20080274765 | Interactive Control of Access to Services and Capabilities of a Mobile Device - A system device and method are provided which determine authorization for access to one or more services grouped together as a package of services without direct intervention of a wireless network provider or wired network access provider. This offers business proprietors, contractors for telecommunication services, service resellers, OEMs and service providers the ability to authorize users, particularly users of mobile communication terminals, hereafter referred to as the “Owner,” access to package services. In this way a large package of features and applications can be available to a mobile device, but access to those features and applications can be controlled by the Owner thus providing the Owner with control over expenses related to accessing those features and applications. It also provides the Owner the ability to secure and prevent unauthorized access to features and applications which could allow an unauthorized user access to sensitive data and equipment. | 11-06-2008 |
20090017788 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARABLE VOICE BILLING FOR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL AIRTIME USE - Separable billing of business and non-business calls to/from a remote station or wireless communications device is provided. Business calls may be billed to the business, or other entity that provides a telephone to a user, and non-business calls may be billed to a user personally. When a call is desired to be connected, it is determined if the number of the call is a business number. If the number is a business number, the call is placed and billed to the business. If the number is not a business number, the call is placed and billed to the user when the user approves personal billing for the call. If the user does not approve personal billing of a non-business call, the call may be denied. | 01-15-2009 |
20100049615 | MOBILE COMMERCE AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM - The mobile commerce authentication and authorization system disclosed, illustrated, and claimed allows a user of a currently existing mobile wireless communications instrument to conduct financial transactions, including purchases, across a wireless communications system using location data to authorize and authenticate the user and the transaction. The location of the mobile wireless communications instrument and the location of a vendor point-of-sale device are matched with a payment sum. Authentication of the user of the mobile wireless communications instrument is achieved at least by application of the position and/or location determinable features of the mobile wireless communications instrument, the position and/or location of a point-of-sale device of a vendor or merchant where the instrument user seeks to purchase goods or services, and the payment sum entered on the point-of-sale device.

Further, the charging system is configured to charge and perform a process on the one or more charging devices positioned within the container. | 08-12-2010 |
20100248622 | TRACKING RECEIVER DEVICES WITH WIRELESS POWER SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS - Exemplary embodiments are directed to communicating information relating to wireless charging. A power transmitting system includes a host device with a transmit antenna. A communication interface conveys receiver information, which includes unique identifier information, from a receiver device to the host device. A controller on the host device monitors and processes the receiver information to generate notification information, which is presented to a user on a user-perceivable notifier. The transmit antenna generates an electromagnetic field at a resonant frequency to create a coupling-mode region within a near-field of the transmit antenna. The system can detect a presence of a receiver device with a receive antenna that is in the coupling-mode region and process a request for power from the receiver device. The system can also notify a user when a host device is leaving a designated region and whether the host device includes expected receiver devices. | 09-30-2010 |

20110176242 | Electromagnetic Heads, Flexures, Gimbals And Actuators Formed On And From A Wafer Substrate - Devices for reading or writing electromagnetic information include a wafer substrate piece disposed between an electromagnetic transducer and an electrostrictive or piezoelectric actuator. The substrate piece is shaped as a rigid body adjoining the transducer and as a flexible element connecting the body and the actuator. To fabricate, at least one electrostrictive layer and many transducers are formed on opposite sides of a wafer that is then cut into rows containing plural transducers. The rows are processed from directions generally normal to the wafer surface upon which the transducers were formed, by removing material to form a head, flexures and a media-facing surface on the head. Conductive leads are formed on a back surface of flexures connecting the transducer with drive electronics. The flexures are aligned with forces arising from interaction with the media surface and from seeking various tracks, reducing torque and dynamic instabilities and increasing actuator access time. | 07-21-2011 |
20140184055 | PARTICLE ACCELERATION DEVICES WITH IMPROVED GEOMETRIES FOR VACUUM-INSULATOR-ANODE TRIPLE JUNCTIONS - For high-voltage devices such as particle accelerators, novel geometries for a triple-junction at which an insulator, an anode and a vacuum meet are disclosed. A singularity in the electric field at the triple-junction is eliminated, reducing dielectric flashover and allowing the devices to operate at higher voltages without breakdown. In one aspect, such a device includes a cathode, an anode having an anode surface exposed to a vacuum, and a dielectric body disposed between the cathode and anode, the dielectric body having a dielectric surface that is exposed to the vacuum, wherein the dielectric surface and the anode surface approach each other such that an angle measured across the vacuum between the dielectric surface and the anode surface decreases with decreasing distance between the dielectric surface and the anode surface until the dielectric surface and the anode surface meet and are parallel. | 07-03-2014 |

20140127816 | FACULTATIVELY ATTENUATED BACTERIAL SPECIES AND METHODS OF PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF - The present invention provides facultatively attenuated bacterial species and methods of preparation and use thereof. The term “facultatively attenuated” as used herein refers to a bacterium which comprises a set of defined recombinant modifications which have substantially no effect on the ability of the bacterium to grow by multiplication when the bacterium is outside of its host organism, but which result in deletion of one or more genes essential for multiplication of the bacterium when the bacterium is introduced into its host organism, for example within host cells of a vaccinate recipient. These recombinant modifications take advantage of regulatory sequences which preferentially induce expression of genes within the mammalian host. | 05-08-2014 |
