  • Patent number: 7318098
    Abstract: A short message transaction system has a computer that communicates in an online Internet protocol that forms active sessions. A wireless device communicates in a protocol that transmits and receives messages that have a maximum size limit of a predetermined number of alphanumeric characters substantially smaller than the number of alphanumeric characters transmitted in a communication of the computer. A database is also provided. A surrogate communicates with the wireless device and the computer. The surrogate collects data from a plurality of messages from the wireless device and provides the data for storage in the database. The computer then runs online sessions using the stored data.

  • Patent number: 6391648
    Abstract: Photoluminescent complexes of copper, silver, zinc, lithium or similar metals are described, being (bis)ligand, with two different ligands. A variety of ligands may be used, the larger ligand being of a size or shape such that a pair of such ligand are prevented by steric properties from forming a (bis)ligand complex with the metal. Preferred substituents may be alkyl, aryl or alkaryl hydrocarbons, or halogen, chalcogen, nitrogen or phosphorus moieties, or included heteroatoms. Formation of the (bis)ligand complex is accomplished by maintaining the molar ratios of reactants at that which is equivalent to the (bis)ligand complex composition. The complexes are useful as optical sensors for O2, NH3 and NOx, in dye sensitization for photovoltaic devices/solar cells, in producing visible TiO2 photosensitization and in H2 production from the photochemically splitting water. These heteroleptic complexes exhibit photoluminescence equal to or better than ruthenium homoleptic complexes.

  • Patent number: 6032670
    Abstract: A drape for surgical procedures on a shoulder. The drape includes a flexible sheet of fluid impervious material intended to overlay a patient arranged in either a lateral position or a beach chair position. The sheet includes a shoulder accommodating fenestration, and the resilient construction of the sheet around the fenestration causes the sheet to generally conform to a patient's shoulder area after the patient's arm is inserted through the fenestration. A pair of fluid collection pouches are connected to the sheet in a fluid tight fashion on opposite sides of the fenestration, and are arranged such that fluids present at the shoulder during the surgical procedure flow by gravity into one or both of the fluid collection pouches. A method of draping a patient for shoulder surgery is also disclosed.
