| 20110013362 | Test Slot Cooling System for a Storage Device Testing System - A test slot cooling system for a storage device testing system includes a storage device transporter having first and second portions. The first portion of the storage device transporter includes an air director and the second portion of the storage device transporter is configured to receive a storage device. The test slot cooling system includes a test slot housing defining an air entrance and a transporter opening for receiving the storage device transporter. The air entrance is in pneumatic communication with the air director of the received storage device transporter. The test slot cooling system also includes an air mover in pneumatic communication with the air entrance of the test slot housing for delivering air to the air director. The air director directs air substantially simultaneously over at least top and bottom surfaces of the storage device received in the storage device transporter. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20090211118 | Traction Cleat for Field Sports - A cleat for use with an athletic shoe includes a hub, a stud of substantially non-flexible material and extending downwardly and away from a lower surface of the hub, a cleat connector extending upwardly and from an upper surface of the hub and configured to engage a shoe-mounted mating connector disposed on a sole of the shoe, the upper surface opposing the lower surface of the hub, and at least one dynamic traction element extending downwardly from the lower surface of the hub and adapted to flex upwardly when the cleat is connected to a shoe and the at least one dynamic traction element is forced downwardly to contact a ground surface due to a weight load applied to a shoe. The distal end of the stud extends further from the lower surface of the hub than the distal end of each unflexed dynamic traction element such that, when the shoe to which the cleat is connected is forced downward toward the ground surface, the stud contacts and/or begins to penetrate the ground surface to provide initial traction before each dynamic traction element makes contact with the ground surface. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090241379 | Traction Cleat System for an Athletic Shoe - A traction cleat system for an athletic shoe is disclosed. The system includes an elongated receptacle that receives a cleat strip. The elongated receptacle may be a channel or notch formed into the sole of the shoe. In one embodiment, the cleat strip includes an elongated, flexible hub, a cleat connector, and traction elements depending from the hub. The cleat strip is removable from the receptacle, permitting easy replacement of the cleat assembly when the traction elements become worn. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090293317 | Adjustable Traction System and Method for Footwear - Tractional characteristics of athletic shoe cleats are adjustable by selectively blocking and unblocking the amount of flexure of dynamic traction elements on the cleat. Blocking is achieved as a function of rotational starting locations during cleat attachment to an outsole receptacle by placing material or recesses in the outsole at different final rotational positions of the tractional elements. Alternatively, adjustability is obtained by attaching and angularly positioning a separate member, such as a ring, on the cleat with segments of the member positioned or not to block traction element flexure. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100095858 | Golf Ball Marking Stencil and Method of Use - A golf ball marking stencil includes two caps, resiliently biased toward one another, configured as spherical segments defining a cavity therebetween to securely retain a golf ball. Stencil slots for marking putt alignment path, putter face squareness and swing path lines are defined in the caps. Actuator tabs project from the caps and may be pinched together in opposition to a bias spring to force the caps open to expose the cavity. The spring force of the bias spring prevents movement of a retained golf ball relative to the caps. The cavity periphery is contoured to permit a marker pen to be engaged therein when the cavity does not contain a golf ball. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100186262 | Replaceable Traction Cleat for Footwear - Adjustable traction is provided in a traction cleat by selectively restricting or not the amount of flexure permitted for a dynamic traction element on the cleat. Restricting flexure is alternatively achieved by an adjustably positionable ring or by rotating the cleat to align the dynamic element with different shoe sole topographical features. A dual locking post is provided to reduce the surface area required on the cleat hub for locking structures. The cleat is formed in a two shot molding process that permits elongations of the dynamic traction elements without sacrificing the integrity of the cleat structure. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100257751 | Method and Apparatus for Interconnecting Traction Cleats and Receptacles - A thinner shoe mounted receptacle results from a thin cleat attachment flange received in a shallow receptacle cavity. An angled interface between the cleat and receptacle provide a friction fit engagement to minimize inadvertent disengagement of the cleat and receptacle. Rotational locking occurring inside or outside the cavity further prevents inadvertent cleat rotation. Multiple positionally synchronized angular stops positively define the final angular orientation of the cleat in the receptacle. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20090132414 | System And Method For Integrated Electronic Invoice Presentment And Payment - A system and method is provided for an electronic invoice presentment and payment management service. The system and method automatically link electronic purchase orders, invoices, receipt-of-goods documents, and other transaction-related information to a payment card transaction, such as a purchasing card transaction. The system may be used in conjunction with existing infrastructure and the systems currently employed by a buyer organization and a supplier organization. The system provides for the delivery of Level III data (invoice detail) with every payment card transaction and automatically inputs this Level III detailed transaction data into the buyer's accounts payable system and enterprise resource planning system. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090276321 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND SETTLEMENT - The present invention provides a system and method to enable a third party service provider of EIPP services to initiate authorization and settlement of payment card payments with invoice line item data (Level III data), on behalf of either Buyer/Payers or Supplier/Payees to credit card acquirers and/or transaction processors. Payment initiation is based on submission of either a pre-approved invoice or order confirmation validated against a purchase order, or an invoice approved by the Buyer/Payer organization and scheduled for payment. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20100146084 | DISTRIBUTED CONTROL FOR A CONTINUOUS PLAY BACKGROUND MUSIC SYSTEM - A continuous play broadcast system includes a distributed communications system and a playback control device that is connected to the distributed communications system. The playback control device includes an output device, memory that stores digital media files and a continuous play program, and a controller that outputs the digital media files to the output device according to the continuous play program. The media files include at least one of audio, video and announcements. A computer is connected to the distributed communications system. A web server is connected to the distributed communications system and to a master library of the digital media files. The computer accesses the web server via the distributed communications system to alter the continuous play program for the playback control device. The computer includes a browser module for accessing the web server and the web server transmits executable files to the computer for creating the continuous play program. The executable files are at least one of Active-X® components, Java Applets® and Java Script®. The continuous play broadcast system can also deliver video files and announcement files using the continuous play program. The computer and the playback control device can be integrated. | 06-10-2010 |
