20130209945 | CANDLE WITH EMBEDDED ITEM AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING AND SELLING SAME - A candle with an embedded item and methods for manufacturing same are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for manufacturing a candle having an item embedded within includes providing a first set of items of a first value and a second set of items of a second value different from the first value, combining the two sets to create a third set, and distributing the items of the third set among a set of candles, one item per candle, where the presence, nature, or value of the item within the candle is obscured. In one embodiment, the method further includes selling the candles for a first price, wherein, at the time of purchase, the presence of the embedded item, the nature of the embedded item, the value of the embedded item, or the value of the embedded item relative to the first price is not known to the purchaser. | 08-15-2013 |

20140096867 | Balloon Inflation, Illumination and Holding Device - A device for inflating, illuminating and holding a balloon like a torch, or attaching the illuminated balloon in an upright fashion to an ornamental base, without the use of helium. The device includes illumination means, a power, supply and related circuitry, a pathway for inflating and sealing the balloon, and an elongate handle. The device further includes a switch with a trigger mechanism positioned outside of the region where the balloon is attached, so that the illumination means or lighting mode can be easily controlled by the user, including a child. The device is also configured to be safely used without a balloon, as a decorative light or a flashlight, or as a holding device for a balloon without any illumination means. | 04-10-2014 |
20140218904 | CLIP ON SAFETY LIGHT DEVICE - A small, lightweight, illuminable, wearable, clip-on safety light device that resembles a decorative seasonal or ornamental attachment to apparel or personal items which incorporates a series of LED's or other means of producing bright light capable of being operated through multiple modes of operation, such as sequential, random, continuous, and the like. The light is capable of being seen a distance away from the wearer, and will draw the attention of the human eye, thereby making the wearer more visible at night or in low light conditions. | 08-07-2014 |
20140295728 | Balloon Inflation, Illumination and Holding Device - A device for inflating, illuminating and holding a balloon like a torch, without the use of helium. The device includes illumination means, a power supply and related circuitry, a pathway for inflating and sealing the balloon, an elongate handle, and a cap. The device further includes a switch with a trigger mechanism positioned so that the illumination means or lighting mode can be activated by the user. The device is also configured to meet child safety regulations and requirements. | 10-02-2014 |
20140321152 | LIGHT UP CENTERPIECE - A light up centerpiece including a plurality of optical fibers, a plurality of non-light up strands and other decorative elements, a molded opening, a plurality of light emitting diodes, a base portion, and a power source. The optical fibers each have first and second ends. The light emitting diodes illuminate the optical fibers, so that the light emitted at the second end of the optical fibers creates an aesthetically decorative light effect. The fibers, strands and decorative elements are proportionately arranged and held in place through an opening in a molded base so that the light is distributed throughout the centerpiece. | 10-30-2014 |

20140325013 | Techniques for Command Validation for Access to a Storage Device by a Remote Client - Examples are disclosed for command validation for access to a storage device maintained at a server. In some examples, a network input/output device coupled to the server may receive the command from a client remote to the server. For these examples, elements or modules of the network input/output device may be capable of validating the command and reporting the status of the received command to the client. Other examples are described and claimed. | 10-30-2014 |

20130198312 | Techniques for Remote Client Access to a Storage Medium Coupled with a Server - Examples are disclosed for client access to a storage medium coupled with a server. A network input/output device for the server may receive a remote direct memory access (RDMA) command including a steering tag (S-Tag) from a client remote to the server. For these examples, the network input/output device may forward the RDMA command to a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) controller and access provided to a storage medium based on an allocation scheme that assigned the S-Tag to the storage medium. In some other examples, an NVMe controller may generate a memory mapping of one or more storage devices controlled by the NVMe controller to addresses for a base address register (BAR) on a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus. PCIe memory access commands received by the NVMe controller may be translated based on the memory mapping to provide access to the storage device. Other examples are described and claimed. | 08-01-2013 |
20150012607 | Techniques to Replicate Data between Storage Servers - Examples are disclosed for replicating data between storage servers. In some examples, a network input/output (I/O) device coupled to either a client device or to a storage server may exchange remote direct memory access (RDMA) commands or RDMA completion commands associated with replicating data received from the client device. The data may be replicated to a plurality of storage servers interconnect to each other and/or the client device via respective network communication links. Other examples are described and claimed. | 01-08-2015 |
20150012735 | Techniques to Initialize from a Remotely Accessible Storage Device - Examples are disclosed for remotely initializing or booting a client or host device. In some examples, a network (NW) input/output (I/O) device coupled to a host device may connect to a remote server via a NW communication link. For these examples, modules of the network I/O device may establish a control path to a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) controller maintained at the remote server using a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol. Properties of a storage device controlled by the NVMe controller as well has an RDMA service tag (STag) to indicate allocated portions of the storage device may be obtained. A system basic I/O system (BIOS) may be capable of using the RDMA STag to access the storage device and load an operating system (OS) kernel and one or more device drivers to remotely boot the host device. Other examples are described and claimed. | 01-08-2015 |

20150343378 | CATALYTICALLY ENHANCED COMPOSITIONS FOR EFFICIENT REMOVAL OF CONTAMINANTS IN FLUE GAS STREAMS - A sorbent composition that is useful for injection into a flue gas stream of a coal burning furnace to efficiently remove mercury from the flue gas stream. The sorbent composition may include a sorbent with an associated ancillary catalyst component that is a catalytic metal, a precursor to a catalytic metal, a catalytic metal compound or a precursor to a catalytic metal compound. Alternatively, a catalytic metal or metal compound, or their precursors, may be admixed with the coal feedstock prior to or during combustion in the furnace, or may be independently injected into a flue gas stream. A catalytic promoter may also be used to enhance the performance of the catalytic metal or metal compound. | 12-03-2015 |
