20120088480SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMISATION OF MEDIA OBJECTS - A system and method for optimisation of media objects for delivery to one of a plurality of mobile communication devices of different types and rendering thereon. In particular, the media objects are optimised according to the mobile device's characteristics to ensure efficient delivery and optimal rendering thereon. For this purpose, an optimised output of the media object is determined at a first stage. At a subsequent stage, based on the mobile device type, the characteristics of the object to be delivered are then adjusted to conform to those of the predetermined optimised output, thus ensuring that the rendering of the optimised media object on the mobile device output is of high quality.04-12-2012

20090255996THREE-LEGACY MODE PAYMENT CARD WITH PARAMETRIC AUTHENTICATION AND DATA INPUT ELEMENTS - A payment card comprises a plastic card and operates with three different legacy payment systems. A magnetic stripe with user account data allows card use in traditional point-of-sale magnetic card readers. A dual-input crypto-processor embedded in the card provides for contact/contactless smart card operation. A user input provides for user authentication by the crypto-processor. Internal to the plastic card, and behind the magnetic stripe, a magnetic array includes a number of fixed-position magnetic write heads that allow the user account data to be automatically modified by the crypto-processor.10-15-2009
20100127083Auto-sequencing financial payment display card - A payment card comprises a store of issuer-defined pre-generated cryptograms that are loaded only once into the Card by a perso-bureau or issuer. An on-board and autonomous electronic display of the personal account number (PAN), card verification value (CVV), or expiration date (EXP) is auto-sequenced through the stored cryptograms. Each value displayed to the user is unique, and useful in a financial transaction only once. The Card thus requires no changes in behavior on the part of the User, because the existing merchant infrastructure is already equipped to collect PAN+CVV+EXP data for user verification and transaction authorization.05-27-2010

20080201264PAYMENT CARD FINANCIAL TRANSACTION AUTHENTICATOR - A payment card financial transaction authenticates for providing overall financial network security computes a number of results from a cryptographic key that match values that were selectively used to personalize individual payment cards with their individual user identification and account access codes. An account access code is later presented daring a financial transaction involving at least one of those individual payment cards. A dynamic portion is included in a merchant's magnetic reading of the payment card. Then authenication can proceed by matching it with values computed from the cryptographic key.08-21-2008

20110292374Nadir Emissive Hyperspectral Measurement Operation (NEHMO) - A method for measuring spectral characteristics includes capturing spectral-spatial data that includes radiance measurements over spectrally flat, highly emissive surface portions of a sample material and heater at least two different heater temperatures for transmissive and/or emissive configurations. Temperatures of the sample material and heater are determined at the different heater temperatures for each configuration using, in each instance, radiance measurements taken after the temperatures of the heater and sample material have both stabilized. The transmissivity of the sample material is determined using the temperatures determined in the transmissive configuration and spectral-spatial data collected at selected points of interest over the sample material. The emissivity of the sample material is determined using the temperatures determined in the emissive configuration, the spectral-spatial data collected at selected points of interest over the sample material, and the transmissivity. The reflectivity of the sample material is determined using the emissivity and transmissivity.12-01-2011
