20120028579METHOD OF DETECTING A NFC DEVICE EMULATING SEVERAL CONTACTLESS CARDS WHICH MAY USE A PLURALITY OF PROTOCOLS - The invention is a method of managing a NFC transaction between two hosts and a reader device. The two hosts are embedded in NFC devices and are intended to be identified by the reader device during an anti-collision phase through a first identifier and a second identifier respectively. The first identifier comprises a variable part. The method includes the steps of generating the first identifier, the variable part of the first identifier and the second identifier comprising a common pattern, looking for a common pattern into the first and second identifiers on the reader device side, and if a common pattern is found and if the variable part of the first identifier comprises said common pattern, concluding that the first and second hosts are embedded in a unique NFC device.02-02-2012

20120034868METHOD OF PRESELECTING AT LEAST ONE APPLICATION IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE COMPRISING AN NFC SYSTEM - The invention relates to a method for the preselection of at least one application hosted in a secure or non-embedded element in a mobile communication device comprising an NFC system, the said device being capable of accessing and reading data stored in a target NFC system, of the contactless tag or card type, the said NFC system being capable of operating in at least two communication modes including a reader mode, and a card emulation mode, or a Peer-to-Peer mode. When the NFC system is in the reader mode, an application is preselected during a stage wherein data stored in the said target NFC system are read.02-09-2012

20090020553FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR DISPENSING LIQUID FLAVORINGS - A fluid dispensing apparatus includes a pulse generator coupled to a pump that operates in discrete cycles. Each cycle includes a first part in which fluid is drawn into the pump through an inlet, and a second part in which fluid is expelled from the pump through an outlet. Each cycle results in a discrete, consistent volume of fluid being expelled. The pulse generator transmits discrete pulses to the pump, causing the pump to operate for a set number of cycles per pulse. The total number of cycles is a multiple of the number of pulses transmitted, so that the number of pulses determines the volume of fluid dispensed. Alternatively, the pump is driven through increments of the second part of the cycle, with the number of pulses supplied to the pump determining the proportion of the second part of the cycle completed, and therefore the volume of fluid dispensed.01-22-2009

20090125486Multi-Tier Employment Model for Human Capital Management - A three-tier employment model provides flexibility when modeling even moderately complex relationships, such as where an employee has multiple job tasks or assignments for an employer. In such an example, a top level can store information for each employee defining the type of relationship that exists between the employee and the employer, such as where the employee works for multiple entities of the employer. A middle level can capture employment terms and conditions that are associated with the relationship(s), as well as one or many work assignments, such as salary information for each assignment. A bottom level can store the actual details of the work to be performed. A three-tier approach thus provides significant flexibility in modeling the employment of a person for an enterprise, and allows companies and enterprises to easily record the reality of their complex work relationships.05-14-2009
