20150227930 | HOMOMORPHIC PASSCODE ENCRYPTION - A method of encrypting a passcode is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes: receiving an indication of a portion of the passcode; calculating a plaintext value based at least in part on the indication, wherein the plaintext value represents an encoded portion of the passcode; encrypting the plaintext value into ciphertext using a homomorphic encryption system; and updating a cumulative encryption string by executing a cumulative operation to aggregate the ciphertext corresponding to the encoded portion into the cumulative encryption string computed for a previous portion of the passcode, wherein the cumulative operation is dictated by a homomorphic property of the homomorphic encryption system. | 08-13-2015 |

20150025920 | CHECK-IN REDUCED CARRY ON BAGGAGE SYSTEM AND OTHER BOARDING PROCESS ENHANCEMENTS - A method for improving boarding of passengers and baggage onto a flight, comprises, at a predetermined time before the scheduled departure of the flight, determining an eligible carry-on baggage items count of carry-on baggage items eligible for treatment as checked baggage items. The eligible carry-on baggage items count is based on predetermined criteria comprising at least one of an aircraft type for the flight, a passenger load factor for the flight and carrier historical data relevant to the flight. If the eligible carry-on items count is greater than zero, then an offer to a passenger on the flight to have the passenger's carry-on baggage item treated as a checked baggage item is communicated, and the passenger's communication in response to the offer is received. For each accepted offer, decrementing the eligible carry-on items count. | 01-22-2015 |

20140034103 | SYSTEM, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR GENERATING POWER USING A THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE WITH CLOSED LOOP COOLING SYSTEM FOR MOBILE DEVICE AND BATTERY CHARGING - The pending disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for generating power using a thermoelectric device. Such systems, methods, and devices may include one or more heat pipes containing a fluid. Moreover, each of the heat pipes may be coupled to the top surface of one or more thermoelectric modules. Also, a heat sink may be coupled to the top end of the one or more heat pipes. Further, a charging circuit may be coupled to the one or more thermoelectric modules. Moreover, the bottom surface of the one or more thermoelectric modules may be heated from an external heat source to a temperature higher than the temperature of the top surface of the one or more thermoelectric modules thereby generating voltage to be provided to the electric charging circuit. | 02-06-2014 |

20150338159 | SHOCKING COOLER - A shocking cooler includes an ice chest cooler which has a lid and lower portion. A first conductor is located within the bottom portion and extrudes from one of the side interior surfaces of the ice chest cooler. A second conductor is located near a lower lip region, and is separated a distance from the first conductor. The first conductor and second conductor are joined to a power supply at alternate connections (either positive (+) or negative (−)) by connection cable(s). The power supply is connected to a switch, which allows the shocking ice chest cooler to be turned on or off. Water is introduced to the ice chest cooler, and is in contact with the first conductor. When a burglar attempts to reach into the ice chest cooler, his hand is immersed into the water, thereby completing the circuit and issuing an electrical shock. | 11-26-2015 |

20140028997 | AGILE IMAGING SYSTEM - An agile optical imaging system for optical coherence tomography imaging using a tunable source comprising a wavelength tunable VCL laser is disclosed. The tunable source has long coherence length and is capable of high sweep repetition rate, as well as changing the sweep trajectory, sweep speed, sweep repetition rate, sweep linearity, and emission wavelength range on the fly to support multiple modes of OCT imaging. The imaging system also offers new enhanced dynamic range imaging capability for accommodating bright reflections. Multiscale imaging capability allows measurement over orders of magnitude dimensional scales. The imaging system and methods for generating the waveforms to drive the tunable laser in flexible and agile modes of operation are also described. | 01-30-2014 |
20140104618 | COMPACT, LOW DISPERSION, AND LOW ABERRATION ADAPTIVE OPTICS SCANNING SYSTEM - An adaptive optics scanning system using a beam projection module with four or more axes of motion that can project and control the position and angle of a beam of light to or from an adaptive optics element. The adaptive optics scanning system is compact in size, overcoming the challenges of a traditional lens and mirror based pupil relay design. The adaptive optics scanning system has little to no dispersion, chromatic aberration, and off-axis aberration for improved optical performance. The system and methods for calibrating and optimizing the system are described. A modular adaptive optics unit that scans and interfaces an adaptive optics element is described. | 04-17-2014 |
20140268050 | TUNABLE LASER ARRAY SYSTEM - A system for swept source optical coherence tomography, the system including a light source emitting multiplexed wavelength-swept radiation over a total wavelength range, the light source including N wavelength-swept vertical cavity lasers (VCL) emitting N tunable VCL outputs having N wavelength trajectories, a combiner for combining the N tunable VCL optical outputs into a common optical path to create the multiplexed wavelength-swept radiation, a splitter for splitting the multiplexed wavelength-swept radiation to a sample and a reference path, an optical detector for detecting an interference signal created by an optical interference between a reflection from the sample and light traversing the reference path, and a signal processing system which uses the interference signal to construct an image of the sample, wherein at least one of the N wavelength trajectories differs from another of the N wavelength trajectories with respect to at least one parameter. | 09-18-2014 |

20110045280 | FIRE RESISTANT GLAZINGS - The addition of nanoparticulate silica to sealants which are applied to the exposed edges of fire resistant laminated glazings provides an improved seal. Preferably the silica is present as an Ormosil dispersed in a polymerisable organic medium. Methods for applying such a medium to the edges of a glazing and polymerising it in situ are also claimed. The seals can be used to replace known metal tapes. The use of transparent seals provides a seal having an improved appearance. | 02-24-2011 |
