US Patent:

20120078798, Mar 29, 2012

Filed:

Sep 27, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/891334

Inventors:

Robert W. DOWNING - Palmetto FL, US
Nicole Steffensmeier - Oldsmar FL, US

International Classification:

G06Q 20/00

US Classification:

705 64

Abstract:

Described herein are methods and systems for securely transmitting information, including financial account information. An irreversibly encrypted account number can be transmitted to a processing party as part of a transmission packet. The processing party can extract other information from the transmission packet to determine one or more registered account numbers that may match the irreversibly encrypted account number. Using the same encryption algorithm used to create the transmission packet, the processing party can create a verification packet by encrypting the one or more registered account numbers and determine if the verification packet matches the transmission packet. As a result, financial account information can be transmitted in such a way that it cannot be intercepted and then used to perform an unauthorized transaction.

US Classification:

336 58, 336 90

Abstract:

An inductor comprises a ferromagnetic core, a litz wire conductor encircling the ferromagnetic core, a housing, a bobbin, a conductive pin, and a seal assembly. The housing encloses the ferromagnetic core and the litz wire conductor. The conductive pin is conductively attached to the litz wire conductor, and extends therefrom to form an external electrical contact. The bobbin supports the litz wire conductor and positions the conductive pin in alignment with an aperture in the housing which is sealed against fluid egress by the seal assembly.

Abstract:

A cooling arrangement for a motor assembly includes a motor operably connected to a load. Also included is a motor controller disposed adjacent to, and fluidly coupled to, the motor, the motor controller disposed within a housing enclosing a cooling fluid for immersion of a plurality of motor controller components. Further included is a duct arrangement configured to route a cooling flow to a location proximate the housing of the motor controller for cooling therealong.
