20140161375 | BAG CLOSURE DEVICE, MACHINE AND METHOD - A closure device which a consumer or bag manufacturer may affix to most any bag comprises an elongated first strip of flexible material and a thin bendable wire and second strip of material of substantially the same length as the first strip and longitudinally aligned with and affixed to the first strip. The first strip includes an opposite adhesive surface which is covered by a protective strip of release paper at the time of manufacture. A plurality of individual closure devices may be manufactured in sheet form with perforations extending between each adjacent closure device on the sheet. When needed, the consumer tears a closure device from the sheet. The consumer peels away the release paper revealing the adhesive surface and affixes the closure device to the outer surface of a bag. In one preferred method, the consumer affixes the closure device in a traversing manner with the closure device extending between the opposite closed and open ends of the bag. In another preferred method, at least two closure devices are affixed to opposite sides of the bag whereby the consumer may alternately open and close the bag by twisting and untwisting the closure devices together and apart, respectively. | 06-12-2014 |

20150212992 | COMBINED SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS TAG DEPLOYMENT - A tag management system can implement a combined synchronous and asynchronous tag-loading scheme. In an embodiment of this scheme, a synchronous tag may be included at the top of or near the top of a content page. This synchronous tag can hide one or more page elements that are to be modified by a subsequent asynchronous personalization tag. Subsequently, the asynchronous personalization tag can update the page element and then cause the page element to be displayed. As a result, flicker between the old and new page elements can be reduced or avoided. | 07-30-2015 |

20100315755 | Apparatus And Methods For Forming Electrodes For Electronic Weaponry And Deployment Units - An electronic weapon has an installed deployment unit from which an electrode, tethered by a filament, is launched, according to various aspects of the present invention. The electronic weapon provides a stimulus signal through a target to inhibit locomotion by the target. The electrode includes a body and a spear. The body has an interior. The spear has a tang. During assembly of the electrode, the filament is positioned in the interior. The tang is positioned in the interior over the filament. The tang is then mechanically coupled to the body, securing the filament in the interior. After assembly, applying a force along the filament results in friction between the filament and the interior. The interior of the body may include an undulation. | 12-16-2010 |
20100315756 | Apparatus And Methods For Coupling A Filament To An Electrode For Electronic Weaponry And Deployment Units - An electronic weapon has an installed deployment unit from which an electrode, tethered by a filament, is launched. According to various aspects of the present invention, the deployment unit includes a housing, two filaments stored in the housing prior to launching, and two electrodes, each coupled to the end of one of the filaments. A propellant in the housing launches the electrodes responsive to the launch device. In operation, an end portion of each filament experiences a tensile stress during launching. The tensile stress follows a nonlinear path along a surface of an undulation of an interior of the respective electrode. | 12-16-2010 |
20140233146 | Apparatus And Methods For A Wire-Tethered Electrode For An Electronic Weapon - An electronic weapon has an installed deployment unit from which an electrode is launched. The electrode is tethered to the deployment unit by a wire or filament. According to various aspects of the present invention, a wire-tethered electrode for launching from a weapon, for impacting clothing of a human target, and for conducting a stimulus signal through the target to inhibit locomotion by the target includes an insulated wire, a spear, and a body. The wire mechanically couples the electrode to the weapon. The spear lodges in the clothing. The body has an interior. The interior confines the wire against the spear so that the stimulus signal ionizes air in a gap between an uninsulated end of the wire and the spear, and ionizes air between the barb and tissue of the target to facilitate conducting the stimulus signal through the spear and through the target. | 08-21-2014 |
