20120072344 | TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSACTION ADJUSTMENT - Techniques are provided for transaction adjustment. A payment device, having an offline balance, is presented to an offline terminal in connection with a putative transaction. If an irregularity with the putative transaction is detected, the offline balance is adjusted responsive to the detection. In one aspect of the invention, such adjustment can be carried out, via offline-terminal interaction, substantially without the use of a security module and cryptographic keys in the offline terminal. | 03-22-2012 |
20130024363 | PAYMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD - Techniques are provided for updating an offline parameter of a payment device having an online-capable application and a primarily offline application. The offline parameter can be a counter reflective of an offline spending balance. The same parameter can be shared between the applications, or cross-application visibility of the parameter can be provided. When a requirement to update the offline parameter is determined, the offline parameter can be updated substantially contemporaneously with an online transaction. The updates can be transparent to the user, allowing substantial duplication of the debit card and/or credit card experience with an offline payment device. | 01-24-2013 |

20130219586 | HUMAN GRASP ASSIST DEVICE SOFT GOODS - A grasp assist system includes a glove and a flexible sleeve. The glove includes a digit such as a finger or thumb, a force sensor configured to measure a grasping force applied to an object by an operator wearing the glove, and adjustable phalange rings positioned with respect to the digit. A saddle is positioned with respect to the finger. A flexible tendon is looped at one end around the saddle. A conduit contains the tendon. A conduit anchor secured within a palm of the glove receives the conduit. The sleeve has pockets containing an actuator assembly connected to another end of the tendon and a controller. The controller is in communication with the force sensor, and calculates a tensile force in response to the measured grasping force. The controller commands the tensile force from the actuator assembly to tension the tendon and thereby move the finger. | 08-29-2013 |
