Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system includes a memory comprising instructions, an interface, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the interface. The interface is configured to receive one or more account access rules, the account access rules comprising restrictions on accessing an online account through one or more access methods, and receive, via a first access method, a request to access the online account. The processor is configured, when executing the instructions, to determine, based on the account access rules, whether the online account may be accessed using the first access method.

Abstract: A contamination removal system for continuous cleaning of contamination from an exposed contaminated surface of a substrate by creating and moving a laser induced shock wave array across the contaminated surface includes a laser beam source and laser beam delivery assembly receiving a beam generated at the laser beam source and directing the beam for the generation of a shock wave array. The beam delivery assembly includes mirrors and beam splitters which split the laser beam into many laser beams. The contamination removal system also includes a control assembly composed of an analog or digital controller and a motion controller linked to the operating components of the present system and ensuring proper operation thereof. A substrate motion control/holder assembly supports the substrate adjacent the beam delivery assembly.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method in which material is deposited upon a surface from an elongated beam having an aperture defined therein through which the material is moved by passive adsorption. The elongated beam can be substantially planar along substantially its entire length, can be oriented at an acute angle with respect to the surface during deposition processes, and can have a length no greater than about 2 mm. In some embodiments, the aperture can be elongated, can extend from a material reservoir to a location short of the terminal end of the elongated beam or through the terminal end of the elongated beam, and can have a portion extending through the thickness of the elongated beam.

Abstract: The present invention provides an indexed support substrate. The support substrate comprises at least one set of indexing features that are distinguishable from one another and from the surrounding substrate. The support substrate also comprises a set of useful domains. The indexing features are positioned on the substrate in such a way as to correspond to the useful domains in an identifying fashion.

Abstract: The invention is a method for the formation and analysis of novel miniature deposition domains. These deposition domains are placed on a surface to form a molecular array. The molecular array is scanned with an AFM to analyze molecular recognition events and the effect of introduced agents on defined molecular interactions. This approach can be carried out in a high throughput format, allowing rapid screening of thousands of molecular species in a solid state array. The procedures described here have the added benefit of allowing the measurement of changes in molecular binding events resulting from changes in the analysis environment or introduction of additional effector molecules to the assay system. The processes described herein are extremely useful in the search for compounds such as new drugs for treatment of undesirable physiological conditions.

Abstract: The invention is a solid state process for analyzing genomes by visualizing sequence specific markers (e.g., proteins that bind a defined DNA sequence elements) by scanning probe microscopy. The method includes linear display of the nucleic acid on a solid surface, image acquisition by the scanning probe microscope, and digital data analysis. The acts of the method result in a bar code type display of each fragment of the DNA sample. These bar codes are then used to place the fragments in the order they appear on the original DNA sample.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus that provide message data. A link to a message application is included in at least one web page for each event associated with the website for which message data is desired. A user accesses the web page, selects the link to the message application associated with the at least one event, and inputs user information, e.g., in response to a prompt to the user to input information. The user inputs user registration information if such information has not already been input by the user. The user information may be shared among websites and may be used to create a user event profile that is portable among websites. Message data is automatically sent to the user regarding the event, based on the input user information. The message data may be sent at a time determined according to the input user information. The message data may include information regarding the timing of the event.
