Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110011859Device for Transfer of Product from Refill Container to Applicator Container Without Exposure to Atmosphere - An open ended cylindrical connector device includes a) an internally smooth-bored first docking port at one end; b) an internally screw threaded second docking port at the other end; and c) a unidirectional hole-cutter/membrane-piercing arrangement deployed across the diameter of the cylindrical device with its cutting/piercing edges occupying the first docking port. The product is transferred from a sealed donating container to a receiving container by screwing the receiving container into the second docking port and subsequently pressing a sealed donating container into the first docking port. The seal on the donating container is punctured by the hole-cutter and releases the product for transfer through the cylindrical connector to the receiving container. The donating container docking port may be closed with a removable cap and the cylindrical connector used as a donating container screw cap.01-20-2011

20080278355INTRUSION DETECTION USING A CAPACITANCE SENSITIVE TOUCHPAD - A capacitance sensitive proximity and touch-sensitive detection device having an XY electrode grid sensor, wherein a compensation matrix is created when the capacitance sensitive touchpad is installed within a PIN Entry Device (PED), wherein the compensation matrix enables the capacitance sensitive touchpad to compensate and be balanced for the operating environment of the PED, and wherein physical keys of a keypad can be also be individually identified as an actuated key by using a unique “key profile” for each key, and wherein the insertion of a foreign conductive and/or dielectric material such as an intruding sensor in proximity of the XY electrode grid sensor of the touchpad will cause an imbalance in the electrodes on the capacitance sensitive proximity and touch-sensitive detection device, thereby alerting detection circuitry that tampering has occurred with the PED.11-13-2008
20090205878TOUCHPAD FOR PROVIDING TOUCH STICK FUNCTIONALITY IN A GAME CONTROLLER FOR PROVIDING RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE POSITION INPUT - A touchpad used in place of a touch stick in a video game controller, wherein the touchpad provides either absolute or relative position information to a processor, wherein the touchpad can be switched between absolute and relative position mode, and wherein the relative mode of operation cannot be performed by a touch stick, thereby adding new functionality to a video game controller.08-20-2009
20100201631METHOD OF DETECTING AND TRACKING MULTIPLE OBJECTS ON A TOUCHPAD USING A DATA COLLECTION ALGORITHM THAT ONLY DETECTS AN OUTER EDGE OF THE OBJECTS AND THEN ASSUMES THAT THE OUTER EDGES DEFINE A SINGLE LARGE OBJECT - A system and method for detecting and tracking multiple objects on a touchpad or touchscreen, wherein the method provides a new data collection algorithm, wherein the method reduces a calculation burden on a processor performing detection and tracking algorithms, wherein multiple objects are treated as elements of a single object and not as separate objects, wherein the location of the objects are treated as end-points of a single object when two objects are detected, and treated as a perimeter or boundary when more than two objects are detected.08-12-2010

20100063903HIERARCHICALLY APPLIED RULES ENGINE ("HARE") - An electronic transaction decision module is provided that includes a dynamic rules engine, processing system and interfaces to enable various participants in an electronic payment environment to establish and modify the rules, condition values, fees and rewards associated with electronic transactions. Participants in electronic financial or other economic transactions are authorized and enabled to define multiple rules, condition values, fees and rewards within which they either authorize or deny the consummation of a financial transaction and define its impact upon various participants, and to dynamically and efficiently modify those rules, condition values, fees and rewards when desired. Rules, condition values, fees and rewards may be set and evaluated hierarchically based on the participant's relative authority with respect to each attribute. Embodiments of the invention enable the rapid deployment and real-time management of card and mobile payment programs and provide access to card program functions not only by card issuers and program managers, but also by individual cardholders.03-11-2010
