Abstract: A wear apparel fit system on a global computer network enables, the apparel designer to provide apparel data to the fit system, a merchant interface that enables the apparel data to be embedded in a merchant's prior art apparel web pages, a customer of the apparel merchant, using a client computer connected to the global computer network with the ability to shop the apparel merchants display an apparel web page. The web page has a Try-it-on link displayed next to the display of the apparel on the merchant's web page that retrieves a fit program from a third party server, executes the fit program in the client and displays web pages, to try on the apparel for fit using visual color coded indicators overlaid over a wire line image of the customer. The fit system provides privacy to customer by not using a central database system for customer data.

Abstract: A system of security for global computer transactions that provides a reverse-authentication authority system that enables a client to authenticate the server to the client first before the user of a client proceed to enter their user id and password or other personal data in the web page to assure them that the web page did indeed originate from the secure web server and not from an imposter. The system uses an authentication code that is given to the client user when they call a reverse-authentication server by an out-of-band method such as a telephone network, different than the global network and which then appears in the part of the web page for them to visually see and compare the one they have received in the telephone call to the server.

Abstract: A payment card (30) and payment system (12) that can be used by a customer (20) to perform a transaction with a merchant (22) using an existing bankcard (31) of the customer (20). In some of the embodiments, the payment card (30) provides a level of security to the customer (20) because the payment card (30) does not identify the customer (20) by name. Further, the card number and/or expiration date of the bankcard (31) is not disclosed to the merchant (22).

Abstract: Systems for methods for remote user authentication by using a cellular phone and an authentication system that generates and uses transient pass codes. The Authentication system is used to store a user's existing passwords; alternatively, the authentication system creates on demand a transient random pass code that is good for a limited duration. The transient pass codes may also be used in the packets that enable each packet to be individually authenticated in the firewall. When the user has forgotten the password in a traditional system, alternatively, without the need to create or remember passwords, user can use transient pass codes. The user retrieves the password or the pass code via a cell telephone call to the authentication system, before logging on to the system.

Abstract: A multi-factor remote user authentication card-device has innovative features that enable this one card-device itself to function and accomplish a multi-factor remote user authentication of “what you know”, “what you have”, “where you are” and “what you are”, to a network. In one embodiments of the card-device, one card-device enables two-factor authentication of “what you have” and “what you are”. In another embodiment, one card-device enables two-factor authentication of “what you know” and “what you have”. In yet another embodiment, one card-device enables three-factor authentication of “what you know”, “what you have”, and “what you are”. In yet another embodiment, one card-device enables four-factor authentication of “what you know”, “what you have”, “where you are”, and “what you are”.

Abstract: A random wave envelope is created from a set of bounded random numbers by additively combining a triangle, a square and a sine wave. The random wave envelope is then used to create a sequence of wave random numbers from the wave envelope, which are used to generate random-variant keys for encryption in place of the pre-placed encryption key. An ambiguity envelope is thus created over the transmission of data packets as random-variant-keys are used that are distinct and separate for each packet and may also be distinct and separate for each incoming and outgoing packet. The random-variant keys are only created at the time of the actual use for encrypting or decrypting a data packet and not before and then discarded after one time use. The random-variant keys may be used in wireless network using wireless access points, cellular phone and data networks and ad hoc mobile wireless networks.

Abstract: This invention embodies six different teeth cleaning aspects in one teeth cleaning apparatus. These aspects are: (i) use of an abrasive surface supported by a pad that is rubbed for cleaning exposed and easily reachable part of the teeth, (ii) use of bristles for reaching spaces between teeth and gum lines and between two teeth, (iii) use of a sponge under the abrasive surface that delivers plaque cleaning and anti-bacterial agent to the teeth surface, (iv) use of a woven cloth like surface with the ability to absorb and remove the food/acid film from the teeth, (v) ability to clean teeth with little or no use of water, (vi) use of a one time throw away cleaning head for better hygiene.

Abstract: A router based authentication system provides packet level authentication of incoming data packets and eliminates the risk of having data packets come in to the network whose source cannot be authenticated. In Router Based Authentication System (RBAS), a prior art router is adapted with an authentication function that works in conjunction with a security function in the client. Alternatively, a new router can be built that embeds an authentication function. The router based authentication function includes: (i) an ability to receive a telephone call and verify the caller by comparing with pre-stored caller id, (ii) generate a random alphanumeric code, deliver to the caller, and save in the system, (iii) reject all packets from the client that do not have a passkey embedded in the header of the packet.

Abstract: An identity security system (10) that reduces the likelihood of identity theft and fraud includes a central system (12) and a portable wireless device (15). The central system (12) stores personal data of a party including information regarding one or more payment cards of the party, one or more bank accounts of the party, driver license data of the party, and/or other identification data of the party. The wireless device (15) electronically connects to the central system (12). With the present system, using the wireless device (15), the party can pay for a transaction using the one or more of the payment cards, cause funds to be transferred to or from the bank accounts and/or provide identifying data if necessary.

Abstract: An educational video game with a hide and seek game software and a dynamic message entry and display method which can be played among many players in a fixed location or over the Internet is disclosed. The hide and seek game software has functions that enable the display of a landscape, a hide character, a seek character, and enable the movement of a hide character to hide in the features of a landscape and enable the movement of a seek character to seek the hide character. The game software display a central area with a landscape and a surrounding area, which is used as a space for dynamic display of messages based on age, gender and geographic location of the players. The messages may be from a group of types of commercial, school and community events, social messages for cultivating good habits, and personal messages from friends and relatives.
