20150100328 | Facilitating Transactions for Health Applications Designed for Mobile Devices - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for facilitating transactions for health-related computing products (e.g., mobile health applications or health-related devices). One method includes storing a plurality of lists, each list including health-related computing products approved for compensation by a payer entity. A claim for a health-related computing product is received from a user. The list with which the user is associated is determined. A determination is made whether the health-related computing product included in the claim is listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated. When the health-related computing product is determined to be listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated, compensation by the payer is authorized. However, when the health-related computing product is not determined to be listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated, compensation by the payer is declined. | 04-09-2015 |

20090319781 | SECURE MESSAGE DELIVERY USING A TRUST BROKER - An email security system is described that allows users within different organizations to securely send email to one another. The email security system provides a federation server on the Internet or other unsecured network accessible by each of the organizations. Each organization provides identity information to the federation server. When a sender in one organization sends a message to a recipient in another organization, the federation server provides the sender's email server with a secure token for encrypting the message to provide secure delivery over the unsecured network. | 12-24-2009 |
20130191894 | Integrating Server Applications with Multiple Authentication Providers - Online and on-premise applications identify trusted authentication providers. The applications are configured with a list of trusted issuers of authentication credentials. When an application receives a request requiring authentication, the application returns a 401 response that includes the trusted issuer list. The requesting application compares the trusted issuer list from the 401 response to its own list of authentication providers. If there is a match between the two lists, then the requesting application creates a self-issued token for the authentication provider. The authentication provider uses the self-issued token to generate an authentication token for the requesting application. The requesting application may also directly create a token for a target partner application, without an authentication provider, if there is a direct trust between the two applications. | 07-25-2013 |

20150276798 | THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL HANDLING FOR THERMAL CONTROL OF AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT UNDER TEST - Thermal interface material handing is described for thermal control of an electronic component under test. In one example, a thermal control unit is adapted to control the temperature of at least a portion of an electronic component during testing. A pedestal between the thermal control unit and the electronic component conducts heat from the electronic component to the thermal head. A conduit extends through a portion of the pedestal, to permit the flow of a liquid thermal interface material from an external source to a space between the pedestal and the electronic component. The liquid thermal interface material improves heat conduction between the electronic component and the pedestal. An elastomeric seal between the electronic device and the pedestal constrains the thermal interface fluid within the space between the electronic component and the pedestal. | 10-01-2015 |

20090024116 | LASER HAIR AND SCALP TREATMENT DEVICE - A handled laser treatment device provides a plurality of branched light pipes or light distribution tips distributed so as to evenly deliver laser radiation to the surface of the scalp. To make efficient use of each laser diode, each laser can coupled to a branched light pipe with the branches arranged to distribute light directly to the surface of the scalp. Each laser source is connected to a three branch light pipe. Alternatively, each laser diode can be directly coupled to a light distribution tip arranged in a triad. Each light pipe or light distribution tip acts as a tine or tooth in a comb to bring laser radiation to the scalp free of obstruction by hair, etc., with a tripod configuration that allows each light pipe assembly to evenly contact the rounded surface of the scalp. The branched light pipes or the light distribution tips are preferentially coupled to a flexible membrane so as to be capable of independent orientation allowing improved contact of the distal ends of the tripods or triads to the scalp. | 01-22-2009 |
20090199860 | Applicator for hair building solids - An improved applicator for hair building cosmetic fibers, powders and particles uses a gentle stream of gas to suspend the fibers and waft them onto the user's scalp. A low pressure, low velocity gas stream directed downwards into a mass of fibers in a closed container suspends them. The suspended fibers exit through a small orifice connected with a passageway ending in a nozzle. The suspended fibers are propelled from the bulb in a directed fashion to settle naturally in a controlled area. If a rubber bulb is used to supply air to suspend the fibers, a user can gently squeeze the bulb to allow controlled puffs of air and fibers to waft onto controlled regions of the scalp. A valve arrangement can be operated to provide an air stream to remove excess deposited fibers from regions of the scalp. | 08-13-2009 |
