Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120091202MOBILE APPLICATION BAR CODE IDENTIFICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM - Applicant's Smartphone application provides ticket-holding patrons an alternative, digital means of verifying personal identification at entry to a venue or event. The Smartphone application periodically generates a unique QR code (barcode) that contains a unique identifier (i.e., mobile device ID) which prompts the venue/event entry system to recognize the patron. No barcode (serving as a ticket, or authentication/verification, or otherwise) is downloaded from the system server to the Smartphone/mobile device client in contrast to prior art systems.04-19-2012

20120283637Injection site marker - The present invention relates to the use of syringes for medicinal liquid injections into mammals, particularly humans, with the syringe bearing a marker ink to mark injection site with marker ink. The disclosed embodiments address re-injecting a medical liquid into the skin at the same location as previous injections. The practice of re-injecting medical liquids into the same location can result in indentions, hard lumps, or thickening of the skin, or lipohyperplasia. It can further cause medications such as insulin, to be inefficiently absorbed. Rotating injection sites within arms, thighs, stomach or buttock usually prevents or reduces this problem. A marker is used on the portion of the syringe that touches the skin of a recipient and causes ink or powder to be transferred to the skin of the recipient to mark an injection site for a desired length of time.11-08-2012

20110290494METHOD FOR CIRCULATING A FLUID ENTRY OUT OF A SUBSURFACE WELLBORE WITHOUT SHUTTING IN THE WELLBORE - A method for removing a fluid influx from a subsea wellbore drilled using a pump to return fluid from the wellbore to the surface. The method includes detecting the influx when a rate of the return pump increases. Flow from the wellbore is diverted from the return pump to a choke line when the influx reaches the wellhead. A choke in the choke line is operated so that a rate of fluid pumped into the wellbore is substantially equal to a flow rate through the choke line. Fluid flow from the wellbore is redirected to the return pump inlet when the influx has substantially left the well.12-01-2011

20090132557USING HIERARCHICAL GROUPINGS TO ORGANIZE GRC GUIDELINES, POLICIES, CATEGORIES, AND RULES - A system and methodology are provided for using hierarchical groupings to organize governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) policies and rules. The groupings are based on categorizations that can be arbitrarily represented by both predetermined and user-defined hierarchical policy naming schemes. Once GRC regulatory and compliance policies and rules are grouped to accommodate company policies, testing can be designed around groups of policies and/or rules and scheduled to align with schedule and timing requirements. By allowing a policy or rule to be associated with multiple hierarchies, a single execution of a policy or rule can be associated with, managed from, and satisfy multiple regulatory and compliance needs with one effort.05-21-2009

20120179646Multi-tenant audit awareness in support of cloud environments - A cloud enablement aggregation proxy (CEAP) receives and processes audit data from audited resources before such data is stored in a database. The CEAP manages log data for resources hosted in a multi-tenant shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., a compute cloud). A method for managing log data begins by the proxy aggregating and normalizing log information received from a plurality of the resources. The aggregated and normalized log information is then parsed to identify a tenant associated with each of a set of transactions. For each of the set of transactions, the CEAP annotates log data associated with the tenant and the particular transaction to include a tenant-specific identifier. An optional tenant separation proxy (TSP) separates the annotated log data on a per tenant basis prior to storage, and the tenant-specific log data may be stored in per tenant data structures or dedicated tenant log event databases to facilitate subsequent compliance or other analysis.07-12-2012
20120179746Supporting Compliance in a Cloud Environment - Gathering auditable data concerning actions in a cloud computing environment is automated by determining that one or more auditable data items are available associated with a requester and with at least one application program; responsive to determining that data items are available, transmitting a list of the available auditable data items to a requesting cloud client computer; subsequent to transmitting the list, receiving a data request from the cloud client computer for one or more particular auditable data items from the list; preparing the requested particular auditable data items for transmission according to a predetermined format; and transmitting the prepared requested particular auditable data items to the cloud client computer. Optionally, in some embodiments, the requesting cloud client computer may negotiate a data exchange format with the cloud service provider for receipt of the requested auditable information.07-12-2012
