Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110270741UNIVERSAL PAYMENT MODULE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICES - The present disclosure provides universal payment module systems and methods for mobile computing devices that include a universal payment module and an associated adapter device for coupling the universal payment module to any of a plurality of mobile computing devices. The present disclosure utilizes a common payment module which can interface multiple mobile computers with differing form factors via a snap-on sled. Advantageously, the present invention allows the leveraging of one payment module for many mobile computers. The single payment module includes various special payment security mechanisms via mechanical, electrical, and software mechanisms. The present disclosure enables design, standardization, and production of one single common, universal payment module for a plurality of mobile computer devices instead of one specific payment module for each form factor of the plurality of mobile computer devices.11-03-2011

20080287918Steerable Guide Catheters and Methods For Their Use - Methods for easy, atraumatic access to areas of the vasculature that are otherwise difficult to access, using steerable guide catheters constructed with components that are selected to provide optimal navigability, torque transfer, and push ability for a variety of typical percutaneous access routes. The catheter wall thickness in the deflecting segment of the guide catheter is about 1 French (⅓ mm) or less, and includes a slotted deflection tube, and this construction allows a very tight turning radius which in turn enables guide catheter access to regions of the vasculature that are otherwise inaccessible.11-20-2008

20080319420Drug Delivery Catheters That Attach to Tissue and Methods for Their Use - A system and method for delivering a drug to a target site within a patient's body. The system and method include a steerable guide catheter and a drug delivery catheter. The steerable guide catheter has a first extension tube and a second extension tube that are joined together and form a shoulder. The delivery catheter has a distal docking segment and a proximal docking segment. The guide catheter is inserted into the patient's body, then the delivery catheter is inserted into the guide catheter. The distal docking segment engages the first extension tube, the proximal docking segment engages the second extension tube, and the shoulder limits the distance the delivery catheter can be inserted into the guide catheter. Also, once the delivery catheter is inserted it can be rotated to attach the helical tip to the target site. The guide catheter also includes a steering mechanism as well as a friction mechanism which controls the tension on the steering mechanism. The delivery catheter also includes two luer fittings, each having its own lumen.12-25-2008

20110052302PRINTER MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT FOR FEED GUIDE MECHANISMS - A printer having a printer deck and a media support mechanism having a flexible biased mount is provided. In one configuration, the media support mechanism includes an adjustable side guide that is mounted in a biased clamp mechanism. The biased clamp mechanism includes opposing clamps arranged in the same plane that each have two portions with at least one biased toward the other portion. Each opposing clamp includes a top portion and a bottom portion fixed to the printer deck by a shoulder bolt wherein the bottom portion engages a coil spring and is spring biased from the deck toward the top portion of the clamp to engage the mounting portion of the side guide. The coil springs are selected to apply sufficient force to facilitate holding the side guide sufficiently in place during operation and to also allow a reasonable force to adjust the width of the side guide.03-03-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110088417Energy Recovery Ventilator And Dehumidifier - An energy recovery ventilator system includes a belt partially located in each of a first chamber and a second chamber. First and second desiccant units are positioned on the belt. At least some of the first desiccant units are in the first chamber at a first relative humidity, causing air received in the first chamber to achieve a first air humidity. At least some of the second desiccant units are in the second chamber at a second relative humidity, the second relative humidity being caused by the air received in the first chamber. The second relative humidity is modified to the first relative humidity by air passing through the second chamber, the air achieving a second air humidity. A controller causes the belt to move second desiccant units from the second chamber to the first chamber when the first air humidity fails to comply with a specific air humidity.04-21-2011
20110134397AVIAN DETERRENT FOR GLASS - An apparatus for preventing bird collisions with a window including a UV light source, a mask, and a first lens configured to direct UV light from the UV light source through the mask. The mask is at least partially transparent to UV light and includes a pattern that is at least partially opaque to UV light. The UV light passing through the mask contains the pattern. The pattern-containing UV light is projected onto a pane of glass to form a UV image visible to birds corresponding to the pattern on the pane. The image is configured to deter birds from flying into the pane of glass.06-09-2011
