| 20090068910 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE HEAT DISSIPATION AND PADDING - A pad according to embodiments of the present invention includes a cover layer, a second flexible layer next to the cover layer, the second flexible layer formed of warp knit textile, a third flexible layer formed of the warp knit textile, and nylon and/or polyester fibers connecting the second flexible layer with the third flexible layer. According to such embodiments, the plurality of fibers maintain a spaced-apart configuration of the second and third flexible layers. The cover layer, the second and third flexible layers, and the plurality of fibers between the second and third outer perimeters are fused together at an outer perimeter. The pad may be used under an electronic device to facilitate cooling of the electronic device, to increase a user's comfort when placed between the electronic device and the user's lap, or to protect, pad, and isolate the electronic device from spills on a table surface. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20090254995 | CLIENT CONTROLLED LOCK FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES - An electronic device can be locked and secured by activating a hardware locking mechanism on the device. The locking mechanism is controlled by a locking policy that is defined and implemented from the client side. If the locking mechanism is activated, then the device operates in a limited mode of operation instead of in a normal mode of operation. The locking mechanism can be deactivated, placing the device into the normal mode of operation, when a specified condition is satisfied. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20080235513 | Three Party Authentication - A trust provider uses established relationships with a client device and a server of an e-commerce merchant or service provider to assure the identity of each to the other. The e-commerce merchant can request an encrypted token from the client. The client may use a trust-provider key to generate the encrypted token. The server then passes the token to the trust provider, who only accepts tokens from known, authenticated entities. The trust provider then verifies the token and returns a response to the server. The response may include a client verification for use by the server and an encrypted server verification that is forwarded by the server to the client. In this fashion, both the server and client may be authenticated without prior knowledge of each other. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080319910 | Metered Pay-As-You-Go Computing Experience - A computer with scalable performance level components and selectable software and service options has a user interface that allows individual performance levels to be selected. The scalable performance level components may include a processor, memory, graphics controller, etc. Software and services may include word processing, email, browsing, database access, etc. To support a pay-per-use business model, each selectable item may have a cost associated with it, allowing a user to pay for the services actually selected and that presumably correspond to the task or tasks being performed. An administrator may use a similar user interface to set performance levels for each computer in a network, allowing performance and cost to be set according to a user's requirements. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20080319925 | Computer Hardware Metering - A computer or other electronic device may be used in one of several selectable modes of operation. Computer resources, such as a processor, memory, or a graphics controller, are individually settable for operation at different levels of performance. A mode of operation or performance level is determined by the combination of individual settings for the various resources. Pay-per-use operation is charged at a rate determined by the mode of operation or performance level. Operation in a gaming mode may be charged at a higher rate than operation in web-browsing mode. A metering agent may be associated with each scalable use resource to securely set the performance level and to securely report on metered operation of the resource. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20080320312 | Hardware-Based Computer Theft Deterrence - A hardware-based security module is used to protect an electronic device, especially a portable electronic device. The security module may determine either via timeout of a watchdog timer or via an explicit message to encrypt selected data on the electronic device. In addition, the electronic device may enter a limited function mode that only allows display of simplistic messages and supports network traffic with a recovery service. The recovery service may be able to use the network traffic to locate the electronic device. The security module may include a secure memory, a cryptographic function, a timer, and support for direct display of data on a monitor. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20090208734 | TEST STRIPS, METHODS, AND SYSTEM OF MANUFACTURING TEST STRIP LOTS HAVING A PREDETERMINED CALIBRATION CHARACTERISTIC - Various embodiments of a technique in which test strip lots can be prepared without requiring a user to input any calibration information before performing a test measurement with a test strip from the test strip lots. In a first aspect, a method of manufacturing a plurality of test strips by adjusting amount of mediators and working electrode area is described. In another aspect, a method of preparing a reagent ink by adjusting the density of the reagent ink to substantially match a target density is described. In a further aspect, a method using a high numerical Shores Hardness squeegee in conjunction with high pressure is provided. In a further aspect, a method of performing an analyte measurement with a test meter, the test meter being configured to not receive a calibration input, and where the test strip manufactured to any one of the methods or techniques described and illustrated herein. | 08-20-2009 |
