20080275917Itso Fvc2 Application Monitor - The invention provides an ITSO-based smartcard system including a programmable smartcard device for use in the ITSO scheme carrying a file system and operating software enabling the on-device file system to interface with at least one off-device ITSO application. At the interface, the off-device ITSO application is permitted to access and/or modify data in the on-device file system. The programmable smartcard device comprises monitoring means operable to monitor the sequence of operations carried out by the off-line application in accessing and/or modifying data in the on-device files and to restrict or prevent further access or modifications to such data if that sequence of operations does not meet predetermined criteria. Preferably, the monitoring means includes a state engine capable of being set to one of a plurality of states, at least one of which is an error state, in which further modification to the data in some or all of the on-device files is prevented until the sequence of operations is restarted. The system may also be such that inter-engagement of the smartcard device with the interface device causes the interface device to generate a session key used in the encryption/decryption of data and/or commands during a sequence of operations carried out to access and/or modify data carried by the programmable smartcard device. Preferably, completion of a sequence of operations to modify data on the programmable smartcard device causes the interface device to open a new session and to generate a second session key and to use that second session key to verify that the required data has been modified in accordance with the intended sequence of operations. The invention is thus capable of providing an ITSO based system with better protection against fraud.11-06-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100116655CHEMICAL MESSENGER SENSOR - A sensor for the detection of chemical messengers is described herein. In particular a sensor for the detection of catecholamines, for example dopamine, epinephrine or norepinephrine, is reported. Catecholamines play pivotal roles as neurotransmitters and hormones in the human body. An electrode for detecting a catecholamine comprising a conducting or semi-conducting substrate, and a polymer comprising polyethylenedioxythiophene on said substrate is disclosed. The polymer is doped with a cyclodextrin macrocycle. Suitable cyclodextrin macrocycles include anionic cyclodextrin macrocycles, for example sulfonated β-cyclodextrins (CDs). Also, disclosed in sensor capable of selectively detecting a catecholamine in the presence of ascorbic acid (ascorbate).05-13-2010

20090131001SWITCH ARCHITECTURE - An apparatus may include a filtering network and a switch. From an amplified signal, the filtering network produces a filtered signal for wireless transmission in a frequency band. The switch includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a switching element. The first terminal receives the filtered signal and the switching element selectively couples the first and second terminals. The filtering network also attenuates harmonics of the filtered signal that are generated by the switch. This attenuation establishes compliance with a harmonic emissions power limit associated with the frequency band. More particularly, this attenuation reduces at least one of the harmonics from a level exceeding the harmonic emissions power limit to a level within the harmonic emissions power limit.05-21-2009
