20110307714REFERENCE TOKEN SERVICE - A reference token service is herein described. In one embodiment, the reference token service receives raw data strings from trusted source applications associated with merchants or other users. Upon receipt of a given raw data string, the reference token service then identifies one or more reference token pools corresponding to a merchant that sent the raw data string, wherein each reference token pool includes a plurality of reference tokens with comprising formats and data structures compatible with the merchant. The raw data string is then sent to a crypto system for tokenization. The crypto system returns a crypto token to the reference token service, wherein the crypto token may not satisfy the specific formatting or data requirements of the merchant. The crypto token is then associated with a reference token corresponding to the merchant, and the reference token is provided to the merchant. The merchant is then able to use the reference token amongst various applications within the merchant's system to enable easy sharing and retrieval of the raw data string.12-15-2011

20080296619ADHESIVE BONDING WITH LOW TEMPERATURE GROWN AMORPHOUS OR POLYCRYSTALLINE COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTORS - Amorphous and polycrystalline III-V semiconductor including (Ga,As), (Al,As), (In,As), (Ga,N), and (Ga,P) materials were grown at low temperatures on semiconductor substrates. After growth, different substrates containing the low temperature grown material were pressed together in a pressure jig before being annealed. The annealing temperatures ranged from about 300° C. to 800° C. for annealing times between 30 minutes and 10 hours, depending on the bonding materials. The structures remained pressed together throughout the course of the annealing. Strong bonds were obtained for bonding layers between different substrates that were as thin as 3 nm and as thick as 600 nm. The bonds were ohmic with a relatively small resistance, optically transparent, and independent of the orientation of the underlying structures.12-04-2008

20080302048SWIMMING POOL SYSTEM WITH REINFORCED COMPOSITE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS - A swimming pool assembly having a plurality of side wall panels certain adjacent ones of which have juxtaposed apertured edge flanges joined together by compression plates each having planar blade and a first plurality of pre-alignment fasteners extending away from the plane of the blade through aligned apertures in each juxtaposed flange and engaging a flange plate surface opposite the blade to temporarily align the side wall panels. Each compression plate further includes a second plurality of alignment towers passing through additional aligned apertures in each juxtaposed flange terminating in wedge receiving slots. Wedges, upon being forced into respective slots, clamp the flanges tightly together. Adjacent panel flanges may further include FML flat surfaces oriented to compensate for panel flange draft angle whereby adjacent panels when clamped together present generally coplanar pool surfaces.12-11-2008
20090077905ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE SWIMMING POOL PANEL - A swimming pool includes a plurality of non-metal panels arranged in an end-to-end manner around a periphery of the swimming pool. Each panel includes a non-metal base material, an electrically conductive ground plane, and at least one bonding feature. The bonding features of the plurality of panels are electrically coupled together and bonded to ground.03-26-2009
