Title: Credit card system and method
Inventor: O'DONNELL GRAHAM
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 1999-03-25
Abstract: A credit card system (100) is provided which has the added feature of providing additional limited-use credit card numbers (126) and/or cards. These numbers and/or cards can be used for a single transaction, thereby reducing the potential for fraudulent reuse of these numbers and/or cards. The credit card system finds application to "card remote" transactions such as by phone or Internet (112). Additionally, when a single use credit card is used for "card present" transactions, so called "skimming" fraud is eliminated. Various other features enhance the credit card system which will allow secure trade with the use of elaborate encryption techniques.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for associating an auditory cue with a navigational aid for use in navigating the Internet is disclosed. At least one element of a history or bookmark list, regardless of the structural representation of that list, of a browser is associated with a sound. In particular, "sound bytes" are stored in wave files on a storage medium of a computer running the browser. At least one element, e.g., a web page name, of the history list is associated with one of the stored wave files. The associated sound is played when the web page is accessed and may be heard again when passing a cursor over the name in a history mechanism, or reaccessing the web page. Thus, a user can associate particular locations on the web with particular sounds.

Title: An improved synthesis and purification of (r*,r*)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol hydrochloride
Inventor: JARVI ESA T
IPC: C07B49/00
Filed: 1999-05-20
Abstract: (R*,R*)-2-[ (dimethylamino) methyl]-1-( 3-methoxyphenyl) cyclohexanol (Tramadol) is synthesized in a Grignard reaction in the presence of an additive resulting in a higher trans:cis ratio of product than is obtained i n the absence of the additive. The Grignard reaction between 3 bromoanisole an d the appropriate Mannich base in the presence of an amine or ether additive gives the amine product in an improved trans/cis ratio. The base is converte d to its hydrochloride and recrystallized from a low molecular weight nitrile such as acetonitrile until a greater than 98 % trans/cis ratio is obtained. Recrystallization from isopropanol gives (R*,R*)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1 - (3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol hydrochloride free of the nitrile solvent. A hydrochloride of Tramadol can be synthesized without increasing a ratio of trans:cis by including a step in which HCl is added to Tramadol base in the presence of toluene.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for non-invasively measuring a biological attribute, such as the concentration of an analyte, particularly a blood analyte in tissue such as glucose. The method utilizes spectrographic techniques in conjunction with an improved subject tailored calibration model. In a calibration phase, calibration model data is modified to reduce or eliminate subject-specific attributes, resulting in a calibration data set modeling within subject physiological variation, sample location, insertion variations, and instrument variation. In a prediction phase, the prediction process is tailored for each target subject separately using a minimal number of spectral measurements from each subject.

Inventor: GALL GEORGE
IPC: B65D88/16
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: This invention relates to a collapsible and free standing pressure vessel, designed for the transportation of fluids or semi-fluids, to offshore installations. The invention described here is a multipurpose flexible containment device, and unlike its nearest rival, has a self stabilising bottom. The container is ball shaped with a base ring which is an integral part of the fluid carrying capacity and when filled the unit automatically inflates to its ball shape with the base ring giving a donut effect allowing maximum stability. It is a space saving device when empty, and the outer webbing not only acts as a built-in lifting device for engagement with a crane, but is also an integrated part of the structure, adding durability and extra strength. The unit has a removable liner for toxic or non-toxic materials, in the event that the unit has to carry a different type of material back from the offshore location.
