20050201691, Sep 15, 2005

Filed:

Mar 12, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/799499

Inventors:

Ronald Mudd - Grapevine TX, US
David Dean - Hickory NC, US
Alan Malanowski - Newton NC, US
Joseph Cody - Hickory NC, US

International Classification:

G02B006/36

US Classification:

385071000

Abstract:

A multi-fiber ferrule is configured to accept coated optical fibers and an optical fiber ribbon. The multi-fiber ferrule includes an optical fiber receiving portion, a lead-in portion, and an alignment portion. The alignment portion includes a buffered fiber alignment portion to orient and separate buffered optical fibers. The alignment portion may also include a ribbon alignment portion to orient and align the optical fibers of an optical fiber ribbon. As a result, the stripped optical fibers of both the coated optical fibers and the optical fiber ribbon are guided and aligned with the optical fiber bores provided in the optical fiber receiving portion of the multi-fiber ferrule.

Abstract:

A surface array of electrically actuated pulsed microscopic fuel jets arranged on the interior surface of a mixing chamber injects fuel into air to form a combustible air-fuel mixture. The jets are solid state units with no moving parts, which can be actuated individually or in groups, and the volume of fuel injected per each jet's firing pulse can be varied by changing the characteristics of the electrical actuating pulse. Having no moving parts and being electrically activated, the jets are intrinsically suited to direct computer control. By providing a large number of such jets and a means of their direct electronic control via negative feedback, fine control of the operating parameters of the combustion engine and a high degree of redundancy to compensate for the failure of individual jets is made possible. The lack of moving parts and the absence of a high pressure fuel supply system provide significant advantages in performance, cost, reliability, and safety over the prior art in fuel injection.

Appl. No.:

7/368195

Inventors:

David B. Dean - Dallas TX

Assignee:

Intermedics Orthopedics, Inc. - Austin TX

International Classification:

A61F 228

US Classification:

623 16

Abstract:

An invasive prosthesis device is disclosed which includes an electrical circuit having a cathode and an anode for mounting on opposing sides of body tissue requiring healing. The cathode is connected to a source of power for transmitting electrical stimulating signals to the anode as target. The invasive device includes a constant current circuit which may include either a battery source of power or a power source iductively coupled to the constant current source circuit. If the power source is inductively coupled to the constant current source a diode rectifier can be coupled between the inductive coil and constant current source for rectifying the induced ac to dc. The prosthesis device includes a porous surface area located to maximize the bonding strength between the device and the body tissue. The cathode is located in the porous area and powered to limit tissue growth to ingrowth substantially within the porous area only. The constant current circuitry including the induction coil and time constant circuit or battery as appropriate are housed within the interior of the prosthesis device together with the leads interconnecting the constant current source to the cathode.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/34
G06Q 20/40
G06Q 20/28

Abstract:

A method of managing payments between a payor and a payee includes receiving by the payee a virtual prepaid card, wherein a predetermined amount of money is held by the virtual prepaid card as a payment to the payee. The method includes receiving by the payee a letter containing a uniform resource locator (URL) of a web page. The webpage is configured to create an online account responsive to transaction data from the payee. The transaction data includes verification information for verifying and associating the payee to the payor and includes the payee's bank account information. The payee can receive the payment via an electronic fund transfer or by processing the virtual prepaid card through a merchant terminal. The virtual prepaid card may be imprinted on the letter.

Abstract:

A data processing control comprising an outgoing payment request control object having 1) user-selectable data records, each user-selectable data record having one or more associated fields, 2) graphical attributes to allow the user-selectable data records to be displayed, and 3) functional attributes to allow the user-selectable data records to be submitted for payment authorization by a third party. An incoming authorized payment control object having 1) authorized payment data records, each of the authorized payment data records having one or more associated fields, 2) graphical attributes to allow the authorized payment data records to be displayed, and 3) functional attributes to allow the authorized payment data records to be submitted for fund transfer in a single bundled payment transaction. The outgoing payment request control object and the incoming authorized payment control object are generated in a user interface for a healthcare services provider.
