| 20080235781 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRUSTED COMMUNICATION - A trusted communication system and methods of ensuring trusted communications are provided. A portable memory device is configured to resemble a character, and a client is configurable to operate specifically with that portable memory device. The client may allow a user to access network resources related to other clients belonging to other users having portable memory devices. Each portable memory device may have stored therein a unique token. A token from one portable memory device may be associated with a token of another portable memory device, e.g., by operating the first portable memory device with a client configured to operate with the second portable memory device. When two tokens are associated, the client configured to operate with a portable memory device having one of those tokens may access network resources related to another of those tokens. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20100022367 | ABDOMINAL EXERCISER - An abdominal exercise device is disclosed that includes a frame and a knee support configured to support both of a user's knees when the user is in a kneeled position. In one embodiment, the knee support is pivotally mounted to the frame. In another embodiment, the knee support swings with respect to the frame. A hand grip is attached to the frame. A user will kneel on the pivotally mounted knee support and grip the hand grip with their hands. By holding the hand grip, the user holds their upper body in a relatively stationary position with respect to the frame. Then, by contracting their abdominal muscles, the user can pivot the knee support upon which their knees rest up toward the can support, thereby providing their abdominal muscles with a work out. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090270764 | METHODS OF DETERMINING CONCENTRATION OF KETONE BODIES - A region of skin, other than the fingertips, is stimulated. After stimulation, an opening is created in the skin (e.g., by lancing the skin) to cause a flow of body fluid from the region. At least a portion of this body fluid is transported to a testing device where the concentration of analyte (e.g., glucose) in the body fluid is then determined. It is found that the stimulation of the skin provides results that are generally closer to the results of measurements from the fingertips, the traditional site for obtaining body fluid for analyte testing. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20110013405 | RECESSED LIGHT FIXTURE HAVING INTEGRALLY FORMED MOUNTING TRACKS - A recessed light fixture is provided with vertically extending mounting tracks integrally formed in opposed sidewalls of a light fixture housing. The mounting tracks have a continuous front face. The recessed light fixture also has a lamp support bar that extends between the mounting tracks and has at least one spring clip proximal each end thereof. Each at least one spring clip frictionally engages the front face of a corresponding of the mounting tracks, thereby allowing the lamp support bar to be temporarily affixed at a desired vertical orientation along the mounting tracks. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20100118137 | GRADIENT IMAGE PROCESSING - A method of assessing the quality of metal parts, for example through detection of defects in a metal part induced by processing the metal part, comprises acquiring a thermal image of the metal part after processing the metal part, determining a difference image by comparing the thermal image to a reference image, the difference image being related to temperature differences between temperature data represented by the thermal image and by the reference image, and determining a gradient image using the difference image, the gradient image representing temperature difference gradients within the difference image. An example apparatus comprises a camera, such as a thermal camera, an image processor, and an output device such as a display. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20100133763 | HIGH-CLEARANCE VEHICLE SUSPENSION WITH SPACER ARRANGEMENT MOUNTABLE BETWEEN SPINDLE AND WHEEL HUB MOUNTING BRACKET FOR ADJUSTING WORKING CLEARANCE - The working clearance height of a high-clearance vehicle is normally established by four main suspension spindles that are respectively received for reciprocating within upright journals provided at the opposite ends of front and rear axle assemblies of the vehicle main frame, with the bottom end each of the main spindles being received in a bore at the top of an associated wheel motor housing that serves also as a wheel hub mounting bracket. In order to increase the working clearance height of the vehicle, an optional elongate spacer assembly is mounted between the bottom of each elongate main suspension spindle and the associated wheel motor housing. Each main suspension spindle is inclined slightly outwardly relative to a vertical plane extending in the direction of travel of the vehicle and, in order for the spacing between tires at opposite sides of the vehicle to remain the same, with or without the usage of the spacer assemblies, each spacer assembly includes a coupler spindle extending parallel to, and offset inwardly from, a pivot axis of the associated main suspension spindle by a distance calculated to result in the desired tire spacing, this coupler spindle being received in the bore at the top of the associated wheel motor housing. | 06-03-2010 |
