| 20080270286 | PRODUCT EXCHANGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a global network-based trading exchange. In embodiments, the trading exchange trades both products, product concepts and ownership shares associated with the products and product concepts both as ownership shares and as bundled offerings. For example, the products offered are downloadable electronic files, such as music downloads or movie downloads. A user can buy ownership shares or the bundled offering and then own the rights to dividends in the future sales of the product. Further, the user may trade the shares on the trading exchange. In embodiments, the determination of the price for the shares and/or bundled offering is dynamic and fluctuates with market demand. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080270318 | PRODUCT STOCK EXCHANGE - Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a product trading exchange. In embodiments, the trading exchange trades shares of products and/or product concepts. The shares can be offered first in an initial public offering. After the shares are sold in the IPO, shares are traded in an open trading exchange. In embodiments, the determination of the price for the shares is dynamic and fluctuates with market demand. Revenue earned by the product can also be provided to the share owners according to the percentage of ownership. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20090101547 | CONCENTRATION OF PARTICLES IN A FLUID WITHIN AN ACOUSTIC STANDING WAVE FIELD - A device for performing the manipulation of particles suspended in a fluid is disclosed. The device comprises a duct for the flow of a fluid in which particles are suspended, an acoustic transducer, and a reflector for establishing an acoustic standing wave field across the width of the duct. It has been unexpectedly found that optimum performance of the device occurs when the spacing between the transducer and a reflector is 300 microns or less. The device seeks to overcome prior engineering difficulties that prevented one from observing the individual particle bands or separating the individual particle bands from the duct. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20100145272 | Wax Micro Actuator - An actuator comprises a cavity containing a working medium that reversibly expands as it undergoes a phase change from a solid to a liquid state, a diaphragm disposed adjacent the cavity such that expansion and contraction of the expandable working medium causes the diaphragm to deflect, and a semiconductor element disposed in the cavity, wherein the semiconductor element is adapted to heat the working medium to cause it to undergo the phase change into the liquid state. The actuator may be used in a pump for an infusion system. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20100137784 | Micro-Valve - A one-way valve comprises a seat and a membrane having an inner portion that is stretched over the seat, wherein, in use, the inner membrane portion is selectively deflected from the seat such that a fluid path is created from one side of the membrane to the other so as to open the valve, and wherein an outer peripheral portion of the membrane is stiffer than the inner portion such that the membrane deflection is substantially restricted to only the inner portion. The one-way valve may be used in a pump for an infusion system. | 06-03-2010 |
