20110083198 | PROGRAM LICENCE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE IN AN AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM - CPU of a console accepts a full application activation instruction generated via an activation instruction switch. The CPU searches through all of apparatus of a mixing system, which the console belongs to, to detect any apparatus having connected thereto a USB dongle that has recorded therein an access key corresponding to an application program to be fully activated. If such an apparatus has been detected within the mixing system, the CPU places the application program in a fully activated state. If, on the other hand, no such apparatus has been detected, the CPU terminates a full application activation process. Such arrangements allows the application program, which requires authentication of the access key, to be executed with simple operation, while preventing unauthorized use of the application program. | 2011-04-07 |

In some embodiments, a method of personalizing a portion of a device configured to be worn by a wearer as at least one of a prosthetic or an orthosis may include facilitating an application of a wearer-selected artwork to the portion of the device. For example, in various specific embodiments, the facilitating an application of a wearer-selected artwork to the portion of the device may include creating a portion of material having a wearer-specified personalization artwork, and providing the portion of material having the wearer-specified personalization artwork to at least one of the wearer or a third party for application onto the portion of the device. In some embodiments, the portion of material may be provided to at least one of the wearer or a third party for application when the portion of the device is being fabricated. | 2011-04-07 |
20110078889 | FACIAL BLEMISH REMOVING DEVICE - Methods of making a device for removing a facial blemish. A facial scraping element is configured to be substantially rigid and flat, and a distal end of the facial scraping element is transformed for contacting and advancing across a facial surface of a user. A pad member is configured to be substantially non-rigid and non-flat. The facial scraping element may be attached to the pad member to form a collection area between a surface of the pad member and a surface of the facial scraping element. The resultant device is capable of being gripped between a finger and thumb of a user and advanced across the face of a user to remove and collect facial blemishes. | 2011-04-07 |
20110078890 | METHOD FOR ALIGNING AN ELONGATED COMPONENT - A method for aligning an elongated component that is to be fitted, with at least two component segments, into two coaxial installation points (A/B; C) spaced apart from one another. In this context, the coaxiality of the component segments is checked and any existing deviation from coaxiality is measured. At least one material fusion area, limited radially and in a circumferential direction, is generated in a surface region of the component located between the component segments, at a magnitude such that as a result of the axial shrinkage ensuing upon cooling of the material fusion area, coaxiality of the component segments is produced at least within tolerable limits. | 2011-04-07 |
20110078891 | SURGICAL CARTRIDGE WALL EXPANDER - A pocket-sizing method for a device that inserts staple drivers into pockets aligned to form a slot in a surgical staple cartridge. A fin extends from a driver guide fixture for insertion into the slot. The fin increases the size of the slot, thereby aiding in inserting drivers into the pockets. Preferably a second fin extends from the driver guide fixture adjacent the fixture passage and aligned with the first fin. A gap is formed between the first and second fins, extending from a first edge to an opposite edge of the fixture passage. The driver is driven through the gap. The fins are substantially equal to the thickness of the driver. The fins have tapered leading edges to aid cartridge insertion and removal, and a lip extends from the driver guide fixture for preventing the fins from widening the slot too much and for narrowing an overly wide slot. | 2011-04-07 |
20110078892 | METHODS OF MANUFACTURING A SLIDER CLIP FOR HOLDING A PHOTOVOLTAIC STRUCTURE - Described herein is a mounting system and slider clips that support simplified installation of photovoltaic structures. The mounting system comprises a support structure which can be mounted to support columns via an optional tilt table. The support structure comprises a plurality of parallel spaced beams and a plurality of parallel spaced rails that are mounted approximately perpendicular to the beams. Disclosed embodiments describe a collapsible support structure in which the rails are pivotally mounted to the beams. Rails are preassembled with prefabricated slider clips for holding edge portions of the photovoltaic structures. Rails can also be integrally formed with slider clips. Described herein are also methods of installing one or more photovoltaic structures using the mounting system and methods for manufacturing slider clips and a photovoltaic structure mounting system. | 2011-04-07 |
20110078893 | Bicycle With Asymmetric Steerer Tube - A bicycle steerer tube assembly having an oblong asymmetric cross section formed along a portion of the steerer tube. The asymmetric portion of the steerer tube has a first diameter that is generally aligned with an axis of rotation of the front wheel and a second diameter that is generally aligned with a plane of rotation of the front wheel. The first diameter is greater than the second diameter and provides lateral stiffness to the wheel assembly and the second diameter accommodates longitudinal impact absorption of the fork and wheel assembly. | 2011-04-07 |
20110078894 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MONOLITHIC OSCILLATOR WITH BAW RESONATORS - A method of adjustment on manufacturing of a monolithic oscillator including circuit elements and a BAW resonator, this method including the steps of: a) forming the circuit elements and the resonator and electrically connecting them; b) covering the resonator with a frequency adjustment layer; c) measuring the output frequency of the oscillator; d) modifying the thickness of the frequency adjustment layer to modify the output frequency of the oscillator. | 2011-04-07 |
20110078895 | MANUFACTURING METHOD OF WIRING SUBSTRATE AND DESIGN METHOD OF WIRING SUBSTRATE - A method of manufacturing a wiring substrate includes forming a conducting layer on a first insulating layer including a first glass cloth; forming a photosensitive resist layer on the conducting layer; recognizing a first origin position on the first insulating layer; forming a mask on the resist layer by positioning the mask with respect to the first origin position, the mask being formed so as to position wiring patterns only on positions overlapping the first glass cloth in a planar view; and exposing the resist layer via the mask and forming the wiring patterns only on the positions overlapping the first glass cloth in the planar view. | 2011-04-07 |
