| 20100160544 | METHOD OF APPLYING SILANE COATING TO METAL COMPOSITION - Organofunctional silanes are applied to metal surfaces using an oil bath. Metal is immersed in an oil bath containing approximately 2% silane. In a preferred embodiment, the metal is a tire cord. The silane can either be hydrolyzed or unhydrolyzed. The hydrolyzed silanes can be in combination with a water dispersible resin. When the tire cord is coated with silane using the present method, it allows a tire to be formulated with lower sulfur levels and without cobalt. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20100084301 | Releasable Product Fastener for Product Packaging - The present invention is directed toward a product fastening system and, in particular, to a mechanism for securing a toy within product packaging. The packaging may include a toy support platform having a through-hole extending from a first surface to a second surface; a pliable strip configured to pass through the through-hole formed in the toy support platform and a fastener clip that captures the pliable strip to secure the toy to the support platform. The fastener clip may include a base with a plurality of notches formed therein. In operation, the pliable strip is wrapped around the toy object. The ends of the pliable strip are inserted through the through hole and inserted into the notch, becoming secured therein without the need for braiding or twisting the ends of the pliable strip. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20090287613 | AUTOMATED ACTIONS BASED ON RESTRICTIONS - A technique for resolving a violation of an investment account restriction is provided. The restriction is associated with the holding of one or more securities in an investment account. A restriction definition and an associated resolution rule are stored in a data repository. A received order to perform an investment account management action is processed to determine that performance of the action violates the stored restriction definition. The associated resolution rule is then retrieved based upon the determination and then executed. Indications of the determined violation and of the executed resolution rule are stored in the data repository. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20090094877 | ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR MOVING DECOYS - An assembly and method for moving decoys is disclosed. The assembly includes one or more components for horizontally moving decoys floating on water, such that the decoys appear to be swimming. In addition, the device includes one or more component for rotating decoys, such that the decoys appear to be changing direction while swimming. For example, the assembly may include at least two posts connected by one or more slide rails. Each post includes a rotation initiation bar and a series of timing pins to engage a decoy carrier, which slides between the posts along the one or more slide rails. The decoy carrier is connected to pull lines, which are wound about a rotatable reel or spool. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20080318735 | ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER - A mechanism for an elliptical exerciser comprises a crank rotatably connected to a frame so as to have a free end rotatable in a circular path. A restriction member is rotatably connected to the frame. A transmission member is connected to the restriction member, and a central portion thereof is rotatably connected to the crank, whereby the central portion of the transmission member moves along said circular path while the first end of the transmission member is constrained by the restriction member to move along a reciprocating arcuate path, such that a free end of the transmission member moves along an elliptical path. A reciprocating member has a first end rotatably connected to the transmission member, with a second end of the reciprocating member being operatively mounted to the frame, such that a reciprocating movement of the second end of the reciprocating member along the frame causes the first end of the reciprocating member to move along said elliptical path by the combined constraints of the crank, the restriction member and the transmission member. A foot pedal is connected to the reciprocating member, whereby the foot pedal moves along another elliptical path. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20080318736 | ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER - An arm mechanism for an elliptical exerciser comprises a linkage having a first end pivotally mounted to a frame of the elliptical exerciser, and a second end receiving a reciprocating movement from a foot pedal of the elliptical exerciser. An arm member has a handling portion to be handled by a user of the elliptical exerciser, and a coupling portion to be coupled to the first end of the linkage. A coupling mechanism releasably couples the linkage to the arm member such that the linkage and the arm member rotate jointly about the frame upon the linkage receiving the reciprocating movement from the foot pedal in a coupled position of the coupling mechanism, and for decoupling the arm member from the linkage in a decoupled position of the coupling mechanism to prevent rotation of the arm member while the linkage rotates. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20080303917 | Digital processing cell - A method and apparatus of digital image processing that provides pixel based image correction. The method and apparatus provide a digital processing cell that includes first and second processing modules. Each processing module includes a gate array. The gate array includes a digital video processing module and a switch portion configured to couple the digital video processing module to at least one of primary and secondary video buses and to couple the digital video processing module to at least one of primary and secondary neighborhood buses. An image processing system includes a plurality of such digital processing cells and an image sensor that outputs image data. The digital processing cells process the output image data. | 12-11-2008 |
