20090222925SECURE BROWSER-BASED APPLICATIONS - Techniques are provided for execution of restricted operations by computer program code in web browsers, where the code is permitted to invoke restricted operations if implicit or explicit consent is received. Such techniques may include generating a risk rating for a computer program code component, where the component includes at least one component operation for executing at least one restricted system operation; and prompting a user for permission to execute the restricted system operation, wherein the prompt includes the risk rating and a description of the component operation. The program code may include script code associated with a web page that invokes a web browser plugin, which in turn invokes the restricted system operation. The code may invoke the restricted system operation in response to receiving an input from a user via the web browser, where the input is for causing an action associated with performing the operation, the action implicitly granting consent to perform the operation.09-03-2009

20110053480SCRAPER AND SHARPENING TOOL COMBINATION AND SHARPENING METHOD - A scraper in combination with a sharpener provides consistent sharpening of the scraper blade. The scraper has a scraper blade, blade holder, and bearing surface. The sharpener has a sharpening element and a guide generally parallel to the sharpening element. The bearing surface of the scraper fits the guide of the sharpener and the scraper blade contacts the sharpening element. The scraper can be drawn along the guide to draw the blade along the sharpening element. The bearing surface and guide keep the blade in consistent and correct relation to the sharpening element to provide proper sharpening of the scraper blade. Adaptors may be used to sharpen additional types of blades or tools on the sharpener and different types of sharpening elements may be used in the sharpener.03-03-2011
20110201261Scraper Accommodating Different Sizes of Blades - A scraper has a blade holder that tapers from a wider width to a narrower width. A blade with a scraping edge is mounted on the blade holder with the scraping edge near to the narrower width of the blade holder. The blade is interchangeably mounted and can be replaced with other blades. The blades can have different widths for their scraping edges. The tapered shape of the blade holder allows blades with different widths of scraping edges to be used in the scraper without the blade holder interfering with the use of the scraper. Embodiments of the scraper have handles which may have features such as a hand rest near the blade holder to provide additional pressure and a ring at the end of the handle to provide additional pull. At least one embodiment of the scraper has a bearing surface to fit on a guide on a sharpener.08-18-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100179562STIMULATION LEADS, DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE - Devices, systems and methods are provided for accessing and treating anatomies associated with a variety of conditions while minimizing possible complications and side effects. This is achieved by directly neuromodulating a target anatomy associated with the condition while minimizing or excluding undesired neuromodulation of other anatomies. Typically, this involves stimulating portions of neural tissue of the central nervous system, wherein the central nervous system includes the spinal cord and the pairs of nerves along the spinal cord which are known as spinal nerves. In particular, some embodiments of the present invention are used to selectively stimulate portions of the spinal nerves, particularly one or more dorsal root ganglions (DRGs), to treat chronic pain while causing minimal deleterious side effects such as undesired motor responses.07-15-2010
20110276056METHODS, SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR REDUCING MIGRATION - Devices, systems and methods for reducing migration of leads, catheters and similar devices are provided. In particular, devices, systems and methods are provided for creating a slack anchor which assists in maintaining the lead or catheter in a desired position. In some embodiments, the slack anchor is created within the epidural space. When targeting nerve anatomy within the spinal column or in the vicinity of the epidural space, anchoring within the epidural space allows the associated lead or catheter to be anchored as close to the target therapy site as desired or possible. By anchoring close to the target therapy site, the risk of movement or migration is significantly reduced or eliminated.11-10-2011

20100112930Roof assembly for an air handler - An air handler (or air handler section) includes an enclosure containing various internal HVAC components and a bi-directional alignment system that during factor assembly of the enclosure helps align the enclosure's entire roof to the internal components. To help align the roof in a widthwise direction, a tapered lead-in edge in the upper corners of a block-off panel for an evaporator, filter rack, damper, fan and/or other HVAC component engages a roof rail that runs along the length of the roof. The upper corners of the block-offs also include a landing edge that engages the underside of the roof rail to help support the weight of the roof. Cross rails attached to the underside of the roof and extending along the width of the enclosure include an inclined lead-in flange that engages the upper edge of the various internal HVAC components, thereby helping align the roof in a lengthwise direction.05-06-2010

20090272016Method and system of labeling user controls of a multi-function computer-controlled device - A method and system of labeling user controls of a multi-function computer-controlled device comprises a data storage medium with attached labeling and a user-accessible port by which the medium can be attached to the device, such that the data stored on the medium affects the actions performed by one or more of the user controls of the device, such that the attached labeling is physically visible to the user while operating the user controls of the device from a reasonable operating position, and such that this visible labeling comprises textual and/or graphical elements that describe the function of one or more of said user controls of said device, as enabled or determined partially or completely by the data. It is preferable, though not necessary to all embodiments, that the labeling be as close as is practical to the user controls, and that the layout of the labeling correspond as closely as is practical to the layout of the user controls.11-05-2009

20120098333Subscriber Line Interface Circuit with Intra-Operational State Selectable Supply - A method of generating a plurality of supply voltages for a plurality of subscriber line channels includes generating a first target VBAT value for a first associated linefeed driver from a first VBAT control. A second target VBAT value for a second associated linefeed driver is generated from a second VBAT control. A selected target VBAT value is generated based upon the first and second target VBAT values. A magnitude of the selected target VBAT value is not less than any maximum of a magnitude of the first and second target VBAT values. A switching regulator is controlled to provide a first generated VBAT corresponding to the selected target VBAT value, wherein the switching regulator provides a second generated VBAT having a pre-determined proportional relationship (p) to the first generated VBAT.04-26-2012
