  • Publication number: 20130138570
    Abstract: A user may be willing to purchase items or participate in a pay-for service offered by a service provider. A service provider may wish to verify characteristics of the user prior to allowing transactions to take place, and may want to secure the transactions once the transactions are allowed. A credential issued to a user and a transaction application uploaded to a user device may be used to secure transactions between the user and a service provider interface, such as a webserver or a point-of-sale. The transaction application may capture real-time user data and comparing the real-time user data to prior user data stored on the credential, authenticate the service provider interface to the user and the user to the service provider interface; and establish an encrypted session between the service provider interface and the transaction application adapted to authenticate the transactions between the user and the service provider interface.

  • Patent number: 7574899
    Abstract: A contaminant detector disposed within a base fluid for detecting the presence of a contaminating fluid includes a conductive core, a conductive sensor probe extending from the core in non-conductive relation, and a circuit board within the core. The circuit board is electrically connected to the sensor probe and electrically insulated from the core. Electrical power applied to the core creates a closed field loop for measuring the localized capacitance of the base fluid. When sufficient contaminating fluid exists in the base fluid to change the localized capacitance, an alarm is sounded to indicate the presence of the contaminating fluid.

  • Publication number: 20080039292
    Abstract: A physical training apparatus (10) has a main frame (11) having a front portion (15) and a back portion (16), an upright portion (17) spaced from the front portion (15) and moveable carriage (12) slidable with respect to the front portion (15) of the main frame (11). A cable (14) is connected by one of its ends to the carriage (12) and extends from the front portion (15) to the upright portion (17). A weight (13) is pivotally mounted on the upright portion (17) and is connected to the other end of the cable (14) and is positioned above the base of the main frame rearward of the front portion (17), so that a driving force on the carriage (12) causes the weight (14) to rise thereby providing resistance to the driving force on the carriage (12).

  • Publication number: 20070232798
    Abstract: Oligonucleotide analogs are disclosed having pyrimidine monomeric sub-units therein that are modified at the 2? and 5? positions. Monomeric sub-units having these modifications may be further modified at the 2? position. Improved processes for the synthesis of 2?-O-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides are also provided. The processes feature alkylation of a 2,2?-anhydropyrimidine nucleoside or a 2S,2?-anhydropyrimidine nucleoside with a weak nucleophile in the presence of a Lewis acid.
