| 20080250845 | Mail screening device - A mail screening device for hazardous materials is disclosed. The mail screening device comprises a sample collection unit that uses air jets or air knives to dislodge residues of hazardous materials from a mail, and a detection unit that detects the hazardous materials in the exhaust air flow. Comparing to traditional mail screening systems that use belts and rollers to physically pinch a mail for sample collection, the device of the present invention is less complex and easier to operate, thereby reducing installation, maintenance and replacement costs. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20090126514 | Devices for collection and preparation of biological agents - A sample collection system and method for airborne biological agents is disclosed. The sample collection system comprises a sample collection module that collects particles in an air flow and transfer the collected particles into a sampling fluid, and a sample preparation module that is responsible for accepting the sampling fluid from the sample collection module, continuously aggregating or concentrating the collected particles in the sampling fluid during the sampling process and recycling a particle-lean sampling fluid back to the collection module. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20110208603 | CUSTOMER ONBOARDING - Financial institutions are continuously seeking effective ways “to onboard” customers. As used herein, “to onboard” or “onboarding” refers to a financial institution building its relationship with a customer just after that customer signs up for, or otherwise consumes, a financial product or service offered by the financial institution. Embodiments of the present invention provide apparatuses, methods and computer program products for onboarding customers. For example, according to an embodiment, the present invention provides an onboarding hub that onboards customers by helping customers set up and use an online banking website to manage their account(s). | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110208629 | CUSTOMER ACCOUNT NOTIFICATION MESSAGES - Embodiments of the invention relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for providing notification messages relating to observations made about a customer's use of an account that is held by a bank. For example, one embodiment of the invention provides a bank computer system having a memory communicably coupled to a communication device and a processor. In one embodiment, the memory stores information about the customer's use of account services and features, including online banking. The processor is configured to monitor the information and make observations about the customer's use of the account services and features, and use the communication device to communicate a notification message containing information relating to how the customer could better utilize the account services and features. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20100326889 | METHOD OF RESTORING CATALYTIC ACTIVITY TO A SPENT HYDROTREATING CATALYST, THE RESULTING RESTORED CATALYST, AND A METHOD OF HYDROPROCESSING - A method of restoring catalytic activity to a spent hydroprocessing catalyst that has a first carbon concentration. The concentration of carbon on the spent hydroprocessing catalyst is reduced to provide a carbon-reduced catalyst having a second carbon concentration that is less than the first carbon concentration. The carbon-reduced catalyst is exposed to a solution, comprising a chelating agent and a solvent, for an aging time period sufficient to provide for a restored catalytic activity thereby resulting in an aged catalyst having incorporated therein the chelating agent and the solvent. The aged catalyst is exposed to conditions, including a drying temperature, so as to remove from the aged catalyst a portion of the solvent without removing a significant portion of the chelating agent from the aged catalyst thereby resulting in a dried aged catalyst. The dried aged catalyst is then sulfur treated to thereby provide a restored catalyst. The restored catalyst and those catalysts made by the treatment method can be used in a hydroprocessing process comprising contacting the restored catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock under hydroprocessing conditions. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20110231474 | Audio Book and e-Book Synchronization - An electronic device receives a stop position tag that indicates a stop position within first electronic content which is a first sensory type. The electronic device identifies a start position within second electronic content using the stop position tag. The second electronic content is a second sensory type that is different than the first sensory type. In turn, the electronic device executes the second electronic content at the identified start position. In one embodiment, the first sensory type is an auditory sensory type and the second sensory type is an image sensory type. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20110214928 | Deactivating a Power Source - A battery is disclosed that includes two contact areas, an electrolyte, and a conductivity mechanism to increase electron conductivity internal to the battery between the two contact areas that, in turn, deactivates the battery. In one embodiment, the conductivity mechanism is triggered external to the battery. In another embodiment, the conductivity mechanism utilizes deactivator material to increase electron conductivity through the electrolyte to deactivate the battery. In yet another embodiment, the conductivity mechanism creates multiple shorts between the two contact areas to deactivate the battery. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110217582 | Internally Neutralizing a Power Source - A battery is disclosed that includes two contact areas, an electrolyte, and an electronically conductive material that, at a neutralization trip point temperature, increases electronic conductivity internal to the battery between the first contact area and the second contact area. In one embodiment, the electronically conductive material is void from being activated external to the battery. In another embodiment, the battery includes a semiconductor material that includes custom doping to provide the increased electron conductivity at the neutralization trip point temperature. In yet another embodiment, the battery includes an insulator for separating the electronically conductive material until a temperature internal to the battery reaches the neutralization trip point temperature, at which point permits the electronically conductive material to increase the electronic conductivity between the first contact area and the second contact area. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20080313817 | MATTRESS WITH FEATURES FOR IMPROVED SUPPORT AND COMFORT - A mattress includes features that improve support and comfort. The mattress may include one or more of a head section positioned to support a user's head, a torso section coupled with the head section via a first multi-plane bond, and a foot section coupled with the torso section via a second multi-plane bond. The foot section may be retractable, and the torso section may include a cross-linked foam part and a seat ledge. The seat ledge is positioned to define a catch point for the user upon articulation of the mattress. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20100146706 | Stretcher Support Surface - A support surface suitable for use with a stretcher includes multiple foam pads of independent zonal pressure support such that a transfer of force by pressure on one foam pad to an adjacent foam pad is limited. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110113553 | Bed Bug Entrance/Exit Resistant Cover - A bed bug resistant cover for a mattress includes a plurality of panels of fabric material connected by seams that are RF welded. The connected plurality of panels include a first opening for receiving the mattress and a second opening serving as a vent. A zipper assembly is cooperable with the panels of fabric material and RF welded to the opening to close the panels of fabric material over the mattress. A filter is RF welded to an inside surface of the panels of fabric material and covers the vent. | 05-19-2011 |
