Abstract: The present disclosure provides an effective solution to an entity or an organization by enabling an end-to-end system or method of delivering secure messages. The system provides a unique way of securely delivering messages or information to a user only after proper user authentication. Hence, security attacks in mobile communication are avoided (such as SIM swapping and the like). Additionally, the system and method of secure messaging is mobile phone operating system (OS) agnostic.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robust solution to an entity or an organization by enabling the entity to implement a system that provides an alternate mechanism compared to the standard near field communication (NFC) based communication. The system enables a standard smartphone to communicate secure data while providing an enhanced range of communication through an audio mode of transmission between entities. Further, alternative mode of transmissions such as a Bluetooth mode of transmission, a quick response code (QR) based mode of transmission, and a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) based mode of transmission are used for enabling short distance secure communication between entities. Secure storage, secure computation, or processing is performed within a public key infrastructure (PKI) enabled subscriber identity module (SIM) card for providing an effective solution.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) enabled Subscriber Information Management (SIM) for digital identity management. The method includes receiving a request for issuance of a digital identity for the SIM associated with a user. Responsive to an affirmative verification of a set of documents, the method includes transmitting user information determined from the verified set of documents and a predetermined signal to a Certification Authority (CA). Further, the digital identity is generated upon receiving a Certifying Signing Request (CSR) from an end-entity and a second predetermined signal from a verification source. The generated digital identity is transmitted to the end-entity and to the SIM via a middleware.

The method further comprises enabling, the SIM card as the micro-platform for the one or more third party micro-service applications based on the Application ID (AID) assigned to said each custom-DF and the Application Program Interface (API) assigned to said each custom-DF.

Abstract: This invention provides for a radially expandable stent having superior strength and reduced foreshortening properties. The stents have a mixed configuration of straight and arcuate connector segments that serve to join annular segments that make up the body of the stent. Surprisingly the described mixed configuration provides superior resistance to flip deformation while maintaining desired flexibility.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a system for detecting a target analyte which includes a microfluidic device having least one microfluidic channel with a binding surface positioned in the microfluidic channel with further include a first electrode and a second electrode.

The provided systems and methods use capillary force to promote fluid flow through micro- and nano-fluidic channels by evaporating fluid at one terminus of the channel, and the resulting fluid flow generates electric potential and or current. Advantageously, the described systems and methods remove the need for pressurized vessels or external pumps, increasing net energy generation and decreasing complexity and size of potential fluidic batteries.

Abstract: A system and method for presenting product-specific content on a client device, such as a smart cellphone, tablet, or laptop computer, based on a scanned DataMatrix barcode. A DataMatrix barcode is read by an optical scanner attached to the client device and an application recognizes and parses the data encoded in the DataMatrix barcode to obtain a unique alphanumeric identifier. The unique identifier is transmitted to a digital content server via a data communications network and used by the digital content server to retrieve product-specific content created and maintained on the digital content server by a content management system. The product-specific content, if found on the server, is transmitted to the client device and presented on an output device in accordance with a predefined presentation template.

Abstract: A stent is fabricated utilizing a polymer that is selected for its tendency to degrade from the surface inwardly rather than undergo bulk erosion so as to substantially reduce the risk of large particles becoming detached and being swept downstream. Such polymer is hydrophobic yet has water-labile linkages interconnecting the monomers. Ester or imide bonds are incorporated in the polymer to render the surface degrading materials suitable for use in stent applications. The stent may be coated with such polymer or may be wholly formed therefrom.
