  • Patent number: 10034604
    Abstract: An optical measuring apparatus includes a first light source, a second light source and a switching unit. The first light source is used to emit a first light toward a first direction. The second light source is used to emit a second light toward a second direction. The switching unit selectively switches to a first mode or a second mode. When the switching unit switches to the first mode, it blocks the second light and let the first light emitted to an aiming region on eyeball to perform an optical aiming and determine an eye axis center position on the eyeball; when the switching unit switches to the second mode, the switching unit changes the second light from the second direction to the first direction to let the second light emitted to the eye axis center position on the eyeball to perform an optical measurement.

  • Patent number: 10022693
    Abstract: A system used for converting multiple fuel feedstocks may include three reactors. The reactor system combination can be so chosen that one of the reactors completely or partially converts the fuel while the other generates the gaseous product required by utilizing the gaseous product from the second reactor. The metal-oxide composition and the reactor flow-patterns can be manipulated to provide the desired product. A method for optimizing the system efficiency where a pressurized gaseous fuel or a pressurized utility is used for applications downstream can be used to any system processing fuels and metal-oxide.

  • Publication number: 20180167715
    Abstract: An audio headset that provides a “chat” mode to temporarily adjusts audio to preset levels to emphasize ambient sound, and includes a beamformer to provide directional speech isolation. The headset may include active noise cancellation and/or passive noise isolation. When entering chat mode, three or more relative audio levels are individually adjusted to presets, allowing the wearer to hear ambient noise and their own isolated voice, while attenuating other audio sources. This user-configurable combination of levels temporarily adjust the mix of signals that will be output to a wearer via the stereo headphone speakers.

  • Patent number: 9898736
    Abstract: A mobile checkout system and method for completing a purchase transaction to purchase items from an internet merchant. A user browses and selects items for purchase from the merchant through a shopping application or browser (mobile or PC). During the processing of the transaction, a checkout application installed on a mobile communication device is launched. The checkout application receives a checkout token created by a checkout server that identifies the purchase transaction. After user authentication, the system uses this token and communicates with the checkout server to cause the checkout server to complete the purchase transaction, in which payment data is securely transmitted and wherein a one-time-use cryptogram can be part of the payment information.

  • Patent number: 9864994
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for securely converting a user's existing static payment card data into dynamic card data that can be authenticated by card issuers or by a stand-in service provider, such as a payment network or processor without requiring the card issuers to make infrastructure changes. The dynamic data can be provisioned onto a magnetic secure transmission device (MST) either directly from a card issuer or using a swiper type device. Devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed for securely provisioning a dynamic card onto the MST by the card issuer. These dynamic cards may be used to transmit modified one-time-use card track data from the MST to a point of sale using a dynamic-CVV methodology to provide higher levels of security during a transaction.
