Patent number: 9992227Abstract: A remote, secure maintenance and support system, method, network entity and computer program product are provided. The system can include site terminal(s) and/or a site server (collectively “site device(s)”), a data center in communication with the site device(s) over a first secure tunnel, and at least one client terminal in communication with the data center over a second secure tunnel. The site device(s) can be configured to periodically transmit to the data center one or more error messages over the first secure tunnel. The data center can, in turn, be configured to make the error messages accessible to at least one authorized technician operating one of the client terminals. The client terminal can be configured to retrieve at least one of the error messages over the second secure tunnel and to take an action associated with resolving the error message.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Erika Thomas, Jeff Hughes, David Turner, Jason Henriksen, Donald Davidson, Benjamin Alderson, James Fortuna

Patent number: 8362059Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and formulations comprising an antifungal agent. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising luliconazole in an amount effective for the treatment of onychomycosis are provided. Also provided are methods for treating dermatomycoses and onychomycosis using the compositions and formulations.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Topica Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Charles G.

Patent number: 8347092Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enhancing anti-terrorism public safety measures, by more securely determining whether explosives or other contraband have been inserted into notebook computer batteries or other large, replaceable subsystems of electronic devices. Because notebook computers typically require large, heavy batteries, they present attractive containers for smugglers and terrorists attempting to bring explosives onto an airplane. The disclosed security testing system provides more reliable results than many current tests, and does not require that the device under test be powered on. The systems and methods disclosed use out-of-band authentication for added security.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Inventors: Kelce Wilson, Jeff Hughes
