20150198553 | DEVICE FOR PROVIDING A MEANS FOR INTERNAL CALIBRATION IN AN ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR - Internally calibrated pH and other analyte sensors based on redox agents provide more accurate results when the redox active reference agent is in a constant chemical environment, yet separated from the solution being analyzed in such a way as to maintain electrical contact with the sample. Room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) can be used to achieve these results when used as a salt bridge between the reference material and the sample being analyzed. The RTIL provides the constant chemical environment and ionic strength for the redox active material (RAM) and provides an electrolytic layer that limits or eliminates direct chemical interaction with the sample. A broad range of RAMs can be employed in a variety of configurations in such “Analyte Insensitive Electrode” devices. | 07-16-2015 |

20090106557 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INDICATING TRUSTWORTHINESS OF SECURE COMMUNICATIONS - Embodiments of the present invention enable a message recipient or messaging system to indicate the trustworthiness of a message, especially messages that comprise content that has been digitally signed. In addition, embodiments may alter or control the message to change user behavior by preventing the user from doing things that the message would induce the user into doing. In some embodiments, various characteristics and indicia of the message are determined. For example, for e-mail messages having digitally signed content, certain embodiments may determine the entity or entities asserting a basis for trust, the status or role of the sender, the name of the sender, the affiliation of the sender, the messaging address the location, and the most recent status of the trust relationship. Based on the determined indicia, a plain language notification is composed and the message is displayed with the notification. For example, the notification may be displayed in a display bar above or below the message's contents, or may appear as a pop-up window. In addition, in some embodiments, the recipient may provide his or her assessment of the indicia, such as the accuracy, reliability, and the trustworthiness of the indicia. The history of interactions between various parties related to the message may also be considered. For example, the history of interactions between the sender and recipient may be considered. The trustworthiness of the certification authority or other entity may also be considered. | 04-23-2009 |

20100121928 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ALLOCATING AND INDICATING TRUSTWORTHINESS OF SECURE COMMUNICATIONS - Embodiments of the present invention enable allocating and indicating the trustworthiness of a message, especially messages that comprise content that has been digitally signed. In some embodiments, a provider of assurance services and assurance software provides trust attestations related to messages and may manipulate the user interface used to view these messages. The trust attestations may be computed by various methods. The trust attestations may then be presented when the message is displayed to the user using the assurance software. For example, the trust attestations may be displayed as user interface elements in a designated portion of the chrome of a messaging service, such as a webmail service. In one embodiment, the assurance software can run on the webmail service and the trust attestations in the chrome are served up via techniques for delivery of client-server presentation data. In another embodiment, the assurance software is implemented as software that runs on the client and may perform some computations on the client in order to manipulate the messaging service's chrome. In yet another embodiment, the assurance software may run as an extension to an e-mail client that runs on a user's machine. The assurance software is configured to work with the presenter of the message, but independently of the presenter. | 05-13-2010 |

20100166576 | Magnetic Air Car - A magnetic air car uses a magnetic motor to compress input air and save moderately compressed high-pressure air in storage tanks. The compressor and storage tanks deliver the high-pressure working air and operational flows to several stages of compressors that boost the pressures during driving to very high-pressure, then ultra high-pressure, then super high-pressure, and finally to extremely high-pressure. A pneumatic torque converter uses jets of the extremely high-pressure to turn an input shaft of a transmission and differential. These, in turn, drive the powered wheels of a car. The compressors float a connecting shaft with matching vanes and impellers on opposite ends on air bearings to reduce shaft turning friction to near zero. The balance of forces between the two ends of a coupled turbo pair allow a simple air bearing design to operate safely and reliably at high rotational speeds. | 07-01-2010 |
20100244776 | Magnetic Motor - A magnetic motor system includes a brushless motor with interdigitated permanent magnets longitudinally mounted on a rotor at equal radial positions, and stator windings to drive the rotor in response to pulses from a timer/driver, and stationary recapture windings to recover energy that would otherwise go to waste. One set of batteries is used to drive the motor through the timer/driver, and bridge rectifiers connected to the stationary recapture windings provide electrical current to charge a second set of batteries. The rotor shaft output provides kinetic energy to drive electrical generators, air compressors, etc. A shaft encoder connected to the rotor provides the information needed by the timer/driver to know which stator winding should be pulsed and with what polarity. A power pulse is provided at least every 12.5 degrees of rotation, making the motor self starting. | 09-30-2010 |
20120055148 | MAGNETIC MOTOR AND AUTOMOBILE - A magnetic motor automobile carries a magnetic motor and star rotor compressor to pack high-pressure input air into its on-board storage tanks.
