20100123003	METHOD FOR VERIFYING INSTANT CARD ISSUANCE - There is disclosed a method for verifying instant card issuance. The method begins with receiving from a user an identification credential including personally identifying data. Then the method continues with authenticating the user based upon an evaluation of the personally identifying data against a fraud detection database. The identity of the user may be correlated to the identity specified in the identification credential. The user is then validated based upon an analysis of the personally identifying data against a compliance database including a list of prohibited identities or watch lists. The user is designated as authorized upon proper authentication and validation. The method concludes with dispensing a transaction card linked via a unique identifier to a financial account associated with the authorized user. The transaction card is imprinted with the unique identifier and a custom user-selected design.	05-20-2010

20140379562	INTERMEDIARY PAYMENT AND ESCROW SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method for enabling consumers in a commercial or gaming context to push funds from a traditional open loop account to a closed loop account, and back. At the request of a consumer, funds are transferred to an open loop account of an intermediary payment system that holds or keeps track of virtual closed loop accounts for each consumer and virtual open or closed loop accounts for individual electing merchants or gaming establishments. The consumer may elect to open and use an associated closed loop card to acquire goods or services at the electing private label merchant's or to place a bet at the private label gaming facility or device that will cause funds to be transferred from the consumer's virtual closed loop account to the merchant or gaming establishment's closed loop account. Thereafter, the funds are transferred from the intermediary payment system to an open loop account belonging to the commercial or gaming merchant. The system allows for many unique functionalities so that the consumer does not need a bank account, but can through card features selected, use one or more accounts like a bank account, including for international transactions, linking of cards (as an example for money transfers to students), and make purchases free of digital tracking to the account holding consumer. The method further benefits merchants and others involved in their use through the ability to structure non-traditional fee structures and loyalty or other rewards.	12-25-2014

20120263217	Method to Prevent Phenomenon in Vector Modulator Transmitter - One embodiment of the present invention relates to an apparatus for preventing remodulation in a transmission chain. A first offset generation circuit selectively introduces a first frequency offset into in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) equivalent baseband signals. A second offset generation circuit selectively introduces a second frequency offset into an oscillator output signal. The frequency of the offset oscillator output signal is divided by a divider to form offset local oscillator signals, which are provided to up-conversion mixers that modulate the offset equivalent baseband signals onto the offset local oscillator signals to generate a composite modulated output signal. The first and second frequency offsets are chosen to have values that cancel during modulation. However, because the second frequency offset shifts the offset oscillator output signal's frequency to a value that is no longer a harmonic of the composite modulated output signal's frequency, remodulation is prevented.	10-18-2012
