Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing account information are provided. For example, an indication to launch an application that may provide account information may be received. A determination may be made regarding whether the indication is an initial interaction with the application. If the indication is an initial interaction, one or more credentials may be received via an interface that may be displayed via the application. If the indication is not the initial interaction, a token may be accessed. A request that may include the credentials or token may then be generated and transmitted such that credentials or token may be used to authenticate a device that includes the application and a user thereof, a new token may be generated, and a response with the new token and/or account information may be transmitted. The account information may then be displayed by an interface of the application.

Abstract: A variable diffuser for a centrifugal compressor comprises a passage between opposing disc faces and a plurality of vanes extending therethrough with a fixed angle relative to the engine centerline. Axial displacement between the opposing disc faces is variable. The vanes extend through one of the opposing disc faces as that disc face is axially translated.

Abstract: The document management system comprises a remote document repository arranged to receive and store a document; extract data from or related to the document; and perform an action based on the extracted data.

Abstract: This invention relates to the identification of a nucleic acid molecule. In particular, this invention relates to a method of using an oligonucleotide designed to a variable region of a nucleic acid molecule to identify A nucleic acid molecule.

Abstract: A strip ejection system for holding and ejecting a strip is provided. The system includes a body and a strip movement section. The strip moving section includes all elements of the system that are involved with moving the strip, including a pressing element for pressing against the strip to move the strip from a first position to a second position. The pressing element is the only element of the strip movement section that is movable relative to the body.

Abstract: A slave radio station establishes communization with a master radio station by transmitting a signal intermittently, listening for a response, and saving power by deactivating its transmitter and receiver at other times. When the master radio station responds, the slave station may synchronize periods of receiver activation with a beacon signal transmitted periodically by the master station and may cease transmission of the intermittent signal.

Abstract: A system and method of manufacturing improved wear ring assemblies and positive pressure shaft seals. The wear ring assemblies are made from stacked layers of flat metal. Different shaped component parts of the wear ring assemblies are cut from various sheets of metal. The component parts are stacked to form different sections of the wear ring assemblies. The stacked component parts are welded or otherwise bound together. The resulting sections of the wear ring assemblies are then assembled to form the annular structure of a full wear ring assembly. The result is a wear ring assembly that is both easy and inexpensive to produce.

Abstract: A method of analyzing nucleic acid sequence data produced by automated sequencer comprises scaling the data according to a map of relative heights of homozygous base data. An apparatus for conducting the method comprises means for scaling the data according to a map of relative heights of homozygous base data.

Abstract: Improved versatility, reliability and performance for field-deployable spatial positioning or measurement systems that use rotating laser fans or beams. Teachings include [1] A system integrated field-deployable length standard uses a reelable tape with positional indents; [2] the use of labyrinth seals at interface volumes between rotating laser heads and transmitter assemblies to prevent ingress of contaminants and allow for elimination of the use of rotary seals; [3] new dynamic leveling techniques to plumb positional laser transmitter systems; [4] strobe beam configurations for improved near/far performance; and [5] a vertical mode sensing scheme that allows switching to measuring tall structures when needed.

Abstract: A security container has two dished parts (1, 2) that can be closed together rim (6) to rim (11), irreversibly engaging and making inaccessible a snap fitting (7, 13) within the container. A strop (3) with loops (4) in its ends has those loops placed over part of the snap fitting (13) before closure, leaving its bight (5) outside. The strop (3) is thus made captive when the container is closed. The strop (5) passes through an aperture formed by cutouts (10, 12) in the rims (6, 11).
