20110161345 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RETRIEVAL OF INFORMATION CONTAINED IN SLIDE KITS - A slide kit contains slides having citations. The slides are loaded into memory, and the citations are automatically parsed. The system automatically connects to external databases to obtain and download texts associated with the citations, so that the user can review the slides together with such texts. The system also allows the user to select slides from a list of citations, so as to determine which slides contain a particular citation. In another embodiment, the system enables the user to define a search which is executed among the texts associated with citations contained in the slide kit. Thus, in general, the result of the search may include slides which may or may not themselves contain the search terms. In this way, the user may retrieve slides based on their general relevance, without regard to the specific words shown on the slides. | 06-30-2011 |

The audio comments may also be transcribed in text form. In another embodiment, comments may be associated with various portions of a video, in the same manner. A video navigation bar is coded to indicate which portions of the video are associated with comments. Alternatively, certain attributes of the video can be altered to indicate the presence of comments associated with specific scenes of the video. | 06-30-2011 |

20090133315 | Detachable Sinker With Water Soluble Attachment - A detachable sinker automatically detaches from fishing line after immersion in water. The sinker includes weight attachable to the line by means of a rapidly disintegrating water soluble material. The disintegrating material may comprise a product that when dry withstands a casting load and when wet rapidly dissolves. The weight may be biodegradable or dissolvable. The sinker may include a wildlife attractant released by the disintegrating material or by the dissolvable weight, may be rated according to an approximate time or depth at which the weight or attractant will release from the line, may display readable indicia corresponding to a weight value, a release time, or a depth, and may include an attachment means coupling the disintegrating material to the line, such as an elongated clamp for compressing the fishing line and the disintegrating material, a mass of moldable adhesive, or a perforated attachment for threading the disintegrating material therethrough. The sinker may be an assembly including the detachable sinker and a fixed sinker. | 05-28-2009 |
20130247447 | Detachable Sinker With Water Soluble Attachment - A detachable sinker automatically detaches from fishing line after immersion in water.

20140190066 | Detachable Clamping Sinker With Water Soluble Detachment - A detachable clamping sinker automatically detaches from fishing line after immersion in water. The sinker includes a first weighted half, and a second weighted half that is moveable relative to the first weighted half. An elastic tie assembly couples the first weighted half to the second weighted half. The elastic tie assembly includes an elastic member, and an externally exposed rapidly disintegrating water soluble material linking the elastic member to one of the weighted halves. The elastic member under tension imparts a force holding the first weighted half against the second weighted half to clamp a fishing line therebetween. The disintegrating material when dry withstands a casting load and when wet rapidly dissolves to release the tension that clamps the fishing line. The weighted halves may be biodegradable or dissolvable. | 07-10-2014 |
20140311012 | Releasable Sinkers for Marine Applications - Releasable sinkers for marine applications are described, each of which utilizes rapidly disintegrating water soluble material as an attachment means or as part of an attachment assembly for securing a weight to fishing line. Depending on the configuration of the rapidly disintegrating water soluble material, after exposing the sinker to water, for example, by casting a line into the water or by returning a caught fish back into the water, the rapidly disintegrating water soluble material will dissolve, thereby releasing the sinker from the fishing line. The weighted portion of the sinker, which provides the majority of sinker weight, may be preferably formed from an organic material that will also eventually dissolve in water, although at a much slower rate than the rapidly disintegrating water soluble material. | 10-23-2014 |

20090254750 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE WORKGROUP MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION - A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser may split or share a data set into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting an original data set into portions of data that may be communicated using one or more communications paths. Secure workgroup communication is supported through the secure distribution and management of a workgroup key for use with the secure data parser. | 10-08-2009 |
20110202755 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA IN MOTION - Two approaches are provided for distributing trust among a set of certificate authorities. Both approaches are equally secure. In each approach, a secure data parser is integrated with any suitable encryption technology. Each approach may be used to secure data in motion. One approach provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to distribute trust in a set of certificate authorities during initial negotiation (e.g., the key establishment phase) of a connection between two devices. Another approach of the present invention provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to disperse packets of data into shares. A set of tunnels is established within a communication channel using a set of certificate authorities, keys developed during the establishment of the tunnels are used to encrypt shares of data for each of the tunnels, and the shares of data are transmitted through each of the tunnels. Accordingly, trust is distributed among a set of certificate authorities in the structure of the communication channel itself. | 08-18-2011 |

20110011560 | Auxiliary heater device - An auxiliary heater device is for use with a primary room heater, the primary heater having a heating element cycling between operational and non-operational phases. The heater device includes a body configured to be disposed at least generally proximal to the primary heater, the body being either formed of a thermal retentive material or containing a quantity of thermal retentive material. As such, heat generated by the primary device is absorbed by the retentive material and subsequently emitted by the retentive material into a room so that the auxiliary heater device emits heat when the primary device is in a non-operational phase to reduce temperature fluctuations within the room. Preferably, the body is formed as an elongated tube disposeable upon an upper surface of the primary heater and the thermal retentive material is a semi-solid or gel disposed within the body tube. | 01-20-2011 |
