20100212064	Simulated preknotted, doubly adjustable, breakaway, fabric necktie - An invention comprising a simulated pre-knotted doubly adjustable breakaway fabric necktie. Sixteen parts are folded, sewn and assembled together in such manner as to produce a non-obvious single piece necktie. The assembly is best under stood when perceived in three segments. Segment #1 is comprised of seven parts which make up the neck encircling straps. Segment #2 is comprised of five parts which make up the front panels of the tie. Segment#3 comprises four parts which make up the simulated knot portion of the necktie. Segment #1 is three lengths of fabric, folded, sewn and interlocked in a manner such that a single adjustable neck strap of approximately one inch width and varied lengths to accommodate neck sizes from boys to men is produced. Two three inch straps make up the two ends of the total neck wrap. A rectangular synthetic eyelet is attached to one end of one of the three straps and the variable length center piece of the strap, which provides the adjustability, is attached to one end of the other three inch length. The second end of the center adjustable strap can then pass through the rectangular eyelet and fold back upon its self and be secured at the required length by the attachment of three pieces of adhesive materials attached along its length. One adhesive at the tip end of the adjuster strap and a three inch length of adhesive attached at a point begining where the center strap attaches to the three inch strap at its end. The third small adhesive is one half inch separate from the tip end adhesive and is merely a place to secure the tip end adhesive when necktie is not being worn to keep the strap from pulling back through the eyelet. Segment #2 is portion comprising the front most obvious view of the invention and referred to as the panels. These are constructed in a manner not unlike traditional neckties, the exception, that panels do not extend around the neck but travel from the longer and wider end of larger front panel to near the center section of the two panels where they have been separated into two parts and the back panels face reversed so that both panels now have faces pointing forward. A flexible foam material plug is secured inside a smooth fabric wrap, the wrap having an extending flap of 2¾″ which is attached in the same seam where the two panel parts are sewn together. The triangle shaped plug in the smooth wrap provides a flat top surface which allows the panels to loop over it and provide a sliding capability to give the adjustable quality to the lengths of the panels. The compressibility of the plug provides the capability of the breakaway aspect of the invention so that when the panels become caught in some way, the plug will compress allowing the panels to separate from the rest of the invention by slipping through the opening at the bottom of funnel shaped simulated knot segment formed by the knot segment wrap. Segment #3, the simulated knot segment, is comprised of four parts which are the outer wrap of the simulated knot; a filler piece of fabric to provide smoothness to the appearance of the knot, and two parts of adhesive material, which are first one each to the unsecured ends of the 3″ neck incircling straps and then attached to each of the sides of the back inner knot wrap, providing a facet of the knot segment which allows all the segments to come together within the knot wrap and then be secured as the adhesives fasten together providing a funnel shape to accept the neck straps at its top and opening at its bottom for the panels to protrude from.	08-26-2010

20090058805	Presentation system and method for making a presentation - Methods and systems are provided for making a more effective presentation to an audience. A method comprises displaying the presentation on a first display screen oriented for viewing by a presenter while facing the audience while also displaying the presentation on a second display screen (or several display screens) oriented for viewing by the audience. The presenter highlights certain aspects of the presentation by using a laser pointer directed at the first display screen which can be done while the presenter faces the audience and without having to turn away from the audience. An image representing the laser light (and any movement thereof) is displayed at a corresponding relative position on the second display screen (or several display screens) for viewing by the audience in conjunction with the presentation. A presentation system is provided with a laser sensitive presenter screen to detect the laser light which is processed and caused to be displayed to the audience on the presentation screen in conjunction with the presentation.	03-05-2009

20110272374	CLIP FOR CONVERTIBLE CARD ROW - When displayed, greeting cards are typically organized on a display fixture having multiple rows or levels upon which to sit the cards. Each row then has a front wall to hold in the card, yet is short enough to still view a portion of the greeting card above the wall. Because display fixtures are manufactured to have a specified amount of rows or levels at a specified depth, in order to adjust the specifications of a display fixture, other pieces may be used, for example, by attaching to the display fixture a convertible row to add another level or tier between set rows of the display fixture. By providing another row using a convertible row, another set of greeting cards may be displayed between cards displayed on other rows of the original display fixture, increasing the density of the overall display. Further, when an extra row is not desired, such a convertible row may be pushed flush against the back of the display fixture, while still attached, allowing the full depth of the row of the display fixture to be used. To support the convertible row when in use, a divider or support clip is provided. The divider clip may both separate greeting cards within a row of the display fixture and support a convertible row adjacent thereto. The divider clip includes a clipping mechanism to attach the divider clip to the display fixture and an adjustable portion capable of adjusting itself to support an adjacent convertible row.	11-10-2011

20100237325	Highly resolved, low noise, room-temperature coulomb-staircase and blockade up to 2.2V in isolated 50 micron long one dimensional necklace of 10 NM AU particles - Coulomb blockade in metal nanoparticles isolated by a tunneling barrier is considered to be a potential solution to low power, robust, high-speed electronic switching device operating at single-electron transport. However, the switching voltage equal to the threshold voltage to overcome coulomb blockade for these devices is typically in the 10 mV range and/or operating at currents well below 1 nA, which inhibits their application as a practical device. Theoretically, a one dimensional nanoparticle necklace is predicted to be an ideal structure to achieve higher switching voltages. The present invention provides a single-electron device composed of a necklace of about 5000 nanoparticles. The linear necklace is self-assembled by interfacial phenomena along a triple-phase line of fiber, a substrate and electrolyte containing nanoparticles. The I-V measurements on the system show both coulomb blockade and staircase, with high currents and high threshold voltage of 1-3 V. The present invention also provides methods for constructing such a device.	09-23-2010
