Abstract:

Method and apparatus to monitor MQoS of wireless mobile devices is described. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method to monitor the health of 3G mobile devices and provide a status check of such health to network technicians, supervisors, and management. In one aspect, mobile devices on the network perform measurement of MQoS factors that are reported to a quality of service backend. The MQoS data is combined to show current and historical network status. In another aspect, alarms may be set to notify specific managers when manager programmable conditions occur, such as low system performance, or specific error conditions occur. Reports may be generated summarizing and illustrating performance in tabular and graphical form. Parameters used for testing and monitoring mobile devices may be input to specific mobile devices or groups of mobile devices in a system. In one aspect, customer care or call centers may be enabled to request specific tests from specific mobile devices and utilize the overall network status to diagnose and/or resolve customer issues.

US Classification:

455406, 455410, 705 39, 705 44, 705 52

Abstract:

A financial transaction processing system in a legacy financial transaction network for wireless mobile handset devices having an internal SIM or USIM under control of a service provider in a wireless communication network connected to an open world communication network in which the SIM or USIM has a secure part of an account management application that manages a financial account in the handset and adjusts the financial account when the user of the handset communicates a number related to the mobile number of the handset to a legacy remote card terminal which routes the number and transaction data to the secure link server of the service provider.

International Classification:

G05B019/00

US Classification:

340/005260, 340/005520

Abstract:

A system for increasing transaction security across existing infrastructure is provided. A user bio-metric sensor device is integrated into a credit or debit card. A display unit provides a key, preferably encrypted, upon successful utilization of the sensor device. Included in the key generation mechanism is an indicator of the transaction number or other sequential count indicative of card use. An authorization service decrypts the key in a manner at least partially dependent upon a second sequential count maintained in sync with the first count to determine whether the use is authorized. A separate reader may be similarly configured to read existing smart cards utilizing the process of the present invention.

US Classification:

424/093210, 435/455000

Abstract:

Methods for the selective targeting of a transgene to the media of coronary arteries or the highly efficient transfer of a transgene to the myocardium, based on chemical modifications of a normothermic cardiac perfusion system, are described. The described methods can be used to introduce recombinant genes into donor hearts for the treatment of the complications of heart transplantation, including rejection, infection and cardiac allograft vasculopathy. Also described are perfusion solutions and kits and articles of manufacture.

International Classification:

H04L012/26

US Classification:

370229000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus to monitor quality of service (QoS) of wireless mobile devices is described. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method to monitor QoS performance of one or more services provided to a mobile user. The method includes comparing the performance of at least one service provided to the mobile user against at least one QoS threshold value. In one aspect, the present invention detects and determines responses to services having performance levels that cross at least one associated QoS threshold value. In one aspect, QoS thresholds may be associated with QoS between a mobile device and network. In another aspect, QoS thresholds may be associated with the performance level of mobile device operation services such as hardware and software operations. In one embodiment, when a performance level of a service associated with a mobile device crosses at least one QoS threshold, the affected mobile device process data associated with such service performance. Such processed data may then be provided to a user, network personnel, and third parties, etc. for processing thereof.

International Classification:

G06K 5/00
G06K 7/00

US Classification:

235439, 235380

Abstract:

A credit card size authentication card is manufactured using innovative sensor technology, processor technology, power generation and storage, panel display and integration technology. The front of the card has a data display and an exposed, biometric sensor. Internally the card has one or more flex boards that carry low profile, surface-mounted electronic components including a processor that provides the control functions and mathematical calculations to generate a series of random personal identification numbers (PINs) in the display. The random PINs are derived from a biometric seed number obtained during initialization of the card by a discrete user. The electronic circuitry controlling and interconnecting the processor, the sensor and the display is powered by a power system including a thin film battery, a thin film power generator and a low profile power regulator. The thin film power generator preferably comprises a thin film solar collector or RF antenna circuit for energy harvesting. The thin film power generator and thin film battery are layered and preferably docked to the flex board carrying the primary components of the card. The card panels are formed from panel sheets which may be reverse printed with the top or front panel sheets having clear or translucent windows for the data display and solar collectors and die cut to expose the sensor elements.
