Publication number: 20190340592Abstract: Systems and methods that help ensure that assist a user with bill payment on a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. After receiving bill payment information from the user through the GUI, bill payments are aggregated over a given period of time, allowing a user to make a single payment to ensure that all appropriate bills and/or invoices are paid in a timely fashion. Through use of the GUI, a user can avoid the traditional hassle and stress of tracking and paying bills.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2019Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventors: Matthew Parker Dennison, Hisham Ibrahim, Michael Reiss, Maria Doherty, Erin Riedl, Sandeep Bhimavarapu, Hester Seth, Marisa Johnson

Publication number: 20090035542Abstract: Reactive foils and their uses are provided as localized heat sources useful, for example, in ignition, joining and propulsion. An improved reactive foil is preferably a freestanding multilayered foil structure made up of alternating layers selected from materials that will react with one another in an exothermic and self-propagating reaction. Upon reacting, this foil supplies highly localized heat energy that may be applied, for example, to joining lawyers, or directly to bulk materials that are to be joined. This foil heat-source allows rapid bonding to occur at room temperature in virtually any environment (e.g. air, vacuum, water, etc.). If a joining material is used, the foil reaction will supply enough heat to melt the joining materials, which upon cooling will form a strong bond, joining two or more bulk materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2007Publication date: February 5, 2009Inventors: Timothy P. Weihs, Omar Knio, Michael Reiss, David van Heerden, Todd Hufnagel, Howard Feldmesser

Patent number: 6534194Abstract: In accordance with the invention a reactive multilayer foil is fabricated by providing an assembly (stack or multilayer) of reactive layers, inserting the assembly into a jacket, deforming the jacketed assembly to reduce its cross sectional area, flattening the jacketed assembly into a sheet, and then removing the jacket. Advantageously, the assembly is wound into a cylinder before insertion into the jacket, and the jacketed assembly is cooled to a temperature below 100° C. during deforming. The resulting multilayer foil is advantageous as a freestanding reactive foil for use in bonding, ignition or propulsion.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Timothy P.
