| 20110182422 | DOCUMENT AUTHENTICATION DATA EMBEDDING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method of embedding authentication data in an electronic document image is described. Data related to an item of information on an image of at least one page in the electronic document is acquired. The image is decomposed into a hierarchy of images having a top level and one Or more lower levels each having a higher level parent, each lower level image defining a smaller region of the corresponding higher level parent image, the top level image defining a region that covers the item of information. A first secure identifier of at least the top level image is computed and arranged in a first data arrangement. A second secure identifier of the data related to the item of information is computed and arranged in a second data arrangement with the data related to the item of information. The first and second data arrangements are embedded in the electronic document. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20100168245 | PREPARATION OF (R,R)-FENOTEROL AND (R,R)-OR (R,S)-FENOTEROL ANALOGUES AND THEIR USE IN TREATING CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE - This disclosure concerns the discovery of (R,R)- and (R,S)-fenoterol analogues which are highly effective at binding β2-adrenergic receptors. Exemplary chemical structures for these analogues are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions including the disclosed (R,R)-fenoterol and fenoterol analogues, and methods of using such compounds and compositions for the treatment of cardiac disorders such as congestive heart failure and pulmonary disorders such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20100208976 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED CHECK IMAGE PRIVACY - A method and system for enhanced check image privacy are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide a way to automatically link the results from quality assurance software to a check image archive to appropriately mark images as unretrievable by customers. Images are interrogated with a data matching algorithm to determine whether a confidence score expressing a likelihood that the image matches associated, stored magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) data is below a pre-set threshold. The image can be then automatically designated in the financial document archive. The image can be displayed to an operator for analysis when the confidence score is above the pre-set threshold and below a pre-set limit, or in cases where the confidence score cannot be determined by the data matching algorithm. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20090292628 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PERFORMING ITEM LEVEL TRANSACTION PROCESSING - The present invention provides systems, methods, and computer program products for performing validation and clearance at a transaction item level for transaction received in a batch format. Each transaction of the batch is stored separately in a storage system, such as a logical database. Typically, image data and electronic data for a transaction are stored separately in the storage system and may be linked to each other. Each transaction is separately accessible and/or updateable. Each transaction stored in the storage system is separately analyzed to validate that the transaction is at least balanced. Transactions that determined to be balanced are cleared irrespective of a balance status associated with other transactions associated with the batch of transactions, such that transactions are individually cleared as opposed to being cleared in a batch format. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20110149510 | Adjustable Laptop Holder - An adjustable laptop holder having an adjustable tray so as to allow a user to adjust the height of a laptop screen. The adjustable laptop can comprise a base, a shaft, a tray, a friction pack, and a clutch bearing. The friction pack attaches the shaft to the base. The clutch bearing has an inner race coupled to the shaft and an outer race which engages the tray. The adjustable laptop holder having features of the present invention allows a user to freely rotate the tray into the open position yet resists returning to the closed position, effectively locking the laptop holder in the desired position. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20080235324 | Providing Shared Tasks Amongst a Plurality of Individuals - A mechanism for sharing tasks is provided in which individuals in a share group may signal their intent to complete individual shared tasks and communicate that intent to other individuals in the share group. A required time for completion of the shared tasks may be associated with an individual's signaling of the intent to complete the shared task. The completion of the shared task by the individual signaling intent to complete may be monitored and, if not completed within the associated required time, the performance of the shared task may again be shared with the individuals of the share group. In this way, another individual may signal that individual's intent to perform the shared task and the process may be repeated until the shared task is completed. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090265640 | COLLABORATION WIDGETS WITH USER-MODAL VOTING PREFERENCE - Collaborative voting widgets (or controls) provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that is adapted for collaborative effort between groups of individuals. The widgets have a modal selection state that changes the appearance and functionality of the widget depending on whether the widget is being presented to a particular user (e.g., a group leader) or a member of the group. The group provides user input to vote on a value of the widget. The particular user may subsequently override the voting result, reset the votes and optionally call for a re-vote, overriding the group consensus or breaking ties. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090282347 | INTERLACING RESPONSES WITHIN AN INSTANT MESSAGING SYSTEM - A computer-implemented method of interlacing responses within an instant messaging (IM) system can include, responsive to a request from a user in an IM session, storing an IM message fragment input by the user and associating the IM message fragment with a message selected from an IM session transcript. The method can include recalling the IM message fragment and outputting, at least in part, the IM message fragment in response to the message. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20110252544 | REBOUND-DAMPENING HEADGEAR LINERS WITH POSITIONING FEATURE - A liner adapted to be interposed between the interior surface of a protective headgear and a wearer's head includes a plurality of networked fluid cells adapted to distribute and dissipate an impact force to the liner, and/or headgear with which the liner is used, across a larger area of the wearer's head as compared with the impact location, and also to dampen the tendency of the wearer's head from rebounding back from the impact location by transferring fluid through the network from fluid cells at the impact location to those in an opposed region. Discrete fluid cells interspersed among the networked fluid cells maintain the liner and/or the headgear in a predetermined orientation on the wearer's head. Fluid flow within the liner may be restricted or directed by configuring the fluid passageways. A liner may further include means for moving fluid into or out of the fluid cells. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20120066144 | MAP GUIDANCE FOR THE STAFF OF A SERVICE-ORIENTED BUSINESS - Guidance is provided to a staff of a service-oriented business when catering to a guest on the premises of the service-oriented business. A signal is received from a presence detector on the premises. The signal is representative of a presence of the guest at a pre-determined location on the premises. A length of a time period is determined, during which the guest has been present at the pre-determined location. On a display monitor, a visual indication is generated of the presence at the pre-determined location. The visual indication has an attribute that changes with the passing of time. | 03-15-2012 |
