Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090278348COMPOSITE COILED TUBING END CONNECTOR - Connectors for attaching a composite pipe to a service member are described herein. In one embodiment, a connector can include a service end, a slip nut, a slip, a seal carrier, and an energy conductor. The slip nut can be disposed about the outer surface of the pipe and can be engaged by the service end. The slip can be positioned about the outer surface of the pipe and can be engaged by the service end and the slip nut to compress the slip into gripping contact with the pipe. The seal carrier can be positioned in a bore of the pipe at a location radially opposite the slip to resist deformation of the pipe when the slip is compressed into gripping contact with the pipe. The energy conductor can be embedded within and surrounded by a material of the service end for connection with an energy conductor within the composite pipe.11-12-2009

20110303343MICROFLUIDIC BONDING TECHNOLOGY - The invention is directed to forming a bond between dissimilar polymer surfaces. By providing one substrate that comprises a vinyl acetate polymer, and then by modifying the surface energy of that substrate, that substrate may be advantageously bonded with a second polymer substrate having a surface whose surface energy has been modified. In one example, the first substrate is a rigid substrate, while the second substrate is a flexible membrane that is comprised of a thermoplastic elastomer and a vinyl acetate.12-15-2011

20100125509METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURE MOBILE DEVICE INITIATED PAYMENTS USING GENERATED IMAGE DATA - Systems, methods, processes, computer program code and means for conducting a payment transaction are provided which include activating a payment application of a mobile device, generating, using the payment application, an optical image representing payment account information associated with the payment application, said payment account information including at least one of a payment account number, an expiry date of the payment account number, and a dynamic verification code generated by the payment application; and presenting the optical image to a merchant transaction terminal for scanning to conduct the payment transaction.05-20-2010
20100131413METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO SECURELY LOARD / RELOAD A CONTACTLESS PAYMENT DEVICE - Embodiments allow loading and reloading contactless payment devices using only a contactless terminal interface, while providing user authentication. The contactless terminal interface could be at a merchant POS location, kiosk, or embedded or attached to a personal computing device with contactless read/write capability such as a personal computer or mobile phone or Internet device.05-27-2010
20100242104METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURE AUTHENTICATION - A system, device, method, program instructions, and means for securely authenticating a user, the method including mapping, by a one time code generating device in the possession of a user, a one time code onto a graphical representation of a positional array; displaying the one time code mapped onto the graphical representation of the positional array; determining an encoded personal identification number (PIN), the encoded PIN is based on the one time code mapped onto the graphical representation of the positional array and a static PIN known by the user; and authenticating the user based on the encoded PIN.09-23-2010
20100262542Method And System For Controlling Risk In A Payment Transaction - Example embodiments of the presently described subject matter are described that require a customer to use a secure payment token if, during a payment transaction, it is determined that the payment transaction poses a risk. A risk analysis may be performed based at least in part on data related to the payment transaction, such as data related to the customer, the transaction itself, the merchant, etc. If the results of the risk analysis indicate that an unacceptable amount of risk exists, the merchant or any interested party may require the customer to use a secure payment token, for example, a smart card, to conduct the transaction. Otherwise, the customer may proceed by using a static payment token, for example a credit card or PIN/password-based payment token.10-14-2010
20110010289Method And System For Controlling Risk Using Static Payment Data And An Intelligent Payment Device - Example embodiments are described that permit a merchant to conduct a payment transaction using a customer's intelligent payment device when it is determined that the customer has an intelligent payment device. In the absence of such a device, the merchant may conduct the payment transaction using a traditional payment token, for example a payment token including static data. The static data may include an intelligent device data, for example a code embedded on a magnetic stripe, that may alert a merchant to the existence of the intelligent payment device. The merchant may then conduct the payment transaction using the intelligent payment device instead of using the static data.01-13-2011
20110017820TECHNIQUES FOR AUTHORIZATION OF USAGE OF A PAYMENT DEVICE - Techniques for authorization of usage of a payment device include facilitating an issuer of the device obtaining an authorization message for an account number associated with the device, based on desired spending limit parameters established by a merchant and/or an issuer of the device; facilitating obtaining an issuer authorization decision; and responsive to the issuer authorization decision, facilitating setting a spending limit for the account number based on at least an appropriate one of the parameters.01-27-2011
