20140133222 | PHASE CHANGE MEMORY DEVICES AND METHODS COMPRISING GALLIUM, LANTHANIDE AND CHALCOGENIDE COMPOUNDS - A new class of phase change materials has been discovered based on compounds of: Ga; lanthanide; and chalcogenide. This includes compounds of Ga, La, and S (GLS) as well as related compounds in which there is substitution of S with O, Se and/or Te. Moreover, La can be substituted with other lanthanide series elements. It has been demonstrated that this class of materials exhibit low energy switching. For example, the GLS material can provide an optical recording medium with erasability 3-5 dB greater than the erasability of GeSbTe (GST) material which is the standard material for phase change memories. | 05-15-2014 |

20100241493 | COMPUTERIZED VOTING SYSTEM - Any business, individuals, groups of people, or government that is Officially facilitating the voting process use sources of computer data and other data to create lists of every eligible Voter. The List of Eligible Voters contains the name and physical mailing address for each Voter. The Official host then arranges for printing of mailing envelopes containing specially designed ballots to the Voters. Each MASTER Ballot has two parts—a PRIMARY Ballot and at least one RECEIPT Ballot. For each MASTER Ballot, both the PRIMARY Ballot and RECEIPT Ballot(s) share an identical, unique group of symbols as a correlating identifier. The identifier (RSID) is randomly generated to be unique and rare, so as to make any ballot difficult to counterfeit. To maintain privacy, before voting, Voters exchange ballots any number of times within a voting region. Ballot validation prior to exchange is performed in person, by telephone, fax or Internet. Completed PRIMARY Ballots are mailed or otherwise delivered via Internet, Telephone, Fax or Email to Official host on or before the due date for verification, recording, tallying and publication. By referring to any RECEIPT Ballot having the same the unique RSID as the PRIMARY Ballot, any Voter can use a telephone or a computer connected to the Internet to enquire, verify or report errors as to processing of their PRIMARY Ballot, or published tallies of ballot votes or other information published. After voting is completed, Officials publish a list of all the Ballot Voting RSID's, so that anyone can verify any Ballot, Voter selections Ballots, the tally for each Ballot, etcetera. The Voting System may optionally be supported by physical ballots (paper, plastic, etc.) for immutable secondary verification of electronic votes; thus providing a transparent, verifiable audit trail to assure completeness, accuracy and validity of the Voting Session. | 09-23-2010 |

Each RSID is randomly generated and extremely difficult to guess, making it impossible to counterfeit any significant number of Ballots or Registrations. Anonymity is provided to Voters by optional private WHOLE Ballot exchanges among Registered Voters within their Voting Region. Completed MASTER Ballots are delivered by the Due Date to Officials by mail or electronically (using a security verification code) via Internet, Telephone, Fax, Email or interactive Television. Referring to RECEIPT Ballot(s), any Voter may use a telephone or electronic device(s) connected to the Internet to verify accurate processing of their MASTER Ballot. | 06-16-2011 |
20140365281 | COMPUTERIZED VOTING SYSTEM - Officials using computers research then create lists of Certified Registered Voters and Proxies whom are sent computer encoded ballots and return containers. Each Ballot and correlated Receipt(s) share a unique Random Symbolic Identifier (RSID) and embedded Security Elements to prevent counterfeiting. For privacy, before voting, Voters-Proxies optionally exchange ballots within their Voting Region, validating ballots by submitting Ballot Validation RSID to Officials. Voter-Proxy completes ballot(s), adds Personal Security Identifier(s), receives ballot receipt, delivery receipt upon sending ballot to Officials via postal mail, Interactive Television, Internet, Telephone, Fax, Email, In-person. Received ballots are scanned and recorded; if timely and authentic, voter selections are extracted, tallied if properly marked, and published to Voters' private data area accessed via Receipt RSID and passcode. Official devices, communications computer processing partially managed and optimized by computers running artificial intelligence software programs. After voting ends, Officials publish data for verification. | 12-11-2014 |
