20140187681 | JELLYFISH-INSPIRED TILT SENSOR AND ARTIFICIAL MESOGLEA - Components of an unmanned undersea vehicle are inspired by jellyfish that uses its flexible body and tilt sensing to achieve efficient swimming and turning. A tilt sensor, based on a statocyst, has a metal ball in a chamber lined with resistors. The tilt is sensed in accordance with which resistors the ball contacts. A composition of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel with ferritin particles dispersed therein mimics the qualities of a jellyfish's mesoglea. | 07-03-2014 |

20140369368 | Thermal Locker - An assembly includes an etalon assembly for dynamically locking a frequency of an optical beam to a set frequency, the etalon assembly being external to a laser source assembly that outputs the optical beam. The etalon assembly includes an etalon that receives the optical beam and generates via interference effects a transmission beam, the etalon having a thermal tuning range greater than one half of a free spectral range of the etalon. The etalon assembly also includes an etalon heater mounted to the etalon such that the etalon heater is configured to adjust the temperature of the etalon. The assembly includes a controller configured to retrieve calibration data based on the set frequency, calculate a set temperature for the etalon using a thermal tuning algorithm and the calibration data, and control the etalon heater such that the etalon has a temperature equal to the calculated set temperature. | 12-18-2014 |

20150120428 | MOBILE-ENABLED COMMERCE SERVICE AGGREGATION - Mobile payment systems and methods allow a customer to make payments at a point-of-sale device using their mobile device. In the mobile payment method, a single bundle of transaction information is received at an aggregator server from a mobile device and the server creates a bundle ID for the received bundle. The bundle ID is sent to the mobile device, which presents it to the POS device. The POS device sends the received bundle ID back to the aggregator server and, if the bundle ID matches the expected ID, then payment processing is initiated according to preferences outlined in the transaction information. | 04-30-2015 |
