Abstract: The disclosure concerns automatic pairing of a user's new device wirelessly with the user's private wireless access point. An open WLAN is used to connect a wireless pairing client (WPC) in the device with a pairing initiation server (PIS) in an ISP's network. If the open WLAN uses a “captive portal” to redirect HTTPS requests to a login page, a “pinhole” is provided so that HTTP requests addressed to the PIS are not redirected. The device stores the SSID of a suitable open WLAN and connects automatically when powered up. The WPC makes an HTTP request, including an ID for the device, to the PIS. The PIS uses the device ID to retrieve an IP address of the user's access point. The PIS then sends instruction to WPS Pairing Initiator Clients, the device and the access point to initiate a Wi-Fi Protected Setup PBC procedure.

Abstract: A method of producing a security device (60) is disclosed. The method comprises inkjet printing a liquid crystal material onto a first region (61) of a substrate and ink jet printing the same liquid crystal material onto a second region (62) of the substrate. The volume of the liquid crystal material printed per unit area of the substrate in the first region of the substrate is different to the volume of the liquid crystal material printed per unit area of the substrate in the second region of the substrate such that the wavelength of the peak reflectance of the liquid crystal material on the first region is different to the wavelength of the peak reflectance of the liquid crystal material on the second region.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for feeding a feed slurry into a device for separating low density particles from the feed slurry. The apparatus comprises a conduit having a slurry inlet, a gas feed inlet, a plurality of hollow tubes and an outlet. The hollow tubes are configured to combine the feed slurry from the slurry inlet and gas from the gas feed inlet. The hollow tubes comprise a porous section to generate bubbles of substantially uniform size into the slurry for adhering to the low density particles. Slurry flows in axially aligned hollow tubes as gas is introduced through the porous sections into the slurry. Alternatively, slurry flows around hollow tubes arranged perpendicular to the conduit longitudinal axis as gas is discharged through the porous sections into the slurry.

Abstract: A system and method of authenticating a payment transaction between a merchant and a customer in an electronic payment system are described. Transaction details presented by the merchant are received at a mobile electronic device, the customer is authenticated by means of an authentication token presented by the customer at an authentication terminal, and the geo-location of the mobile electronic device and the authentication terminal are compared to verify that the device and terminal are within a predefined geographical distance at the time the payment transaction is processed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a RAFT agent formula (I).

Abstract: A system and method of providing receipt data for a payment transaction through a transaction receipt portal system are described, in which receipt data is stored for a completed payment transaction received from a remote merchant system, the receipt data being associated with a customer and a merchant registered with the system, and stored receipt data is provided to the associated registered customer or merchant. A card payment transaction involves receiving, by a computing device, an electronic receipt from the merchant system, the electronic receipt including data for retrieving stored receipt data from the transaction receipt portal system.

Abstract: In an electronic payment transaction, a mobile merchant device captures customer card details using an integrated camera. The customer enters card security details on a touch-screen of the mobile merchant device, which also captures fingerprint data from the customer. The fingerprint data are stored in a transaction record, for non-repudiation purposes.

Abstract: In an electronic payment transaction, a mobile device captures customer payment token data using an integrated camera. A user is registered to initiate the payment transaction using a mobile payment application on the mobile device. The registration process involves retrieving customer data associated with the captured customer payment token data to pre-populate an enrollment form. The user authentication is provided by verifying input authentication data or by an existing mobile service application.

Abstract: Beverage container having a hollow body with an open end and a cap closing the open end. The cap includes a panel member fixed to the body member at the open end. The panel member has a main portion and a partially or fully severable portion arranged for a user of the container to severe the portion for opening a dispensing aperture. The cap also has a closure member arranged within the container and the closure member is movable relative to the panel member between a closed position and an open position. A handle is arranged on the closure member and is normally positioned out of the way of the severable portion. The closure member has an engagement projection configured to engage the portion following severing same and further folding of the severed portion causes the closure member to turn to position the handle to extending through the dispensing aperture.
