20100242243	Probrammable Rollfromer for Combining an Architectural Sheet with a Solar Panel and Method - A programmable machine and method for adhering a flexible photovoltaic film panel onto metal supplied from a roll for forming a combination solar and roof panel is provided. The voltaic film panels and metal to which is adhered are supplied on rolls which are fed from reels. The rollformer can form male and female edges on the metal which are necessary for a metal roof. The angle at which the exit cutter can cut is calculated by the programmable computer. A measuring device for measuring the roofing and transferring the data to the programmable machine or the placement of the solar film panels and the cutting of the panels is also provided,	09-30-2010

20090294524	High Security Transaction Card System and Method - A secure transaction card system and method utilizes a transaction card and an authentication device. The transaction card includes a first electrical contact, a power supply device, a card memory that stores a card identifier and a magnetic strip provided with a thin film magnetic write head in electrical communication with the power supply device. The authentication device includes a housing with an access slot for the card, a power source, a second electrical contact structure, an authentication processor in electrical communication with the second electrical contact structure and the power source, and a programmable memory storing account information corresponding to the transaction card. When the transaction card is mated with the authentication device, the processor causes account information to be written onto the magnetic strip so that the card can be used. After an interval of time, electrical charge is drained so that the card is inoperable.	12-03-2009

20090111963	LYOTROPIC LIQUID CRYSTALS AND VESICLES - Silicone based liquid crystal and vesicles are prepared by first reacting (A) an ≡Si—H containing polysiloxane, (B) a mono-alkenyl polyether, in the presence of a platinum catalyst until an ≡Si—H containing polysiloxane with polyether groups (C) is formed. The ≡Si—H containing polysiloxane with polyether groups (C) is then reacted with (D) an unsaturated hydrocarbon such as an α,ω-dienes, and (E) water, in the presence of a platinum catalyst until the silicone based liquid crystal or vesicle is formed. The silicone based liquid crystal or vesicle can also be heated until a hard liquid crystal gel or vesicle paste are formed.	04-30-2009
