Patent number: 10853796Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically presenting workflow(s) in an application based at least partly on detected signal(s). A radio-frequency signal may be emitted from a transceiver included in, attached to, or otherwise associated with a payment card. The signal may be received by a transceiver of a user device when the card is in proximity to the device and, in response, an application may launch a workflow including one or more pages of content in the application. The launched workflow may include functionality for activating a payment card, based on a determination that the card is not yet activated. The launched workflow may also include functionality for viewing account information, based on a determination that the card is already activated.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Matthew David Nolte, William Michael Webb, Shiloh Huff, Shane J.

Publication number: 20070212257Abstract: Method and apparatus for use with a probe beam and detector for detecting the presence of a target analyte in a sample. The apparatus includes a substrate; and a biolayer located on the substrate designed to react to target analyte when the sample is deposited on the biolayer. The substrate can be selected to substantially minimize reflectance by the substrate while substantially maintaining scattering by the target analyte. The substrate can be designed so waves reflected by the substrate are substantially in quadrature with waves scattered by target analyte; or so waves reflected by the substrate and scattered by target analyte interfere in the far field and directly create intensity modulation detectable by the detector. The biolayer can include a plurality of spots, and the spots can be grouped into unit cells having specific antibodies and non-specific antibodies for reacting with target analyte.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: David Nolte, Manoj Varma, Ming Zhao
