Paul A. Walters - Fort Wayne IN 46804

International Classification:

E06B 930

US Classification:

1601781R, 2423882, 2424051, 24716

Abstract:

The subject invention is a holder for a window-shade cord to securely hold the cord in a temporarily stored position to prevent entanglement by the cord, particularly with a child, with the holder being structured to hold a portion of the cord as wound around two separated cord reel members on such holder, with the reel members being peripherally formed to permit circumferential movement of the temporarily encircled cord portion about such reel members as necessary to adjust the length of the cord on such cord holder.

Abstract:

The ‘IP Diagnostics’ software is a new and innovative method of aiding the deployment and troubleshooting of IP enabled POS terminals. Its purpose is to identify where a failure in the IP connection is occurring. The IP Diagnostics application does this by testing major failure points within the IP chain from the POS terminal to the host.

Appl. No.:

10/428518

Inventors:

Paul Walters - Fort Wayne IN, US

International Classification:

B62D001/16

US Classification:

280/779000

Abstract:

The subject invention is a flexible sealing structure for an automobile steering column that is formed and adapted as an external sealing mechanism which sealing mechanism has a housing having an internal circumference which has formed thereon an internal circumferential flange, as opposed to having formed thereon a circumferential channel on the radially inner surface of the housing. The internal circumferential seal member is affixed on the outer circumferential surface of the internal circumference flange. The sealing concept herein has other applications aside from the steering column of an automobile as set forth in the preferred embodiment.

Inventors:

Paul A. Walters - Fort Wayne IN, US

International Classification:

B65D 65/38

US Classification:

206534

Abstract:

The subject invention is a reminder and warning mechanism for a liquid container, such mechanism having movable or other visually oriented means thereof to alert a person whether the container is filled with only one type of liquid or with a mixture of liquids, and if mixed with various liquids to register what particular mixture ratio of mixed liquids. The subject invention is also applicable to non-liquid containers.

Appl. No.:

12/113852

Inventors:

Norman S. Spiker - Phoenix AZ, US
Paul M. Walters - Scottsdale AZ, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00
H04L 9/10

US Classification:

705 70, 705 71, 705 73, 705 50

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is provided for secure terminals that facilitate secure data transmission and are compliant with the payment card industry (PCI) data security requirements. A security processor is combined with an application processor and a display into a secure display control unit (SDCU) that provides tamper resistance and other security measures. Modular secure I/O devices are interfaced to the SDCU via a wired, or wireless, medium so as to facilitate secure data transfer to the SDCU during a point-of-sale (POS) transaction or other transaction that requires secure data entry. The secure I/O devices implement one-time-pad (OTP) encryption, where the random keys, or pads, are generated by a derived unique key per transaction (DUKPT) generator. Other embodiments facilitate interconnection of the secure I/O devices to a hardware security module (HSM) or a personal computer (PC) while maintaining a high level of data security.

Appl. No.:

12/596127

Inventors:

Paul Walters - Scottsdale AZ, US
Ulf Andersson - Linkoping, SE

Assignee:

HYPERCOM CORPORATION - Scottsdale AZ

International Classification:

H04K 1/00
G06Q 20/00

US Classification:

705 67

Abstract:

This is for a payment device that may be constructed from separate modules in a secure fashion such that the aggregation of the modules constitutes an overall secure device without the use of additional covers, cases, or tamper-resistant housings. The methods and system are provided whereby the devices within a modular payment system can exchange data between each-other in a secure fashion. While data encryption is being used elsewhere, the present invention extends the security zone from each secure payment module within a modular device out over the cable to the next device. This allows the user to purchase payment device components, place them as they see fit, and not have to obtain certification on their end product as a POS-A level payment device.

Appl. No.:

13/176469

Inventors:

Paul Walters - Scottsdale AZ, US
Scott Spiker - Phoenix AZ, US

Assignee:

KEY INNOVATIONS LTD. - West Drayton

International Classification:

G06Q 20/00
H04L 9/32
H04N 7/167
G06F 21/00

US Classification:

705 73, 726 26, 726 16

Abstract:

A secure terminal, such as one used for point-of-sale debit card transactions, has a secure enclosure containing some or all of the terminal components, and is configured to send sensitive and non-sensitive data to a display located outside of the secure enclosure. The terminal includes a source chip that protects data sent from the terminal to the display. The source chip protects the data by detecting that the display is connected, authenticating the display as a device that is authorized to receive the data, and encrypting the data before transmission. Preferably, the display is a commercially-available consumer electronic device, such as a television or computer monitor. The source chip communicates with a receiver chip on the display to perform the detection, authentication, and encryption methods of the invention.

International Classification:

B65H 5900

US Classification:

254134.3FT

Abstract:

The invention herein is an improved structure for facilitating and easing the process of threading electrical lines or cables into and through the interior of a pipe member comprising a longitudinally extending insert member, such insert member having a rounded undersurface to fit conformingly into the interior of the pipe member, and further wherein such insert member is provided with a channel on the upper surface with such channel having a rounded bottom, and further where such insert member has a downwardly sloped cammed surface on the one end to receive the cable as it moves into the insert member before being drawn into the pipe member.
