Christopher Christmas, Denver, CO US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110184825MOBILE COMMERCE TICKETING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A mobile commerce method and system for facilitating the same are described. In particular, the mobile commerce method employs images and image-encryption algorithms to confirm purchases. A user purchases a good and/or service and once payment has been authenticated, the authenticating entity generates a globally unique image which is transmitted back to the user's mobile communication device. The globally unique image may then be displayed on the user's mobile communication device as a proof of purchase of the good and/or service.07-28-2011

20110050347Method and System for Amplifier Control - A method is disclosed wherein a power level indicating a level of transmission power from an amplifier is provided. An indication of at least one of channel, channel bandwidth, OOB spectral requirements, spectral mask requirements, EVM, modulation rate, and modulation type is also provided. A control signal for controlling one of a bias current provided to the amplifier and a matching circuit for matching an output port of at least a stage of the amplifier is generated, the control signal determined in dependence upon the power level and the at least an indication. Then the one of the bias current and the matching circuit is adjusted in accordance with the control signal.03-03-2011

20090128872Method of forming an image and image projection device - A method of forming an image comprising providing a device for imparting respective phase shifts to different regions of an incident wavefront, wherein the phase shifts give rise to an image in a replay field, and causing zero-order light to be focused into a region between the replay field and the device.05-21-2009
20090128875Phase retrieval and phase hologram synthesis - A method of retrieving phase information from input intensity information, representative of a target image, in which a Fourier transform is performed on data and the result used in forming a phase estimate, the phase estimate being inverse Fourier transformed, thereby producing magnitude and phase replay, and wherein not only is the phase reply component but also data derived from the magnitude replay component, iteratively fed back.05-21-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090061207Impregnation apparatus and method - Apparel us for impregnating a porous substrate (e.g., wood) with an active agent, including a reservoir for containing a low boiling fluid, a controllable first fluid pathway to permit fluid to flow from the reservoir to a treatment vessel, a fluid junction for introducing the active agent into the first fluid pathway to permit mixing of the active agent with the low boiling fluid to produce an impregnation fluid containing an initial level of active agent and a controllable second fluid pathway to allow fluid to flow from the treatment vessel to the reservoir. The treatment vessel contains the porous substrate while it contacts the impregnation fluid in a liquid state to produce a treated substrate impregnated with the active agent. Also, a method for impregnating a substrate with an active agent, including preparing an impregnation fluid including a low boiling solvent and an active agent, and optionally a co-solvent, contacting the porous substrate with the impregnation fluid in a liquid substrate in an impregnation chamber and removing the impregnation fluid.03-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080289735Cover for toiletries - This cover for toiletries has a main body and a cord holder, such as a button, that is attached to an outer side of the main body. The cord holder has at least two opposed flanges that extend over portions of the outer side of the main body, and a gripping surface between the flanges and the main body. One end of a cord is attached to the main body. The cord has a stretchable section and a special gripping part. The gripping part is spaced at a distance from the attached end of the cord and has a coefficient of friction with respect to the gripping surface that holds a half winding of the cord between the opposed flanges and the outer side of the main body of the cover against a half pound of tension in the cord. In some instances, the outer side of the cover is more textured than the inner side. The cord can be relatively long and made of twisted silk or beaded elastic, and have a spring constant of between 1/8 and 1 pounds/inch. A unitary connector can hold both the cord and the cord holder to the main body of the cover.11-27-2008

20080300697Measurement Project Analyzer - System and method for creating a measurement application. User input specifying a sequence of functions implementing a measurement application is received, where the sequence of functions are executable to perform a specified task utilizing one or more hardware devices, and where the user input further specifies the hardware devices. Configuration of the measurement application is automatically analyzed according to rules specifying operation of the sequence of functions and the hardware devices. One or more errors in the measurement application are automatically determined based on the analyzing, and error information regarding the errors is displayed on a computer display, where the error information is usable to modify the measurement application to correct the one or more errors. In response to the error information, user input modifying the measurement application to correct the one or more errors may be received and/or the measurement application may be automatically modified to correct the errors.12-04-2008
