20090002375Method for automatic font character height restriction - A method is provided for reducing a height of a font character in a nonlinear scaling process. The method includes reducing the height of the character by interacting with hinting instruction to adjust relevant instructions to thereby reduce the overall height of a font character while preserving as much of the integrity of the character as possible. The method includes an iterative process which selectively removes various pixels, defining an outline of a font character while maintaining a removal criteria, which results in a nonlinear height reduction in order to produce a font of a desired height.01-01-2009

20100055379APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A FLEXIBLE EXTERNAL SURFACE SHIELD ON A RECREATIONAL BOARD - An invention is provided for a flexible external surface shield for use while operating a recreational board. An embodiment of the invention includes a shaped material having an outer edge, an upper surface, and a lower surface. Also included is a casting, which is formed along the outer edge and includes a stretchable material capable of creating an inward force on the casting such that the casting forms an edge of an underside opening partially enclosing the lower surface of the shaped material. Further included is a plurality of fasteners disposed across the underside opening.

20110122865METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS AND EGRESS UNIFORM RESOURCE IDENTIFIERS FOR ROUTING - A method and apparatus for providing routing of calls in a packet network, e.g., a Voice over Internet Protocol (IP) network, using one or more criteria extracted from signaling information to determine the routing for the calls are disclosed. In one embodiment, the routing criteria extracted from signaling messages comprises at least one of: an access Uniform Resource Identifier, a destination phone number, a destination URI host, a calling party number, a calling party URI host, an incoming IP address, or a requested codec. An access URI and the egress URI are used to enhance routing decisions in a VoIP network. For instance, the egress URI can be used to specify egress route selections from the egress point of a VoIP network. The access URI can be used to influence the routing decisions within the VoIP network as well as the routing decisions with regard to egress routes from the egress point of the VoIP network.05-26-2011

20090285619Combination nail polish remover and applicator bottle - A dual purpose fluid container for an integrated makeup kit, particularly an integrated nail makeup kit, wherein the nail polish, polish applicator brush, nail polish remover solvent, and nail polish remover pads are combined in a size and shape that is easily carried in a modestly sized purse or handbag, but which can quickly and easily be separated into a conventional nail polish applicator bottle with brush, and a jar containing a plurality of nail polish remover pads saturated with solvent. When separated, each of the bottle and jar can rest on a flat surface, or be readily held in one's hand, such that each can be used independently of the other, in any sequence or order, without danger of spillage or mutual contamination. In one embodiment, a removable cover is positionable to separate the nail polish remover pads from external environments, including the nail polish applicator bottle when the bottle and jar are attached.11-19-2009
20110088710COMBINATION NAIL POLISH REMOVER AND APPLICATOR BOTTLE - A multi purpose fluid container for an integrated makeup kit, particularly an integrated nail makeup kit, wherein a plurality of varieties of nail polishes, polish applicator brush, nail polish remover solvent, and nail polish remover pads are combined in a size and shape that is easily carried in a modestly sized purse or handbag, but which can quickly and easily be separated into a plurality of conventional nail polish applicator bottles with brush, and a jar containing a plurality of nail polish remover pads saturated with solvent. When separated, the bottles and jar can rest on a flat surface, or be readily held in one's hand, such that the bottles and jar can be used independently of each other, in any sequence or order, without danger of spillage or contamination.04-21-2011

20100023592SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION BY PROXY - A system and method of proxy domain name registration permits a would-be domain name registrant anonymity. A registrar affords customers the opportunity to use the proxy registration. If the customer seeking registration of a domain name requests, the registrar obtains contact information needed for registration from a proxy entity established for this purpose. The registrar completes the registration of the domain name with the appropriate registry (i.e. “.com, .net” etc.). The contact information published in WHOIS is that of proxy entity. Contractually the customer is afforded control over the domain name. Emails intended for the customer are received by the proxy entity who may filter them if the customer requests. Emails sent by the customer are sent to the proxy entity who in turn sends them to the indicated addressee.01-28-2010
