  • Publication number: 20230301442
    Abstract: The disclosed inventive concept comprises a kit containing an anti-roll travel support pillow for use by children and toddlers when strapped into a car safety seat. Variably-sized travel support pillows are fabricated with an integral, sewn-in loop fastener and an integral, sewn-in combination fastener. A child's head frequently bobs uncontrollably while sleeping in a car safety seat. The travel support pillow ensures an added step of child safety when infants or toddlers occupy a child's car safety seat in a vehicle. Included within the kit are a stand-alone fixed hook-fastener and a stand-alone fixed combination fastener, each of which must be manually affixed to a car safety seat. This enables attachment of the travel support pillow onto the left and right outer surfaces of the child safety seat. A cushioned interior of the travel support pillow stabilizes the child's or infant's head while the vehicle is in motion.

  • Publication number: 20140046785
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for substantially enhancing the security and protection of a credit/debit card typically carried by consumers. The system includes administrative mainframe computers at a payment processing center capable of cooperating with a microprocessor embedded credit card, an associated cellular telephone number, a scanner with fingerprint reading means, and inputs by the cardholder. The credit/debit card used in the system comprises embedded electronic data and a means for retaining an electronic image of the thumbprint of the authorized cardholder. When presented for a purchase, and scanned at the point of sale, the scanning equipment will initiate a prompt to automatically dial the cell phone number previously registered by the card holder with the system administrator. Upon recognizing the incoming message, the cardholder enters a pre-arranged PIN into his/her cell phone, thereby uploading all security parameters for verification by the electronic equipment at the point of sale.
