  • USE OF APPLICATION IDENTIFIER AND ENCRYPTED PASSWORD FOR APPLICATION SERVICE ACCESS
    Publication number: 20130198510
    Abstract: To support authentication of a mobile device, an application server obtains an application identifier and password and creates an encrypted value by encrypting a combination of the password and a time-based value. The application server transmits the application identifier and encrypted value over a communication network to the mobile device as a credential, and the mobile device sends the credential over the network to a secure server providing an application assistance service. The secure server independently computes an encrypted value by encrypting the combination of the password and the time-based value. If the encrypted value from the received credential matches the encrypted value computed by the secure server, that server grants access to the assistance service for the mobile device.

  • INKJET PRINT HEAD
    Publication number: 20130194351
    Abstract: In an inkjet print head an actuation chamber substantially extends in a first direction and the actuation chamber is associated with a piezo actuator arranged to generate a pressure wave in the actuation chamber. The pressure wave propagates in said first direction. A nozzle is associated with the actuation chamber such that a droplet may be expelled through the nozzle upon generation of the pressure wave in the actuation chamber. A reservoir is in fluid communication with the actuation chamber via an inlet and an outlet of the actuation chamber. A pump means is provided for pumping ink from the reservoir, via the inlet, through the actuation chamber, via the outlet back into said reservoir. The print head is provided with a means for reflecting the pressure wave at the outlet of the actuation chamber for enabling to generate a sufficient pressure at the nozzle for expelling the droplet.

  • COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED ANIMAL SHELTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130198175
    Abstract: The system allows users seeking to adopt to search based on the desired attributes of an animal and the availability of such animals. It allows a user to determine the breed they most prefer adopt. Once an animal is selected, a live feed of the animal can be viewed. If the user wants to adopt, the system electronically provides an application which the system forwards to the shelter where the animal is located for review. Revenues collected from advertising and donations are automatically shared with the shelters through the system. The system acts as to facilitate intra-shelter transfers and as a lost and found. It allows shelter administrators to manage volunteers, fosters and staff. It provides a single user-accessible location to store medical history and other records relating to the adopted pet. It can notify the user when an animal of the desired breed becomes available.
