| 20110126024 | Method and system for combining a PIN and a biometric sample to provide template encryption and a trusted stand-alone computing device - Biometric data, suitably transformed are obtained from a biometric input device contained within a stand-alone computing device and used in conjunction with a PIN to authenticate the user to the device. The biometric template and other data residing on the device are encrypted using hardware elements of the device, the PIN and Password hash. A stored obfuscated password is de-obfuscated and released to the device authentication mechanism in response to a successfully decrypted template and matching biometric sample and PIN. The de-obfuscated password is used to authenticate the user to device, the user to a remote computer, and to encrypt device data at rest on the device and in transit to and from the remote computer. This creates a trusted relationship between the stand-alone device and the remote computer. The system also eliminates the need for the user to remember and enter complex passwords on the device. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20090039141 | BONDING WIRE CLEANING UNIT AND METHOD OF WIRE BONDING USING THE SAME - A wire cleaning system for cleaning wire configured to be wirebonded is provided. The wire cleaning system includes a chamber through which a wire configured to be wirebonded extends prior to the wire being wirebonded. The wire cleaning system also includes an energy source for removing contamination from the wire in the chamber prior to the wire being wirebonded. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20110148449 | CANTILEVER PROBE STRUCTURE FOR A PROBE CARD ASSEMBLY - A probe for a probe card assembly includes a beam and a fulcrum element. The fulcrum element is positioned between a base end portion of the beam and a tip end portion of the beam and is adapted for contact with the beam such that the beam is cantilevered by the fulcrum. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20110303372 | PROCESS FOR REDUCING SPECIFIC ENERGY DEMAND DURING REFINING OF THERMOMECHANICAL AND CHEMI-THERMOMECHANICAL PULP - A method for producing thermomechanical or chemi-thermomechanical pulp is provided. The process is characterized as having a reduced specific energy demand during refining. The process involves processing a pretreated wood material using one or more high consistency refining steps to produce a first pulp, optionally applying a chelating agent to the first pulp during HC refining to produce a stabilized pulp and treating the first or stabilized pulp with an alkaline-peroxide liquor to produce a treated pulp. The treated pulp is then processed by one or more second low consistency refining steps. Alternatively, the first pulp or stabilized pulp may be divided into a primary and secondary stream. The primary stream is treated with alkaline-peroxide liquor to produce a treated pulp. The secondary stream is processed using a secondary HC refining step to produce a partially refined pulp, and removing latency of the partially refined pulp and the treated pulp is removed in a common location. The treated pulp and the partially treated pulp is processed by one or more than one second low consistency refining step to produce a final pulp. The methods utilize less energy when compared with a method for producing pulp that requires both primary and secondary high consistency refining stages. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20110238510 | REDUCTION OF TRANSACTION FRAUD THROUGH THE USE OF AUTOMATIC CENTRALIZED SIGNATURE/SIGN VERIFICATION COMBINED WITH CREDIT AND FRAUD SCORING DURING REAL-TIME PAYMENT CARD AUTHORIZATION PROCESSES - A dynamic signature/sign biometric verification system for detecting and preventing fraudulent transactions is described. The system comprises remote digital signature/sign input devices, a means to extract spatial and temporal features from the signature, a means to transmit the signature/sign features along with customer identifier information to a centralized signature/sign verification authority, a means for combining signature/sign feature verification with other forms of fraud detection technology, and a means for transmitting the results of a signature/sign verification back to the remote location where the signature/sign was captured. The system was primarily developed for use in payment card industries (e.g. credit cards, debit cards) but has applicability to other centralized signature/sign verification applications such as Automated Teller Machine authorizations and other identity theft detection and monitoring services. | 09-29-2011 |
