20100187297 | UMPIRE COUNTER WITH NULL INDICATORS - A handheld, thumb or finger operated, umpire's counter having three dials to indicate the count kept by the umpire for each of “strikes”, “balls”, and “outs”. Each dial has associated with it a null indicator having a tactile output perceptible to the touch. This tactile output enables the umpire to determine when the respective dial is set to “0”, or to set and/or reset a respective dial to “0” without looking at the counter. It also permits the umpire to confirm that each dial is indeed set to “0” before he begins counting. | 07-29-2010 |

20130090941 | METHOD OF PROVIDING COMPLICATION INSURANCE AND DISCOUNTS ON MEDICAL SPECIALTY TREATMENTS - The present invention is a method for providing consumers with complication insurance and discounts on medical specialty treatments, products, and services through a membership program. More specifically, the method provides consumers with insurance for complications that might be experienced through specialty medical treatments and discounts on the actual specialty medical treatments. The invention requires the participation of the customer (patient and/or intended parents), the specialty medical provider, an insurance agency/provider, and a third party administrator. | 04-11-2013 |
20130090993 | METHOD OF PROVIDING DISCOUNTED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - The present invention is a method for managing and providing discounts for fertility pharmaceutical medications and services. Specifically, the invention is method for providing discounts for medications and services by using a discount card that: (1) provides cash-paying patients with access to pharmaceutical and medical discounts; (2) provides pharmaceutical companies an opportunity to brand and market themselves; and (3) provides participating pharmacies a source of new and dedicated customers. The cost of the discount card, which is typically purchased by the customer directly, is reimbursed at equal cost to the customer through a gift card, which must be redeemed in a participating pharmacy or retail store. The card may be provided to the customer by doctors, fertility centers, pharmacies, self insured groups, insurers and retail stores, rather than being purchased directly. | 04-11-2013 |

20130033797 | ANIMAL DETERRENT DEVICE FOR ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM - An animal deterrent device (ADD) includes a non-yielding base containing an array of animal deterring elements extending outwardly away therefrom. The base of the ADD is configured for deployment on at least one external surface of a transducer associated with a electrical charging system (ECS) used to electrically charge an energy storage device (ESD) on a vehicle. An array of animal deterring elements are respectively spaced apart a sufficient distance one-to-another and have respective heights so as to fill a space so that animals, such as a dog or a cat, are discouraged from residing on, or adjacent to at least one external surface of the transducer when the transducer that includes the ADD is disposed within a ground clearance of the vehicle. A method of using the ADD is also presented that includes a step of the ADD being formed in a mold in a single molding operation. | 02-07-2013 |
20130037339 | PARKING ASSIST FOR A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH FOR WIRELESS VEHICLE CHARGING - A vehicle parking assist system of a wireless battery charger for positioning a capture resonator or receiving plate attached to a vehicle over a source resonator or charging pad residing on a parking surface under the vehicle. The system includes a target positioned relative to the source resonator at a location that is viewable by an operator of the vehicle while the vehicle is being parked. The vehicle is equipped with a plurality of light sources attached to the vehicle, and the light sources are oriented so that when the vehicle is properly positioned, light beams from the light sources impinge on the target at one or more predetermined locations, or converge at some predetermined location on the target. | 02-14-2013 |
20130038285 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCLUDING APPARATUS THAT CONTAINS A DOMIC-SHAPED HOUSING - A transducer includes a housing having a domic shape. The transducer is associated with a vehicular electrical charging system (ECS) used to electrically charge an energy storage device (ESD) disposed on a vehicle. The transducer is adapted for attachment to a ground surface with the domic-shaped housing extending outwardly away therefrom. The domic-shaped housing of the transducer, when disposed beneath an undercarriage of a vehicle, fills a space intermediate the transducer and the undercarriage such that animals, such as a dog or a cat, are discouraged from overlyingly residing thereon. External surface segments of the domic-shaped housing depend or slope away from a peak point of the domic-shaped housing so that foreign objects, like a soda can or a tool that engage the domic-shaped housing, may passively slidingly move off of the housing to ensure optimal performance of the transducer. | 02-14-2013 |

20130181797 | COIL APPARATUS HAVING COIL ARRANGEMENT THAT INCLUDES A FERRITE LAYER AND A THERMALLY-CONDUCTIVE SILICONE LAYER - A coil apparatus includes a first housing and a second housing that surroundingly encloses the first housing. The first housing has a coil arrangement disposed therein. The coil arrangement includes a ferrite layer and a thermally-conductive silicone layer that overlies the ferrite layer. A wire conductor surrounds the first housing. A structure is received in a opening defined in the first housing to be in thermal communication with the thermally-conductive silicone layer. Another thermally-conductive silicone layer overlies the first housing and the structure so that the structure is also in thermal communication therewith. A metal layer further overlies the thermally-conductive silicone layer that overlies the first housing. The second housing includes a non-dielectric cover and a dielectric cavity portion that receives the coil arrangement. The coil apparatus is associated with an electrical charging system (ECS) that electrically charges an energy storage device (ESD) disposed on a motorized vehicle. | 07-18-2013 |
20140327317 | WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM TRANSDUCERS HAVING INTERCHANGEABLE SOURCE RESONATOR AND CAPTURE RESONATOR - A wireless power transfer system that transmits electrical power from an electrical power supply to an electrical load using a source transducer and a capture transducer. The wireless power transfer system may be part of a wireless charging system for an electric vehicle. The source resonator coil in the source transducer and the capture resonator coil in the capture transducer are substantially identical and are interchangeable. The structures that hold the resonators in the transducers and the plates that provide a ground plane for the resonators in the source transducer and the capture transducer are also substantially identical and are interchangeable. Each resonator is formed of a carrier-winder, or bobbin, that has two substantially identical and interchangeable halves enclosing a magnetic core and is wound with a wire coil. | 11-06-2014 |
