| 20080272107 | Table Heater Heat Distribution Cone - In one embodiment the instant invention combines a table and a heater in one product having a deflector cone under the table top. This embodiment resembles a small table with a table top surface and combines the usable table top surface with a heating element, which may use propane as a fuel source. There may be one or more deflector cones stacked on each other, and they may be made from heat-reflecting material. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080272108 | Bistro Table Heater Combination with 360 Degree Heat Source - In one embodiment the instant invention combines a table and a heater in one device. The heater allows heat to escape laterally beneath the table to warm the lower extremities of a user. The heater may use propane as a fuel source, and the fuel source may be self-contained and mountable adjacent to the heater. The device may be mounted on wheels so as to be portable. The table may have several deflectors below it and above the heater so that the table does not get hot. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080272109 | Bistro Table Heater with Heat Guard Rail - In one embodiment the instant invention combines a table and a heater in one device. The heater contains a heating element, which may use propane as a fuel source. The fuel source of the invention may be self-contained so that the heater is portable. The table may have several deflectors below and above the heater it so that the table does not get hot. The invention may also have a heat guard rail attached to the table and extending away from the table to guard against users inadvertently touching the heating area of the invention. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080285258 | Gas Light-Post Heater - In one embodiment the instant invention combines a post having a light at its top and a heater in its middle. In one embodiment, the post has a cabinet below the heater. The cabinet may contain the fuel source of the invention so that the heater may be easily portable. In one embodiment, a wind shield protects the heater so that the heat source will not be extinguished. In one embodiment, the light and the heater have separate controls and are separately operable. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20080243743 | APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY DETERMINING PRIMARY ADAPTER IN A HETEROGENEOUS N-WAY ADAPTER CONFIGURATION - A method and apparatus are provided for dynamically determining a primary adapter in a heterogeneous N-way adapter configuration. Each of the adapters generates information about itself and exchanges the information with all other adapters. First a decision-making adapter is identified. Then the decision-making adapter compares the adapter-generated information of all the adapters and makes a decision determining the primary adapter. The decision-making adapter communicates the decision to all other adapters. The determined primary adapter assumes a role as the primary adapter and the other adapters assume a role as a secondary adapter. | 10-02-2008 |
