Abstract: Encoding downhole data in nucleic acid molecules provides increased speed accuracy in the communication of downhole data to the surface. Nucleic acid molecules can be coded with downhole data using a telemetry module that comprises a microfluidic system to perform an encoding process that encodes carrier nucleic acid molecules with substitute sequences or segments at specific locations that comprise retrieved or acquired downhole data. The encoded carrier nucleic acid molecules are injected into a downhole fluid that is circulated to the surface. Once the encoded carrier nucleic acid molecules reach the surface, the information can be decoded and analyzed. Each carrier nucleic acid molecule may be preconfigured with a header. The header may comprise information that allows N for ease in coding and recombining downhole data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for more secure card transactions. The security is generated by the use of a dynamic transaction number which is valid for only a single predetermined time interval. The transaction number is generated through a two step process. In a first step, time is used as an input to a transaction number function. The transaction number function outputs more than 16 digits. The second step uses the more than 16 digits for input and uses a ruleset to strip at least one digit to determine the transaction number valid for the predetermined time interval.

Abstract: A multi-layer piezoelectric microactuator assembly has at least one poled and active piezoelectric layer and one poled but inactive piezoelectric layer. The poled but inactive layer acts as a constraining layer in resisting expansion or contract of the first piezoelectric layer thereby reducing or eliminating bending of the assembly as installed in an environment, thereby increasing the effective stroke length of the assembly. Poling only a single layer would induce stresses into the device; hence, polling both piezoelectric layers even though only one layer will be active in use reduces stresses in the device and therefore increases reliability.
