Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a pet tracking device that receives and transmits wireless signals indicative of the location of the pet tracking device. The pet tracking device has a body including a power source and electrical circuits located within a housing and at least one hoop antenna extending outwardly from a surface of the housing. The at least one hoop antenna also functions as a collar attaching location for affixing the pet tracking device to a pet worn collar.

Abstract: Using payment processing data on which cards transact at a merchant, a payment transaction service provider may determine whether cards used at a given merchant are being used within the card's domicile or outside the domicile. When a card is used in domicile, that's a “local” user. This allows the payment transaction service provider to inform on whether a merchant is visited primarily by tourists or primarily by locals. The payment transaction service provider may also derive whether someone is a ‘tourist’ card based on any recent hotel, car rental, or flight purchases in the same location as their purchase at a merchant.

Abstract: A Myelin Basic Protein-luciferase bioimaging noninvasive model to visualize and quantify demyelination and remyelination events in the CNS at transcriptional level in vivo is provided. Luciferase-expressing transgenic animals were generated with myelin basic protein (MBP) promoter coupled to firefly luciferase reporter. The MBP-luci bioimaging model provides a means to monitor myelination status and the efficacy of a remyelination modulating test compound. An advantage of bioimaging is that a subject in a longitudinal study can serve as its own control. The same subject can be tracked over a demyelination and remyelination process continuously over a period of at least 10 weeks. This model enables normalization of individual animal imaging response and provides quality data with considerably reduced variance. In addition, because cohorts of animals need not be sacrificed at different time points, reduction in the number necessary for a compound efficacy study is possible.

Abstract: A system and method for transferring configuration information between wireless access points is provided. Configuration information may include SSID and password, but also certain settings such as network and subnetwork settings. A first wireless access point may be a mobile hotspot, and a second wireless access point may be a docking station. The first wireless access point is initially active and operating using certain configuration information. Upon a trigger event such as a docking or undocking event, the configuration information is transferred to the second wireless access point. The first wireless access point ceases using the transferred configuration information, for example by switching off or adjusting its configuration, and the second wireless access point begins using the transferred configuration information. The configuration information may be transferred back upon a second trigger event.

Abstract: An auto-accelerated method is applied to a mobile communication equipment. The mobile communication equipment includes a primary module and a secondary module with a specific communication pattern including a transmission interface. The primary module sends out an inquiry command to inquire the transmission interface corresponding to the secondary module. The secondary module sends out a reply command to answer the inquiry command. According to the reply command, the primary module turns a switch inside the primary module to reach a transmission unit corresponding to the transmission interface of the secondary module. After the switching, the data transmission is made through between the primary module and the secondary module.

Abstract: A universal passive interface for connecting external systems to smart devices such as cell phones and PDAs. The passive system includes a cradle for receiving a compatible smart device that connects the functionality of the smart device to a wide variety of external systems (e.g., printers, large display, input devices, etc.). The passive interface includes a USB hub, network port, and other common connector ports for peripherals and other systems. The smart device can connect to the passive system via the cradle slot, a tether, and/or wirelessly. The external systems to which the passive system serves at the interface to the smart device include, but are not limited to, large displays (e.g., television), external monitors, input devices such as mice and keyboards, external storage devices, and networks (wired and/or wireless). A wizard allows the user to configure the external systems to work with the smart device.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of preventing a PHS handset from being reassigned to a new phone number by installing an encryption program in a PHS handset. The encryption comprises an encryption algorithm, and such encryption algorithm can compute a coded password from a specific code, such that after the phone number is coded into the PHS handset for the first time, a user needs to run such encryption program if it is necessary to reassign a new phone number to the PHS handset. Therefore, the user needs to enter a correct password before the PHS handset can be recoded, and thus can avoid the PHS handset from being recoded without authorization.
