Abstract: A device and method for waveform transmission of transaction card data to a merchant point-of-sale device are provided. The device includes a memory device for storing data, a processor, and a transmitter. The device is programmed to receive transaction card data that mimics data stored within a magnetic stripe associated with a transaction card, convert the transaction card data to a first data file for storage within the memory device, transmit the first data file to the transmitter, and transmit a first waveform from the transmitter to the POS device, wherein the first waveform includes changes in a magnetic field that represent the transaction card data.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for managing a group chat during an ecommerce session is provided. The method includes initiating a chat session between at least a first client computer device associated with a first participant and a second client computer device associated with a second participant, and sharing at least one view of an ecommerce website with the first client computer device and the second client computer device. The first client computer device and the second client computer device are configured to display the at least one view of the ecommerce website. The at least one view includes at least one purchasable item. The method also includes initiating a purchase transaction for the at least one purchasable item included in the at least one view, receiving payment information for the purchase transaction, and completing the purchase transaction based on the payment information.

Abstract: Viruses and other bioagents are of high medical and biodefense concern and their detection at concentrations well below the threshold necessary to cause health hazards continues to be a challenge with respect to sensitivity, specificity, and selectivity. Ideally, assays for accurate and real time detection of viral agents and other bioagents would not necessitate any pre-processing of the analyte, which would make them applicable for example to bodily fluids (blood, sputum) and man-made as well as naturally occurring bodies of water (pools, rivers). We describe herein a robust biosensor that combines the sensitivity of surface acoustic waves (SAW) generated at a frequency of 325 MHz with the specificity provided by antibodies and other ligands for the detection of viral agents.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of fabricating a mirror for use in limited rotation motor systems, said method comprising the steps of providing a mirror structure including at least one wall section, and exposing the at least one wall section to a fluid etching agent to thereby provide chemical milling of the mirror structure.

Abstract: Intraocular devices for use in and attached to the natural lens capsule of an eye are provided. The lens capsule may be maintained in a configuration to avoid post-operative changes that are deleterious to vision. Single or dual optic systems are provided, which may be accommodating. Combinations of devices to obtain dual optic systems are disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing financial payments between parties using an electronic payment computing device is provided. The method includes receiving a payee debit account identifier from a payee computing device, the payee debit account identifier associated with a payee debit account; creating a payee user account using the payee debit account identifier, wherein the payee user account is linked to the payee debit account; receiving a first payment request from the payee computing device requesting payment from a payor; generating a unique link for accessing a payment page associated with the first payment request; transmitting a second payment request to a payor computing device, wherein the second payment request includes the unique link; receiving a payment response from the payor computing device authorizing payment from a payor debit account to the payee; and prompting a transfer of funds from the payor debit account to the payee debit account.

Abstract: Lens epithelial cells are destroyed and further growth is inhibited coincidental with eye surgery such as cataract surgery by heating the cells to a temperature above normal to thereby destroy the cells and inhibit future growth. The cells are heated by placement of a thermally conductive ring within the lens capsule and heating the ring thereby raising the temperature of lens epithelial cells adjacent to the ring.
