20150250104 | Landscape Border Framing Unit and Method - A framing unit used with a plurality of replaceable panels that form a vertical retaining wall or a rigid enclosure used to make raised planting beds. The framing unit includes two vertical end connectors, two horizontal top rails, at least one bottom rail, and a plurality of vertical panels. Each end connector includes two side flanges joined to form a vertical channel Formed on the outside surface of each connector is at least one hinge sleeve offset from the hinge sleeve on the opposite end connector. The sleeves on opposite end connectors are offset enabling adjacent framing units to be joined with a single anchor pin. The bottom and the two top rails are parallel and extend between the two end connectors. The top rails are separated by an upper gap that allow a plurality of vertical panels to be inserted into and supported by a channel formed on the bottom rail. The top edges of the panels are captured by the two top rails. | 09-10-2015 |

20090021795 | MARKING IMAGES OF TEXT WITH SPECKLE PATTERNS FOR THEFT DETERRENCE - The present invention provides methods and apparatus for embedding an identifying pattern of visible speckles into the digitized image of each page of a document. A speckle is a cluster of black or white pixels. Speckles are printed as black speckles on the white paper, or conversely, as areas of missing black removed from the black text characters, called white speckles. The collective pattern of all embedded black and white speckles on a single document page is called a specklemark. A specklemark can survive contrast manipulations on photocopiers and binary rasterization done by fax scanning prior to data transmission. The random pattern of the black and white speckles visible in the digitized image of a document page can be detected automatically, and by systematically matching the detected pattern with those known to have been embedded into marked copies of a document page, a specific document copy can be identified. Methods for composing, embedding and detecting specklemarks are the subject of this patent. | 01-22-2009 |

20150071757 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REPOSITIONING OBJECTS - Systems for repositioning objects, such as, for example, food items in a refrigerator, are provided. The systems may include a platform having a support surface upon which the objects are supported, an electromagnet positioned beneath the platform, a motion system coupled to electromagnet, and a control system electronically and/or communicatively coupled to the motion system and the electromagnet. The control system may be configured to controllably move the electromagnet beneath the support surface and to selectively activate and deactivate the electromagnet in coordination with said movement to reposition the objects. Related methods of repositioning objects are also provided. | 03-12-2015 |

20140090850 | SHALE OIL AND GAS FRACTURING FLUIDS CONTAINING ADDITIVES OF LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT - The present invention relates to improved chemical additives for use in hydraulic fracturing fluids for the recovery of oil or natural gas entrained in deep-layer shale formations. Many chemical agents currently in use in such water/sand (or other proppants) mixtures could pose human and animal health risks if these chemicals migrate from the shale beds into the environment contaminating the water table, rivers, streams and lakes. The fracturing fluid chemical additives of this invention are designed to be retained or anchored in or near the deep shale layers and are prevented, or greatly delayed from upward migration. Specifically, many chemical additives required for proper fracturing fluid performance can be chemically bonded to inert particulate materials before incorporation into said fluids. The fracturing fluid chemical additives are able to perform their function in the shale fracturing process, and then become nearly permanently trapped in the shale layers protecting the environment above. | 04-03-2014 |

20090044722 | Processing for producing zein articles with limited solubility - Zein articles are prepared by a melt process where zein is mixed with glyoxal and an inorganic base solution at temperatures above about 40° C. The melt processing can take as a batch process (e.g., as in a torque rheometer) or in a continuous process (e.g., as in reaction extrusion using a screw extruder). This process provides a zein article that has greatly reduced solubility in most of the standard organic solvents that will dissolve unaltered zein. | 02-19-2009 |

20110105823 | Medical Template Device and Method for Use in Positioning Therapeutic Probes at a Target Tissue - Medical template device and method for use in positioning therapeutic probes at a target tissue are provided. The template device includes a frame and a pierceable probe guide secured by the frame. The probe guide has a probe guide pattern such as a grid pattern, wherein the pierceable probe guide is capable of being pierced at any location along its surface by a therapeutic probe. In one embodiment, the pierceable probe guide is a film having a solid surface without any pre-formed apertures. This allows a physician to more accurately position the probes with narrower spacing. | 05-05-2011 |

20100122326 | Systems and Methods for State-Less Authentication - Systems and methods for providing user logon and state-less authentication are described in a distributed processing environment. Upon an attempted access by a user to an online resource, transaction, or record, a logon component asks the user to supply a logon ID and a password. The logon component verifies the provided information, and upon successful identification, a security context is constructed from information relevant to the user. The security context is sent to the user and is presented to the system each time the user attempts to invoke a new resource, such as a program object, transaction, record, or certified printer avoiding the need for repeated logon processing. | 05-13-2010 |
