20140328522 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REDUCING NOISE IN FINGERPRINT SENSING CIRCUITS - An apparatus for reducing noise in fingerprint sensing circuits is disclosed in one embodiment of the invention as including a fingerprint sensing area onto which a user can apply a fingerprint. An analog front end is coupled to the fingerprint sensing area and is configured to generate an analog response signal. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) samples the analog response signal and converts the sample to a digital value, which may be received by a digital device such as a processor or CPU. To reduce the amount of the noise that is present in the analog response signal and therefore reflected in the digital value, the digital device may be shut down while the ADC is sampling the analog response signal. | 11-06-2014 |

20130181880 | LOW PROFILE WIDEBAND MULTIBEAM INTEGRATED DUAL POLARIZATION ANTENNA ARRAY WITH COMPENSATED MUTUAL COUPLING - A low profile wideband multi-beam integrated dual polarization antenna array with compensated mutual coupling effect. Instead of suppressing mutual coupling with post-element-design techniques by attempting to block the reflections between elements, an element of the array is designed using its active impedance, i.e. its impedance with mutual coupling once the element is part of the array. The active impedance is determined using various simulation techniques and the element is then designed such that its impedance is shifted in order to modify its active impedance. This technique does not reduce the mutual coupling itself but instead, compensates for the mutual coupling effect and improves the return loss of the element. | 07-18-2013 |

When either of the first and the second seismic sources are determined to be unready to perform seismic sweeps, the method includes (a) determining a predicted time delay that will transpire before the first and the second seismic sources will both be ready to perform seismic sweeps; (b) determining a predicted distance that will exist between the first and second seismic sources once the first and second sources are both ready to perform seismic sweeps; (c) determining the predicted time delay meets a time threshold and the predicted distance meets the distance threshold, and then (d) initiating simultaneous seismic sweeping with the first and second seismic sources after the first and the second seismic sources are both ready to perform seismic sweeps | 03-29-2012 |

20130250723 | SWEEP SEQUENCE DETERMINATION FOR OVERLAPPING SWEEPS - An embodiment of the invention includes combining pseudorandom sweeps with an independent, or nearly independent, survey acquisition technique. Targeted design of pseudorandom sweeps can direct the majority of cross-correlation noise to lie outside key time-lags of the record (i.e., windows of interest). Embodiments of the invention are described herein. | 09-26-2013 |

20130096844 | DETECTION OF CONDITIONS FROM SOUND - Disclosed are various systems, methods, and programs embodied in a computer-readable medium for sound analysis. The sound analysis involves transforming a sound print into a frequency domain in a memory to generate a frequency spectrum. A plurality of signatures are identified in the frequency spectrum. Also, a plurality of frequency ranges associated with the signatures are identified in the sound print. The frequencies associated with a physiological profile are cross-referenced with the frequency ranges to determine if the physiological profile is applicable to the sound print. | 04-18-2013 |

20140151076 | Apparatus to move in tow farm implements - An apparatus to move in-tow at least one farm implement. The apparatus is an elongated rectangular member that has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A movement transfer mechanism is connected between the elongated rectangular member's first end and the farm implement. The apparatus has a first wheel mounted on one side of the elongated rectangular member's first end and a second wheel mounted on the other side of the elongated rectangular member's first end. A third wheel is mounted adjacent to the second end of the elongated rectangular member. The wheels may, if desired, be ground engaging wheels. | 06-05-2014 |

20140099915 | System and Method for Utilizing a User's Mobile Phone Account as a Funding Source - The invention generally pertains to a method for providing a purchase incentive associated with the purchase of a product bundle to an end user using a mobile device connected to a transaction server over a mobile phone network. By way of example, a secure connection is created over the mobile phone network to exchange information between the transaction server and the mobile device. The end user selects the desired product bundle level—as a result receives a purchase incentive, i.e., cash rebate, remittance, refund and/or other monies—and delivery method using the mobile device. The mobile device connects to a third party payment processor over a secure connection, which charges the end user for the purchase of the product bundle. Specifically, the third party payment processor charges the purchase to the user's mobile phone account with a mobile carrier. Once the end user is notified of the successful purchase transaction, the desired value is delivered to the end user using the user selected delivery method. | 04-10-2014 |
