Publication number: 20160296112Abstract: A handheld, ocular imaging device and system that employs the camera, processor and programming of a mobile phone, tablet or other smart device coupled to optical elements and illumination elements that can be used to image the structures of the eye in home-based, ambulatory-care, hospital-based, or emergency-care settings, is presented. The modular device provides multi-functionality (fluorescein imaging, fluorescence, brightfield, infrared (IR) imaging, near-infrared (NIR) imaging) and multi-region imaging (retinal, corneal, external, etc.) of the eye along with the added features of image processing, storage and wireless data transmission for remote storage and evaluation. Acquired ocular images can also be transmitted directly from the device to the electronic medical records of a patient without the need for an intermediate computer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2016Publication date: October 13, 2016Applicant: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Daniel Fletcher, Robi Maamari, Neil Switz, Todd P.

Patent number: 9223787Abstract: Communications systems and methods for minimizing file corruption when communicating between a device and a host are provided. To initiate a file transfer section, a host can transfer data to a device on a primary communications channel. The device can then temporarily store the received data in a memory circuit until a command is received indicating that the file has been completely transferred. In order to avoid interfering with the data transfer, the host can provide such a command to the device on a sideband communications channel. Upon receiving the command, the device can integrate the received data into its file system by transferring the data from the memory circuit to a more permanent storage component. If the communications interface is disconnected before such a command is received, the temporarily stored data can be considered incomplete and can be deleted.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Kenneth Herman, Daniel Fletcher, Matthew Rogers

Publication number: 20150348038Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor, a request to initiate a money transfer transaction between a sending party and a receiving party. The request may include information identifying an account associated with the receiving party. The method includes initiating, by the processor, validation of the account associated with the receiving party. The method includes initiating, by the processor, the money transfer transaction between the sending party and the receiving party in response to a determination that the account associated with the receiving party is valid. Initiation of the money transfer transaction causes funds to be deposited into the account associated with the receiving party.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2014Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: Moneygram International, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Melvin Donald Femrite, Wendi Schlarb, Zahid Zoebbhai Kalolwala, Daniel Fletcher Bontrager, Kenneth Luk-Pat, Janice Chiew Keuk Ong, Alex Chan Lim, Elena Kuznetsov, Lisa Marie Minogue

Publication number: 20080025172Abstract: Digital audio can be transferred between a portable media player and an accessory. In one embodiment, an interface protocol is used to determine the sample rate capabilities of an accessory, allowing digital audio data for a track to be transmitted to the accessory at a sample rate supported by the accessory. When the sample rate of an audio track is not supported by the accessory, the media player can convert the sample rate of the track to a rate supported by the accessory and transmit the track after conversion. The media player also can use the interface protocol to inform the accessory if the sampling rate should be changed, e.g., due to tracks having different sample rates. The accessory then can send a request to the media player to change the sample rate. The media player then can transmit the digital audio data using the new sample rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul Holden, Daniel Fletcher, Barry Twycross, John Archibald, Donald Novotney, John Filson, David Tupman
