20120101949 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC RENEWABILITY OF CONTENT - A method and apparatus for dynamically and transparently renewing licenses associated with downloaded content. Licensing associated with content can allow the provider to retain control over the content after it has been downloaded on to the user's computer. A license file or similar licensing parameter is the key to retaining control over access to the content after it has been downloaded. The license file may also control copying of the content on to computers other than the original computer used. The dynamic renewal method will transparently renew the license files on a user's computer to allow the associated content to be used without disruption as long as the user's account is in good standing. | 04-26-2012 |

20100293307 | PROGRAMMABLE ROUTING MODULE - A programmable routing module is disclosed for interconnecting field wiring with a control system. The routing module includes a field connection to connect field signals from a controlled process to the routing module, an I/O connection to connect I/O signals from the control system to the routing module, and a configurable interconnection system that selectively couples particular field and I/O signals with one another. | 11-18-2010 |
20110320028 | SIGHT-LINE NON CONTACT COUPLED WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY - Control systems and methods are disclosed for controlling operation of movable systems in an automated process with a stationary system having a first control system component and at least one movable system having a second control system component, in which optical or other non-contacting signaling between the stationary and movable systems is used to ascertain whether a movable system is proximate the stationary system, and wireless communications is used to transfer control data between the systems while the non-contacting signal link is maintained. | 12-29-2011 |

20130032082 | AREA PROTECTION SYSTEM - An area protection system deters predators/varmint from specific areas, such as vegetable gardens, shrubs, flower beds and the like. The system includes a horn that sounds an alert when the predator/varmint pulls a trip wire that circumscribes the area where protection is desired. The system does not use harmful chemicals or electric shock and does not require an electricity supply or batteries. The system is simple to set-up and maintain. The system can be set up in straight runs, circles, squares, and up and down elevations, making the system versatile. | 02-07-2013 |

20100175023 | REVEALING OF TRUNCATED CONTENT ON SCROLLABLE GRID - Various embodiments related to the revealing of truncated content on a scrollable grid are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a computing device comprising a display, a processor, and memory comprising instructions executable by the processor to display a cell of a grid of content at a first, smaller size and display in the cell a content item that is truncated based upon the first, smaller size of the cell. The computing device is further configured to receive a request to scroll the grid, and scroll the grid on the display device. During scrolling, the size of the cell is increased to a second, larger size, and a revealing of a truncated portion of the content item is animated. | 07-08-2010 |

20100123399 | LED lighting system with bypass circuit for failed LED - A bypass circuit is provided for each LED in a series to permit continued operation with reduced lighting in the event of an LED failure. The bypass circuit is provided in parallel to the LED and comprises a Zener Diode provided in parallel to a thyristor. Upon LED failure, the voltage across the Zener Diode is increased thereby triggering the thyristor which is maintained in a triggered mode as long as current flows through the series circuit. | 05-20-2010 |
20100124057 | LED light source assembly with heat sink and heat conductive glass cover - An LED assembly comprising an LED light source positioned between a heat sink and a heat conductive glass element, and at least one hold-down element, such that the hold-down element provides a compressive force to hold the heat conductive glass element against the LED light source, thereby pressing the LED light source against the heat sink. In one example, a ⅛ inch glass element with a surface area of five times the LED diffuser surface area is held over the LED light source by one or more sections of spring wire inserted through holes in the heat sink. | 05-20-2010 |
20100148586 | LED lighting controller - A switch mode power supply controller provides power to a pair of light sources. The controller includes a low voltage programmable current source and adjusting elements for independently adjusting the current to the LED light sources. The controller also includes a first communication port for receiving a communication from an external device, such as a dimmer, or from another power supply controller; and a second communication port for sending a communication to a third power supply controller. These ports provide an upstream and downstream communication capability through a chain of controllers so that input from a device can be communicated upstream and downstream. | 06-17-2010 |
