IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2010-05-14
Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems pertaining to the verification of portable consumer devices are disclosed. In one implementation, a verification token is coupled to a computer by a USB  connection so as to use the computer's networking facilities. The verification token reads identification information from a user's portable consumer device (e.g., credit card) and sends the information to a validation entry over a communications network using the computer's networking facilities. The validation entity applies one or more validation tests to the information that it receives from the verification token. If a selected number of tests are passed, the validation entity sends a device verification value to the verification token, and optionally to a payment processing network. The verification token may enter the device verification value into a CVV field of a web page appearing on the computer's display, or may display the value to the user using the computer's display.

Title: Methods for preventing proppant carryover from fractures, and gravel-packed filter
Inventor: PERSHIKOVA ELENA MIKHAILOVNA
IPC: C09K8/80
Filed: 2007-12-10
Abstract: This invention relates to the oil and gas industry, in particular, to methods affecting the formation productivity at the oil and gas production stage.   A method for fracture propping in a subsurface layer, which ensures a reliable protection of wells from the proppant carryover from the fracture, has been proposed.  According to the proposed method, a fracturing fluid is mixed with a propping agent and granulated binding material with a length-to-width ratio of less than or equal to 10;  thereafter, a formation fracturing process is implemented. Then, the granulated binding material hardens and forms a homogenous firm mass with the propping agent, which impedes the closing of the fracture and precludes proppant carryover from the fracture.  Or, a fracturing fluid composition obtained by mixing a propping agent with a binding compound in the form of a powder whose size varies from about 1 to about 500 µm. A  gravel-packed filter is then constructed; the said filter is based on the application of the working fluid comprising a propping filler and granulated binding component with a length-to-width ratio of less than or equal to 10, or comprising a propping filler and a binding compound in the form of a powder with a size varying from about I to about 500 microns.
