Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100153272MOBILE DEVICE INITIATED TRANSACTION - One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method including receiving an alias identifier associated with an account associated with a presenter, determining an associated trusted party using the alias identifier, sending a verification request message to the trusted party after determining the associated trusted party, and receiving a verification response message06-17-2010
20110178925Token Based Transaction Authentication - A token based transaction authentication system is disclosed. Issuer, merchants, and a payment processing network generate unique tokens or keys to authenticate messages between themselves and to authenticate a sending entity or consumer as they are redirected between entities. The tokens are also used to identify the particular authentication thread a message or sending entity is associated with. The sending entity authentication occurs over a web-based channel or a mobile based channel.07-21-2011
20110178926Remote Variable Authentication Processing - A remote variable authentication processing system is disclosed. A sending entity initiates a remote payment using an alias over an initiation channel. The alias may be associated with one or more nicknames that identify portable consumer devices and metadata. The metadata describes which channels are available for authentication. The sending entity selects a nickname and an associated authentication channel. The sending entity authenticates with an issuer over the selected authentication channel.07-21-2011
20110178927VERIFICATION MECHANISM - Systems, apparatuses, and methods for receiving a verification message with information that includes a first portion but not a second portion of an account identifier associated with an account of a consumer. Upon receiving the verification message, searching for the account using the information of the verification message.07-21-2011

20080260534BLADE/DISK DOVETAIL BACKCUT FOR BLADE/DISK STRESS REDUCTION (7FA+E, STAGE 1) - Blade load path on a gas turbine disk can be diverted to provide a significant disk fatigue life benefit. A plurality of gas turbine blades are attachable to a gas turbine disk, where each of the gas turbine blades includes a blade dovetail engageable in a correspondingly-shaped dovetail slot in the gas turbine disk. In order to reduce gas turbine disk stress, an optimal material removal area is defined according to blade and/or disk geometry to maximize a balance between stress reduction on the gas turbine disk, a useful life of the gas turbine blade, and maintaining or improving the aeromechanical behavior of the gas turbine blade. Removing material from the material removal area effects the maximized balance.10-23-2008

20110179049Automatic Aggregation Across Data Stores and Content Types - Project-related data may be aggregated from various data sources, given context, and may be stored in a data repository or organizational knowledge base that may be available to and accessed by others. Documents, emails, contact information, calendar data, social networking data, and any other content that is related to a project may be brought together within a single user interface, irrespective of its data type. A user may organize and understand content, discover relevant information, and act on it without regard to where the information resides or how it was created.07-21-2011
20110179060Automatic Context Discovery - An automatic discovery of content to add to a data store for a project is disclosed. A data item may be parsed for data features that are contextually relevant to a given project or task. Discovered interesting data may be extracted and mapped to various search mechanisms. A search may be built and applied to various data sources to discover data items based on the contextually relevant data features. Search results from various search mechanisms may be displayed in a single user interface and may be presented to a user.07-21-2011
20110179061Extraction and Publication of Reusable Organizational Knowledge - An analysis module, when triggered by a synchronization framework when a new data item is added to a project data store, runs a series of analysis feature extractors on the new content. An analysis may be conducted, and features of interest may be extracted from the data item. The analysis utilizes natural language processing, as well as other technologies, to provide an automatic or semi-automatic extraction of information. The extracted features of interest are saved as metadata within the project data store, and are associated with the data item from which it was extracted. The analysis module may be utilized to discover additional information that may be gleaned from content that is already in the project data store.07-21-2011

20090060429Filled Core Optical Fiber Spliced to Optical Fiber and Method of Making the Same - A filled-core optical fiber (03-05-2009
20090320527APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TAPERING OPTICAL FIBERS TO CONFORM TO A DESIRED RADIAL PROFILE - An apparatus and method for tapering an optical fiber segment having an initial radial profile to substantially conform to a pre-specifiable desired radial profile for controlling mutually coordinated elongation and softening of different axial portions of the segment according to control parameters derivable based on a normalized axial coordinate reference by which points of the initial profile map to corresponding points of the desired profile. The softening and/or elongation may progress substantially in either a step-wise, time-discrete manner or time-continuously. The invention is useful for forming tapered fused couplers as well as for tapering individual fibers.12-31-2009
20110042359PLASMA HEATING DEVICE FOR AN OPTICAL FIBER AND RELATED METHODS - A heating device for an optical fiber may include a crucible body having an optical fiber receiving slotted passageway therein for receiving the optical fiber therein, and a heating element receiving passageway therein adjacent the optical fiber receiving slotted passageway and spaced apart therefrom. The heating device may further include a respective electrically powered plasma heating element enclosed within the heating element receiving passageway for heating the optical fiber within the optical fiber receiving slotted passageway.02-24-2011
20110042367FILAMENT HEATING DEVICE FOR AN OPTICAL FIBER AND RELATED METHODS - A heating device for an optical fiber may include a crucible body having an optical fiber receiving slotted passageway therein for receiving the optical fiber therein, and a heating element receiving passageway therein adjacent the optical fiber receiving slotted passageway and spaced apart therefrom. The heating device may include a respective electrically powered resistance heating element enclosed within the heating element receiving passageway for heating the optical fiber within the optical fiber receiving slotted passageway.02-24-2011
