  • Patent number: 8292164
    Abstract: Testing is performed upon a transaction payment card having a substrate with opposing surfaces, battery powered circuit, and having memory in contact with the substrate to store data that includes an identifier for an account upon which a transaction can be conducted. An electronic component, in contact with the substrate, is powered by the battery powered circuit. In the testing, an electrical measurement is made of the battery powered circuit at each of different times when the card is exposed to an environmental condition. An output of the electrical measurements is made. The environmental condition can be temperature, current pulse applied at different states of charge of the one or more batteries, an acceleration, deceleration, or vibration for a period of time applied to card, a vacuum condition applied to the card, etc.

  • Patent number: 7966350
    Abstract: An evidence repository application system provides a centralized repository of implementation evidence data for a project and to provide a method for collecting, storing and tracking the implementation evidence data for the project. The evidence repository application system receives and stores evaluation data regarding the implementation evidence data. The evidence repository application system generates interactive reports summarizing the evaluation data for a project. The evidence repository application system implements a consistent approval process for a project with identified accountable managers and evidence providers. The evidence repository application system also implements an accountability process that notifies accountable managers and evidence providers of their roles and responsibilities for a project.
