Credit card system and method
InactiveUS7136835B1Eliminate possibilityReduce possibilityComplete banking machinesCredit registering devices actuationSingle useComputer hardware
A credit card system is provided which has the added feature of providing additional limited-use credit card numbers and / or cards. These numbers and / or cards can be used for a single transaction, thereby reducing the potential for fraudulent reuse of these numbers and / or cards. The credit card system finds application to “card remote” transactions such as by phone or Internet. Additionally, when a single use credit card is used for “card present” transactions, so called “skimming” fraud is eliminated. Various other features enhance the credit card system which will allow secure trade without the use of elaborate encryption techniques.

Method for applying a drug coating to a medical device
A method for coating a medical device with a drug is provided. Energy, preferably thermal energy, is applied to a crystalline deposit of a drug on the surface of a medical device to increase the molecular mobility and form a conformable drug coating with a low density of micro-cracks and other mechanical defects that can degrade the coating toughness and effective adhesion to the device surface. In a preferred embodiment, solution evaporation methods are used to deposit a crystalline coating of an anti-inflammatory steroid on a medical electrode. Heat applied at a controlled temperature, for a predetermined amount of time, induces a solid-state phase change of the drug coating providing a smooth, uniform, well-attached, conformable coating to form a layer that will elute from the electrode over time when implanted in a patient's body.

Method of biomedical signal analysis including improved automatic segmentation
InactiveUS8332017B2Great confidenceIncrease contentMedical data miningElectrocardiographySliding time windowAutomatic segmentation
A method of analysing biomedical signals, for example electrocardiograms, by using a Hidden Markov Model for subsections of the signal. In the case of an electrocardiogram two Hidden Markov Models are used to detect respectively the start and end of the QT interval. The relationship between the QT interval and heart rate can be computed and a contemporaneous value for the slope of this relationship can be obtained by calculating the QT / RR relationship for all of the beats in a sliding time window based on the current beat. Portions of electrocardiograms taken on different days can efficiently and accurately be compared by selecting time windows of the ECGs at the same time of day, and looking for similar beats in those time windows.

An integrated wind turbine acoustic-noise and shadow-flicker recognition system, comprising monitors located at nearby locations and base-units installed in each wind turbine, is described. The system comprehensively addresses neighbors' concerns with potential sound- and flicker-based nuisance emissions. Each monitor includes a computer processor; a microphone and light-monitor; a two-way communication system for interaction with the base-unit; and a set of indicator-lights. Each base-unit includes a computer processor; a two-way communication system for interacting with local monitors; plus a display, data-ports, and programming interfaces. Collectively, computer processors in the monitors and base-units jointly assess acoustic, optical, and turbine operating data to signal a mitigation event. The methods used to determine a mitigation event are based on a unique signature-recognition methodology that relies on analysis of data received at both the turbine and at the monitored location.

Selective operating system patching/updating
ActiveUS20140325498A1Save storage spaceIncrease flexibilityProgram loading/initiatingMemory systemsOperational systemSoftware update
An application typically runs on top of an operating system. Some computing device have the ability to reboot and load a different operating system whenever an application or set of applications is run. If an old application requires an old operating system version, it is possible to load that OS instead. Every application can have its own version of the operating system. Only new applications or a small set of applications need to use the new OS—all the old applications may run their own older version of the OS. Patches or software updates can be applied only for particular applications. Other applications that need the same base OS but don't need the patch can skip using the patch. It is possible to determine what version the application is and selectively apply the patch based on the version of the application.
