Patent number: 8275693Abstract: An anonymous trading system includes a prime broker facility that allows a third party to trade on behalf of an institution. A deal is executed between the third party and a counter-party and a further deal is then executed between the third party and the party on whose behalf it has traded. The second deal may be for the same amount as the first deal or may be altered to include the third party's fee for conducting the first deal. Clients of the third party have prices available to them for trades made via the third party which are displayed at their trader terminals. The client sees that a better price is available though the third party than by dealing direct and selects to conduct a deal through the third party.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: EBS Group LimitedInventors: James Sinclair, James O'Hagan, Edward R.

Patent number: 8207815Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating facility access with other security systems are described. An individual seeking access authorization to a facility may be identified with a biometric parameter such as an iris scan. If authorized, the system may allow entry by disabling the alarm system, and a time period for access may be determined based on one or more characteristics associated with the individual. These characteristics may include the functional role of the individual at the facility and/or the location of the facility itself. Moreover, this facility access authorization system may be integrated with a network access authorization system associated with the facility so that when an individual gains access to the facility for a specific time period, the system is also able to determine how long the individual may access its network resources.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Kurt D. Newman, Debashis Ghosh, Michael James O'Hagan, David Joa, Timothy J. Bendel

Publication number: 20110213709Abstract: Systems and methods for biometrically identifying an individual for purchasing a product and/or service without a need for the individual to input authentication data into a system/device are described. Data representative of a scanned iris of a customer desiring to make a purchase may be made. The customer may be identified based upon the scanned iris. A determination may be made as to whether the identified customer desires to make a purchase with an associated payment amount from an entity. A determination may be made as to whether the identified customer has a default purchase at the entity. Information of an account of the customer to make a purchase may be received and funds in the account may be debited by the associated payment amount. An item corresponding with the purchase based upon the scanned iris may be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2011Publication date: September 1, 2011Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Kurt D. Newman, Christopher R. Griggs, Joseph A. Giordano, Debashis Ghosh, David Joa, Timothy J. Bendel, Michael James O'Hagan

Publication number: 20110213710Abstract: Systems and methods for authorizing an individual for purchasing a product and/or service are described. Monetary funds of a customer of a company may be received into a monetary account of the company at the financial entity. The received monetary funds of the customer may be maintained virtually in a non-monetary account with the non-monetary account value being proportional to the received monetary funds. A determination may be made as to whether an identified customer is authorized to make a purchase with an associated payment amount. The customer may be identified by a scanned iris. Upon determining the identified customer is authorized, the non-monetary account value may be decreased proportional to the associated payment amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2011Publication date: September 1, 2011Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Kurt D.

Patent number: 7755487Abstract: The present invention provides a membrane assembly that integrates an antenna configured to communicate with an RFID device to receive and/or write RFID data to and/or from the RFID device. In various embodiments, the membrane assembly may be incorporated into an information processing device, and the information processing device may be included in an information system. The membrane assembly includes at least a first antenna adapted to wirelessly communicate with an RFID device that may be associated with (i.e. worn, held, attached to, or otherwise related to) a user. The wireless communication between the membrane assembly and the RFID device provides the basis for controlling the information processing device. In various embodiments, the RFID data may be used to authorize, customize, and/or otherwise affect the performance of the information processing device.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2007Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: ZIH Corp.Inventor: James O'Hagan
