| 20110015010 | Agility training ball - In an inflatable ball, a substance is conveyed within its inner chamber which sticks to the inner surface subtending a small portion of the entirety of that inner surface. A rubber based catalyst is a particularly suitable substance because, when cured, it remains soft and pliable, enhancing its ability to remain adhered to the inner surface of an inflatable ball and to conform to the shape of that surface whether or not the ball is inflated. A heavy substance such as lead shot or stainless steel balls can be embedded into the liquid material prior to curing to increase the weight. Any substance embedded into the liquid material is introduced through the valve and port of the inflatable ball. With the center of gravity of the ball permanently altered, the ball has a tendency to rest in a position with the weighted material therewithin facing the ground surface on which the ball sits, and the ball has a tendency to stay in that position or to return to that position when an attempt is made to roll it in any direction away from that position. If a user succeeds in rolling the ball to a position where the portion of the inner surface engaging the weighted material rises to the top of the ball as it is rolled, when the ball is let go, it will move in an erratic way. | 01-20-2011 |

The motor is preferably powered by one or more batteries. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110165972 | Blocking sled with pivotable auxiliary pad - A blocking sled includes a first main blocking pad reciprocable on a frame between extended and retracted positions. When a lineman hits the main blocking pad, it is moved to the position of retraction and when the lineman releases the pad, it extends back to its original un-retracted position. In association with each main blocking pad, an auxiliary pad is provided that in one position closely overlies and extends forward of the main blocking pad in its extended position. The auxiliary blocking pad is pivotably mounted to the frame and is latched in the position closely overlying and extending forward of the main blocking pad. An actuator facilitates release of a latching mechanism for the auxiliary pad and moves along with a support rod for the main blocking pad. When the rod is reciprocated, eventually it engages the latch of the auxiliary pad and releases that latch causing a biasing means to pivot the auxiliary pad up and forward with respect to its position when latched. In the latched position of the auxiliary pad, it is so positioned that it forces a blocker to lower their center of gravity and bend down and forward to enable them to engage the main blocking pad while passing under the auxiliary pad. Once the main blocking pad has been reciprocated to its retracted position, the auxiliary pad pivots upward and forward of the main blocking pad so the blocker can lift up and complete the block in a manner simulating play in an actual football game. | 07-07-2011 |

A semantic view is generated for the visual representation, and a separate semantic view is generated for the textual representation of the file. The visual representation and the textual representation follow a same semantic structure for comparison. To perform synchronization after changes are made to one of the representations, a synchronization process is performed using the semantic views to update the other representation. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100162049 | Low Privilege Debugging Pipeline - A low privilege debug pipeline publisher advertises a debugging pipeline. Instead of having a client to which a debugger on the server has been attached interrogate the server for debugging information, the client requests information from the server. Control is returned to the server which can refuse to provide the requested information to the client. A debuggee server executes client code being debugged in an isolated context so that pausing the code at a breakpoint does not block the server. The server can apply transforms to compiled code to make the code cooperate with debugging services so that a privileged component to inspect the debuggee code is not needed. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100287562 | LOW-PRIVILEGE DEBUG CHANNEL - A browser-based debugger application is configured to debug a second browser based application.

| 20090001661 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING BATCHES OF DOCUMENTS - A method of processing documents by receiving at least a batch of documents and a separator card in an input receptacle of a document processing device. The separator card includes a conductive material disposed on one side, and a barcode indicative of the source of the batch of documents. The documents and separator card are transported via a transport mechanism past an evaluation unit and a field-effect sensor, respectively. The document processing device evaluates each document, determines whether the document meets or fails predetermined criteria, and detects the presence of the conductive material when a separator card is transported past the sensor. The source identification information from each separator card is entered into a memory of the document processing device after all the documents from the corresponding batch of documents have met the predetermined criteria. Feeder operation is paused between each batch long enough to verify that the previous batch closed successfully. Pausing feeder operation to address document anomalies before subsequent batches are processed promotes batch integrity and reduces operator confusion. | 01-01-2009 |
