20080271116 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENROLLING IN A BIOMETRIC SYSTEM - The present invention is a system and method of enrolling potential system users for a biometric system for identity verification. Potential system user information is entered into the system, either by the user or a system operator, and is stored as a partially-enabled user record. The user of a partially-enabled user record fully enables the record by presenting information previously stored in the user record and presenting the remainder of user information necessary to complete record activation. Enrollment data is used to authenticate the system user's identity and authorize related transaction accesses in a biometric system for identity verification. | 10-30-2008 |
20090006239 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CATEGORIZING TRANSACTIONS - A system and method of allowing individuals to categorize transaction information. A user of the system may establish transaction identifiers that may be employed during or subsequent to a transaction in order to categorize transaction information. | 01-01-2009 |
20090070270 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PURCHASE BENEFITS AT A POINT OF SALE - A system and method of providing users with an accessible system and convenient method for conducting purchase benefit transactions. When enrolling in a biometric authorization system, a user may authorize the system to apply for purchase benefits on the user's behalf at subsequent transactions. | 03-12-2009 |
20090099944 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPAID BIOMETRIC REDEMPTION ACCOUNTS - A system and method of offering a redemption account that allows users to purchase in advance and subsequently redeem products and services from one or more vendors that are affiliated with the system. The present invention imparts a process by which users enrolled in a biometric authorization system can access a redemption account for advance purchased products and services by submitting their biometric data. Information stored in the user record can then be utilized to enable the fulfillment of the advance purchase. | 04-16-2009 |

20090159750 | HOLDER FOR FIXING COMPONENTS, IN PARTICULAR LINES, INSIDE AN AIRCRAFT WITHOUT USING HOLES - Disclosed is a holder for fixing all types of component, in particular lines, without using holes and largely without using tools inside a conventional fuselage structure of an aircraft with stringers and annular formers, the formers each being provided with an angle bracket at crossing points between a stringer and an annular former. The holder is configured so as to be split in two with a lower part and an upper part which can be connected thereto, the lower part being slidable onto an angle bracket. By attaching the upper part to the lower part, the holder is positionally fixed at the crossing point in the top region of an annular former. It is fixed in its final position by connecting the holder to a transverse line holder as a function element by means of an expansion pin or other connection elements. Other alternative function elements for fixing the components, such as a longitudinal line holder, a transverse batten or a longitudinal batten for specific installation requirements, may, if necessary, be combined with at least one holder so as to form holder arrangement with any desired degree of complexity. | 06-25-2009 |
20100133261 | DEVICE FOR CURING A PLASTIC MATERIAL - The invention relates to a device for curing a plastic material, in particular a sealing compound and/or a filling compound for tolerance adjustment or gap filling, respectively, wherein the plastic material is at least partly inserted in a gap area between two components, and wherein at least one of the components is made of a fiber reinforced plastic material, in particular of a carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin. According to the invention the device is provided with at least one electromagnetic inductor for a locally defined heating of the gap area and for curing the plastic material arranged in the gap area. Due to the electromagnetic inductor which might be a linear inductor or a circular inductor a contact-less and fast curing of the plastic material is possible. | 06-03-2010 |
20120211144 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR JOINING COMPONENTS - A method for joining a first and a second component, at least one of which comprises a fibre-reinforced plastics material. The components are arranged in relation to one another in such a way that a gap region remains between the first and the second component. The gap region is filled, at least in portions, with an uncured plastics material filler in which nanoparticles are dispersed. Energy is introduced locally into the nanoparticles in order to cure the plastics material filler. In another aspect, the invention provides a device for joining two components. | 08-23-2012 |
20130266770 | Method and apparatus for joining parts to be joined which are subject to tolerance - A method for joining parts to be joined which are subject to tolerance in the aerospace sector. The method involves determining the geometric data of a first and second part to be joined, determining the joining gap dimensions of the first and second parts from the determined geometric data and arranging a plurality of shape elements which can be connected together in planar manner in a first region of a surface of the first part. The method moreover comprises application of a first adhesive layer onto the plurality of shape elements and in a second region of the surface of the first part. The method finally involves joining the first and second parts, the first adhesive layer being brought into contact with the surface of the second part. A corresponding apparatus is provided for joining parts which are subject to tolerance in the aerospace sector. | 10-10-2013 |
