| 20110122543 | Valve Metal Anode Pellets For Capacitors Formed Using Forced Convection Of Liquid Electrolyte During Anodization - A method and apparatus for anodizing a porous valve metal pellet in a flowing liquid electrolyte is described. The apparatus comprises an insulative container comprised of a lower region, a central region including a cavity for holding the pellet, an upper region, and a continuous passageway extending through the lower, central, and upper regions. Lower and upper screens serving as lower and upper electrodes are disposed in the passageway in the lower and upper container regions, respectively. During anodizing, the electrolyte flows through the lower container region including the lower screen, the porous pellet and then the upper container region including the upper screen. The lower and upper screens are at an opposite electrical polarity as the pellet so that a dielectric oxide is formed on the exposed valve metal including interior portions of the pellet that are exposed to the flowing electrolyte. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20110248134 | Reinforced Supporting Connectors for Tubular Grab Railings - A reinforced connector assembly for a tubular grab railing has an upper tubing support that is aligned with the grab railing during use and a lower base portion bolted directly to the tubing support fastened to a wall or floor. The tubing support has an opening that divides it into upper and lower halves with a reinforcing plate hidden between them to form a three layer sandwich structure with at least one boss confined during use within the tubing. The connector assembly is a composite formed from an outer plastic resinous connector element and the hidden reinforcing plate which can be formed from steel. The reinforcing plate which provides reinforcement for the plastic components can include exposed ears on each side that frictionally engage and distend the tubing to prevent it from rotating during use. An adjustable connector assembly has two pivotally related portions to permit angular adjustment on site. A corner elbow, an end connector and an end extension are also described. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20110137745 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE AT A GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION - Systems and methods for identifying third party products and services available to geographic location. Generally, the system identifies a subject address or location at which services are desired. Next, the system parses, standardizes, and verifies the subject address as a valid physical location. Then, the system identifies relevant market(s) corresponding to the subject address, and determines product and service offerings in the relevant market(s). Further, the system determines capabilities required to effectuate the determined service offerings at the location, and identifies capabilities available at the geographic location. Subsequently, the system compares the required capabilities of the services to the available capabilities at the location to generate serviceability information corresponding to services actually available at the location. Finally, the system provides the serviceability information to a user for selection of particular products and services, or stores the information for further processing within the system. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110137776 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING AND/OR RECOMMENDING THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO A USER - Systems and methods are described for an electronic services management system that enables a user to manage all or many of his or her third party products and services from one electronic platform. Specifically, the system includes operative connections to service provider systems so as to track customer usage of various third party products and services, and thus provide the user with a consolidated view of the user's products and services and enable the user to track usage and expense of the services, compare the expense to predetermined budget amounts, compare the usage to other users, etc. Additionally, the services management system recommends personalized product or service offerings to users based on the users' preferences and specific service usage. Further, the system provides alerts to the users when certain usage or expenditure thresholds are reached, when payments become due, or when new offers, deals, or service promotions become available. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110137818 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECOMMENDING THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - Systems and methods for recommending third party products and services. The method includes the steps of ranking the third party products and services based on one or more factors, and generating a user profile based on one or more user-related factors. Next, the method determined appropriate third party products and services based on the user's geographical location and filters the third party products and services based on the user profile and the user's geographical location. These filtered results are dynamically ranked based on the user profile, and personalization of the third party products and services. Finally, the method provides the ranked results pertinent to the end user's preferences, and the geographical location. | 06-09-2011 |
