20090235589 | BREAKAWAY ELEMENTS FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-MOVING DOOR - A horizontal side-moving door with a side-winding curtain or horizontally translating panel includes a breakaway brace that helps hold a relatively rigid leading edge of the curtain or panel in a substantially vertical orientation. Should a forklift accidentally strike the leading edge of the curtain or panel, a replaceable shear pin incorporated in the brace breaks away to release the leading edge, thus protecting the edge from damage. Although the shear pin can break into two or more pieces, the brace includes means for holding the pieces in place and preventing them from falling and hitting anything underneath the pin. Although with some limitations, the door is still operational even while the pin is broken. | 09-24-2009 |

To access the roller for servicing, the frame elements allow the shroud to be selectively moved (without the use of tools) between an installed position and a retracted position. In some cases, the breakaway feature enables the shroud to break away in certain directions easier than others. In some embodiments, the shroud includes a seal that engages the curtain when the shroud is in the installed position. | 09-24-2009 |
20100218429 | UPPER SEAL FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-MOVING DOOR - An example of a horizontal side-moving door with a side-winding or horizontally translating curtain includes an upper seal comprising an upper edge of the curtain sliding within a groove of a seal guide. To protect the door in the event of an impact, at least a portion of the curtain's upper edge can restorably pull out from within the groove. To avoid damage in certain situations, the seal guide might resiliently deflect as well. After an impact, the curtain's upper edge is automatically fed back into the groove by simply opening and closing the door. During normal operation, the curtain's upper edge advantageously deflects in response to air pressure against either side of the door. In some examples, the seal guide is of a uniform cross-section, which makes the seal guide easy to manufacture by way of a conventional plastic extrusion process. | 09-02-2010 |

20080230459 | Enhancing Water Mobility Using Low Frequency Pulses - A method to enhance water flow through a medium includes positioning like poles of two magnets adjacent to create a magnetic flux field at a region corresponding to a position at which the like poles are adjacent, maintaining pressure sufficient to at least partially overcome a quiescent-repulsive force between the adjacent like poles to amplify the magnetic flux field at the region, flowing water through the amplified magnetic flux field at the region at a flow rate selected based on a natural frequency related to a medium through which the water is to flow, the flowing inducing a pulse in the water having a frequency depending on the selected flow rate, and transmitting the water carrying the pulse at the frequency to the medium to produce resonance with the natural frequency of the medium, the resonance causing a decrease in a compaction of the medium. | 09-25-2008 |

20150121536 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROTECTING SOFTWARE FROM UNAUTHORIZED COPYING - A processing device provides a method for protecting a program from unauthorized copying. The processing device may include an encrypted version of the program. According to one example method, the processing device creates a secure enclave, and in response to a request to execute the encrypted program, the processing device automatically generates a decrypted version of the program in the secure enclave by decrypting the encrypted program in the secure enclave. After automatically generating the decrypted version of the program in the secure enclave, the processing device may automatically execute the decrypted version of the program in the secure enclave. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 04-30-2015 |

20120259794 | Method and Apparatus for Visualizing and Analyzing Unit Pricing for Digital Product Purchases to Determine Revenue Optimization Opportunities for Service Provider - Customers who purchase a digital service under a subscription-like payment model are grouped according the value each receives, which is computed from stored transaction data as the amount the customer pays divided by the benefit the customer receives. Customers who pay more or less than a mid-range “normal” price may be given price adjustments to bring the value they receive closer to the normal price. | 10-11-2012 |
20120284074 | Method and Apparatus for Business Planning & Prediction Using Value Rank - Users of a subscription product or service are ranked according to the value they receive from the service (computed as the ratio between worth received and cost). Users with similar value ranks are identified as likely to experience similar relationship events. This identification is acted upon by scheduling a workflow (e.g., a sales call or special price offer) designed to encourage or discourage the similar relationship event from occurring with the identified users. Value-ranked users can also be used to understand the effectiveness of marketing and lead-development activities, and to help plan and allocate advertising budgets to achieve particular customer characteristics. | 11-08-2012 |
20140289081 | Method and Apparatus for Business Planning using Recurring Revenue Allocation - Access or utilization data of multiple products and services that are offered to customers on a “right-to-use” basis is analyzed to allocate revenues generated by the products fairly among them, for purposes such as business planning, performance measurement and account service. | 09-25-2014 |
