting Diode Structures - Light emitting diode (LED) structures are described that include a first layer and a light-generating layer, wherein light generated in the light-generating layer generally emerges from the LED structure through the upper surface of the first layer. The coupling out of light generated by spontaneous emission is enhanced by the presence of patterning in the first layer, which may take the form of an embedded photonic quasicrystal, a photonic structure comprising an amorphous array of subregions, or a zone plate structure. The invention provides the benefit of improved light extraction from the LED without undesirable far field illumination patterns. | 04-23-2009 |

20150063711 | LOCATING OBJECTS USING IMAGES FROM PORTABLE DEVICES - A method and/or computer program product assists in locating objects using a local physical device and one or more remote physical devices having image capture capability. A local physical device captures one or more reference images of an object, and shares identification metrics associated with one or more reference images of the object with one or more of the remote physical devices. One or more remote physical devices captures one or more images of an area in which the object may be located, and determines, using the identification metrics, whether any of the images captured includes the object. In response to a determination that any of the images captured includes the object, those images are stored and associated with the object. In response to the object being lost by a user, the local physical device reviews the stored images to determine a location of the lost object. | 03-05-2015 |
20150138008 | TARGET IDENTIFICATION FOR SENDING CONTENT FROM A MOBILE DEVICE - A method for target identification for a connectable device is carried out at a mobile device. A sensor on a mobile device receives one or more infrared emissions from one or more infrared light sources, each light source being provided by a connectable device in an area. One or more processors in the mobile device analyze the one or more infrared emissions to determine a target connectable device at a target position in the area. The mobile device receives a blink pattern of infrared emissions from the target connectable device. One or more processors in the mobile device decode the blink pattern to determine a reference for the target connectable device to enable wireless connection by the mobile device to the target connectable device for data transfer. | 05-21-2015 |

20160048487 | FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT HISTORY TRACKING - Version history tracking of functional components is provided. Whether a source of a functional component is known to a version history tracker is determined. If the source of the functional component is determined to be not known to the version history tracker, an automated analysis of content of the functional component is performed. If the source of the functional component is determined to be known to the version history tracker, a bifurcated version history hierarchy of the functional component is created using at least partial data transfer between at least two functional components irrespective of any metadata associated with either of the at least two functional components. A branched network of the version history for the functional component is produced. The branched network of the version history is based on at least one of the automated analysis and the bifurcated version history hierarchy. | 02-18-2016 |

20160090038 | DANGER ZONE WARNING SYSTEM - Providing a danger zone warning. A volume is determined, and the volume is modeled. One or more danger zones within the volume are determined, wherein a danger zone is a sub-volume of the volume which is or will become hazardous for a person to be in. A visual indication is provided on the ground of a danger zone. Also, a directed audio warning is provided to a danger zone. A danger zone may be monitored for entry of a person into the danger zone, and one or both of the visual indication and the directed audio warning may be provided when an entry is detected. | 03-31-2016 |
