Abstract: Identity theft services, made available as an inherent part of a financial services account with an optional fee structure, are believed to provide economical and attractive option to the market place, and an additional safeguard to the financial organization from the effects of fraud and security breach. By providing notice followed by a period to opt out and then instituting a new identity theft service, a revenue generating stream can be provided for a financial organization as well as a service provider. Furthermore, the customers at the financial organization are provided with identity theft service benefits not previously enjoyed. When utilizing this service with a Covered Group, even those individuals that opt out may be provided at least limited identity theft services.

Abstract: A portable ultrasound unit and docking cart for the unit are provided. When the portable unit is mounted to the docking cart, the docking cart transforms the portable unit into a cart-based system with enhanced features and functionality such as improved ergonomics, ease of use, a larger display format, external communications connectivity, multiple transducer connections, and increased data processing capabilities. A clinician display and patient display may be provided on the cart. Communications circuitry in the docking cart may be used to support communications between the docking cart's processor and external networks and devices. The docking cart may receive physiological signals such as cardiac signals and may use this information to synchronize ultrasound imaging operations with a patient's physiological condition. Adjustable user interface controls, data handling features, security features, power control functions, and thermal management capabilities may be provided in the docking cart.

Abstract: A method for making a radiation absorbing material (RAM) coating may include providing an iron-silicon alloy powder, forming the iron-silicon alloy powder into flakes, and passivating the flakes. The method may further include selecting passivated flakes having a desired size, and combining the selected passivated flakes with a carrier to provide the RAM coating. The coating may be applied to a substrate to impart the radiation absorbing property thereto.
