David Gary Fowler, St. Thomas CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110110819Sanitization process for objects and sanitization chamber - The present invention provides a process for sanitizing an object. The process comprises: (i) placing the object to be sanitized in a substantially enclosed environment, the environment being at atmospheric pressure when the object is placed therein, (ii) providing a gaseous chlorine dioxide vapour in the environment, and (iii) exposing the gaseous chlorine dioxide vapour to the object to sanitize the object. The process includes maintaining a pressure in the environment at substantially atmospheric pressure.05-12-2011

20090269709Communication float - A communication float for an oceanographic instrument, such as a profiler, comprising an elongated buoyant float, connected at one to the instrument by means of a neutrally buoyant communication cable, and having an antenna mounted on the other end. The float is ballasted to float at an angle such that the antenna extends from the water when the float is on the surface of the water, and whereby the float is oriented substantially vertically when submerged. The communication float is configured to provide minimal effects on the profiler instrument for either the submerged or floating mode, and to maintain transmission while subjected to wave action on the ocean.10-29-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090086620METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING NETWORK CONFLICT - A resiliency-link having a master node and slave nodes may be used to automatically avoid network conflicts due to failure of a node stack. Any stack stub formed as a result of the failure of a stack node or link may use the resiliency-link to determine whether the stack Master node is still online and providing service. If communication over the resiliency-link determines that the original Master node is offline, a new stack stub takes over and provides the desired service. If the original Master node is still online, then the new stack stub takes an appropriate alternative or fallback action.04-02-2009

John H. Fowler, North Vancouver CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100123942ESTABLISHING ONE-DIMENSIONAL TRANSFORMS - One-dimensional color transforms are automatically calculated by identifying at least one device-independent color space curve, at least one device-dependent color space curve and at least one association amongst the curves. Depending on the motivation for creating the one-dimensional transform, different curves, associations and calculations can be used to generate the transforms without obtaining additional device measurements or iteratively adjusting transform values.05-20-2010

Justin Fowler, Wyndham Vale AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100036813APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SECURELY PROCESSING ELECTRONIC MAIL - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for securing processing electronic mail in encrypted form and enabling access to the encrypted emails. The emails are received and stored with a common encryption key in a database. The emails can subsequently be access via the common decryption key by accessing the database.02-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110202402MARKETING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - The present invention relates to real-time, automated marketing programs implementing one or more program rules matrix modules that calculate benefits to customers based on one or more customer identifier(s), one or more merchant identifier(s) and one or more customer behavior(s). In one embodiment, program rules matrix modules implement Points Multiplier Program(s) that award benefits in an accelerated fashion, based upon one or more qualifying customer identifier(s), merchant identifier(s), and customer behavior(s). Marketing programs are implemented using a host controller that communicates with a plurality of remote transaction systems to provide real-time, individualized, automated awards and sophisticated multi-variable analysis of transaction data. Another aspect of the present invention relates to systems and methods implementing a plurality of marketing programs, offered by a plurality of merchants or merchant groups, upon presentation of a qualifying identifier, such as a (single) transaction card. Yet another aspect of the present invention provides methods and systems enabling a “single-swipe” transaction, wherein data is selectively packeted and transmitted to one or more institutions following a single electronic reading of a transaction card.08-18-2011
