20100228405 | SHARED VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A locking and holding mechanism for a personal vehicle is composed of a connection device mounted to the vehicle and a receptacle mounted to a solid fixture. The receptacle is configured to directly receive and engage the connection device of the vehicle and, once received, the vehicle is locked to the receptacle held in a stable position. The connection device easily attaches a vehicle to a dock and enables a vehicle management system to charge, lock, hold in place and monitor the vehicle's presence when docked in a charge station. When docked in a charge station, if the status of the vehicle is altered unexpectedly the vehicle is equipped with communication equipment to alert the management system that the vehicle's status has changed. The apparatus identifies a user through an ID device and/or code. A user in good standing accesses a user interface via a communication gateway to secure access to a vehicle by electronically detaching the vehicle from the dock. | 09-09-2010 |

20100215421 | COMPACT PRINTER - A compact printer that includes a mechanism for maintaining tension in a print ribbon is provided. The mechanism includes a print ribbon take-up clutch that allows a print ribbon take-up gear to be driven at a rate that is faster than the rate at which print ribbon is moved through a printer assembly while a print medium is moved in a forward direction. A one-way bearing may be interposed between the print ribbon take-up gear and the print ribbon take-up roll carrier, such that a driving torque is transmitted from the take-up gear to the take-up roll carrier only when the take-up gear is driven in the forward direction. Similarly, a one-way bearing may be interposed between a print ribbon supply gear and a print ribbon supply roll carrier, such that torque is transmitted from the print ribbon supply gear to the print ribbon supply roll carrier only when the print ribbon is moved in a reverse direction. | 08-26-2010 |

20140082707 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK CONNECTED AUTHENTICATION - The field of the invention relates to network connected authentication systems, and more particularly to systems and methods that enable authentication of a user using a connected device in the possession of the user. In an embodiment, the system includes a network connected authentication server system communicatively coupled to a network for access by a plurality of user devices to authenticate a plurality of users of one or more third party applications, and a user account database coupled to the network connected authentication server system to store account information including a username for each of the plurality of users. The network connected authentication server system is configured to pair a username to one or more user devices, receive an authentication request from one of the third party applications, notify at least one of the plurality of user devices that has been paired to the username for which the authentication request is received, receive an authentication response from at least one of the plurality of user devices that has been notified, and send the authentication response to the third party application from which the authentication request is received. | 03-20-2014 |
20140298430 | ELECTRONIC COMBINATION LOCK USING FIELDS WITH POSITION INDICATORS - Systems and methods are provided for authenticating users using an electronic combination lock. More specifically, systems and methods are provided for authenticating users using an electronic combination lock by setting a passcode by manipulating a field including selecting multiple indicators in the field in a particular sequence and requiring an accessing user at a later time to repeat the sequence. | 10-02-2014 |
