20080260149 | Method and System for Mobile Device Credentialing - Methods and systems taught herein allow mobile device manufacturers to preconfigure mobile devices for subscription with any network operator having access to a centralized device directory server. The directory server stores device records, each including a preliminary subscription identity. Manufacturers individually provision new mobile devices with these preliminary subscription identities, and network operators preliminarily register subscribers by submitting requests to the directory server that cause it to link individual device records with the appropriate credential server addresses. Mobile devices gain temporary network access by submitting their preliminary subscription identities, which get passed along to the directory server for verification. In turn, the directory server generates authentication vectors giving the mobile devices temporary network access, and returns the appropriate credential server addresses. The mobile devices use the address information to submit secure requests for permanent subscription credentials, and the involved credential servers securely return permanent subscription credentials responsive to valid requests. | 10-23-2008 |

20090235918 | Cooking Griddle and Associated Gas Flow Control Arrangement - A cooking apparatus includes a housing and a cooking plate having an upper cooking surface for receiving food product and an opposite surface for being heated. First and second gas burners are located within the housing and below the cooking plate for heating the cooking plate and a pilot burner is provided. A non-powered mechanical thermocouple probe is located proximate the pilot burner and has a bi-metal element that produces an electrical signal when heated by flame from the pilot burner. A pilot shutoff valve has an inlet connected to receive gaseous fuel from a gaseous fuel manifold, a pilot output connected to deliver gas to the pilot burner, a main burner output connected to deliver gas to both the first gas burner and the second gas burner, and a thermocouple probe input connected to receive the electrical signal produced by the bi-metal element of the mechanical thermocouple probe.
