  • Patent number: 8365267
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing a plurality of single use passwords to provide phishing detection and user authentication. A user receives a plurality of single use passwords that expire within a defined time period after having been sent to a registered device. During a login attempt, the user enters a user name and a requested one of the passwords, which once entered expires. If valid, the user then enters a portion of another password to complete a displayed portion of a password, and a specified other one of passwords. If the displayed portion of the other passwords does not match any portion of one of passwords, then the user may detect a phishing attempt and terminate the login. If the user correctly the password data, the user may then access secured data. Each new login request requires a different set of passwords to be used.

  • Publication number: 20130010978
    Abstract: A vibrating headset capable of generating a vibration of variable operational characteristics in the earpiece of the vibrating headset is disclosed. The vibrating headset may include one or more earpieces, each of which includes a speaker and a vibrator mechanism, wherein the vibrator mechanism receives a vibration input signal which is distinct from the audio input signal received by the speaker and defines the variable operational characteristics of the vibration to be generated by the vibrator mechanism. A gaming apparatus including a gaming device and a vibrating headset communicably coupled to the gaming device for generating vibrations of variable operational characteristics in response to receiving a vibration input signal from the gaming device is also provided. Finally, a method of creating vibrations defined by at least one variable operational characteristic in an earpiece of a vibrating headset is provided.

  • Patent number: 7769815
    Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for determining spam. A spam detecting system identifies potential spam messages by checking the relationship between a sender of a message and a recipient of the message. The spam detecting system identifies the relationship between the sender and recipient as ‘unknown’ or ‘trusted’. If the message is ‘trusted’, the message is transmitted accordingly to the recipient. If the message is classified as ‘unknown’, then the message is analyzed in view of other identified potential spam messages where a count is tallied against a threshold value to keep track of the probability a message is spam.

  • Patent number: 7745095
    Abstract: A substrate processing method of a substrate provided with an anti-reflective coating which extends to or beyond a peripheral edge of the substrate is disclosed. The method includes removing a portion of the anti-reflective coating adjacent to and around a periphery of the substrate using a back-side removal process, depositing a layer of radiation sensitive material onto the anti-reflective coating, depositing a top-coat layer onto the layer of radiation sensitive material, and simultaneously removing a portion of the layer of radiation sensitive material and a portion of the top-coat layer from around an area adjacent to the periphery of the substrate using a top-side removal process.

  • Patent number: 7480522
    Abstract: A rocker includes a stem fabricated from an elastomeric material, having a first end and a second end, the second end being mountable to a base. A cap is secured to the first end of the stem. The elastomeric material of the stem is effective for resiliently urging the cap to an original position subsequent to being moved from the original position to a depressed position. Conductive elements are positioned on the cap for establishing an electrical connection between circuit elements of a printed wire board when the second end of the stem is mounted to the base and the cap is moved to a depressed position.
