20150363603 | Dynamic Filtering and Precision Alteration of Query Responses Responsive to Request Load - Embodiments relate to processing a request from a user device for access rights for a resource. An access management system can send a request to query a (e.g., cached or authoritative) data store for available access rights. The query may include an exact-match or fuzzy query. A set of access-right results responsive to the query can be identified. The system may transmit a communication to the user device that identifies the set, or a subset thereof. Upon receiving a selection of a result, the system can facilitate assigning access rights corresponding to the identified result to the user. In some instances, a level of precision at which a characteristic of an access-right result is identified and/or whether or how access rights are held depends on a request load. | 12-17-2015 |

20090026216 | Collapsible Storage Container - The present invention relates to a heat molded, plastic, closable, collapsible container (“Container”). Currently, heat molded containers are used to hold liquids and solids such as laundry detergent and kitty litter. Heat molded, plastic containers are often manufactured at one location and transported to another location to be filled. The cost of shipping may be calculated on a space occupied basis. The present invention will reduce the cost of shipping because the Container can be compressed prior to shipping thereby occupying a smaller space. Additionally, the present invention can be collapsed as the product inside is used to save storage space or after the product inside is consumed so that the discarded Container occupies less volume in the home or commercial recycle bin. | 01-29-2009 |
20090044430 | Customized Interchangeable Apparel Logo - The current invention has been developed to provide apparel and accessory manufacturers an opportunity to capitalize on consumer's identification with its logo/trademark. Apparel and accessory manufacturers, especially athletic shoe manufacturers, have created a multi-billion dollar business selling shoes with a particular logo/trademark. Adults and youth often have several pair of athletic and other shoes which only the color of the logo/trademark varies in color. The current invention will allow manufacturers to produce a shoe that will allow the user to change the color and/or style of the logo/trademark. The shoe would come with a removable logo/trademark which can be interchanged with another logo/trademark of the same brand. To prevent an unauthorized manufacturer from selling the interchangeable logo/trademarks, each shoe is equipped with a female receptacle which will engage with a predetermined male post locking the logo/trademark into place. Each manufacturer would have a female receptacle and male post unique to it. Manufacturers can, on a seasonable basis, for example, change the style of its logo/trademarks and/or the female receptacle and male post to assure sales. | 02-19-2009 |

20100066506 | ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MONITORING OF OBJECTS OR AN ENVIRONMENT - A system provides for remote monitoring using asynchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) communication techniques between a base station and one or more transponders. Each transponder is attached or otherwise associated with an object or an environment to be monitored. Upon receipt of an interrogation signal, a transponder generates and transmits a coded transponder signal containing the monitored data. The coded transponder signal is generated using a spreading code. Each transponder is associated with a unique, mutually exclusive set of spreading codes. Each spreading code is based on a unique transponder address and the monitored data to be sent. A detector asynchronously monitors received signals for any of the available spreading codes. Once the detector detects a particular spreading code, the base station can identify the source transponder and extract the monitored data. | 03-18-2010 |

20120105949 | Additive Manufacturing-Based Compact Epifluorescence Microscope - An epifluorescence microscope achieves a compact form factor without sacrificing optical sensitivity by the novel use of combined optic mounts and light baffles constructed using additive manufacturing processes. The use of additive manufacturing enables stray-light-capturing structures that are not practical to make by other techniques. Some embodiments of the present invention do not require installation of filters by an operator, reducing the likelihood of dust and contamination on optical surfaces. Some embodiments of the present invention employ a novel light path that avoids passing the fluorescent light through off-axis elements. This optical arrangement provides for the use of a microscope objective having a finite corrected-image distance, such as a DIN objective, rather than infinity-corrected objective that require additional optical elements to form an image. The reduction in complexity can both reduce system cost and improve optical performance by reducing Fresnel losses and imaging artifacts from Fresnel reflections. | 05-03-2012 |
