| 20090072483 | COLLECTABLE TRADING CARD GAME - A collectable card game of strategy and skill that includes a plurality of collectable cards, each of which preferably comprise a character-specific collectable card. Each collectable card corresponds to a character and contains character specific information regarding the character, including attributes and capabilities of the character such as offensive and defensive characteristics and assigned values. Each collectable card is adaptable from a generally flat configuration to a folded configuration generally in the form of a “fortune teller” novelty piece that functions during play as a functional game piece. Once each player has configured his collectable card into the game piece configuration, the players engage in a battle that consists of a series of rounds. During each round, the players engage in a series of alternating offensive strikes and mitigating defensive plays, the combined net score of which is then deducted from a predetermined “life force” value assigned with each character card. The game concludes after a predetermined number of rounds or when the life force values of all but one surviving character/player are reduced to zero. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20110084857 | MULTI-TOUCH TOUCH DEVICE WITH MULTIPLE DRIVE FREQUENCIES AND MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION - A touch-sensitive device includes a touch panel, drive unit, and measurement unit. A touch applied to a given node of the panel changes a capacitive coupling between a given drive and sense electrode of the touch panel. The drive unit delivers first and second drive signals, having different first and second frequencies, to first and second drive electrodes respectively at the same or overlapping times. The measurement unit receives a first response signal from a sense electrode, and analyzes the signal using maximum likelihood estimation to determine the coupling capacitance between the first drive electrode and the sense electrode, and between the second drive electrode and the sense electrode. More drive electrodes, including in some cases all the drive electrodes, can be driven with unique drive frequencies, and more sense electrodes, including in some cases all the sense electrodes, can be sensed by the measurement unit. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20090238978 | METHOD OF CREATING A STITCHED IMAGE RESEMBLING EMBROIDERY - A method for applying an image to a pre-stitched surface to resemble embroidery creates a pre-stitched surface by covering a piece of fabric with stitching of white, neutral-colored, or transparent thread. The pre-stitched surface uses patterns of stitching that are random or abstract in alignment and shape. A digital image is applied onto the pre-stitched surface through dye sublimation or printing, and resembles traditional embroidery. The image may be computer manipulated to appear as if it is traditional stitched embroidery. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090294045 | APPLIQUE PRINTING PROCESS AND MACHINE - A method and apparatus for creating a design that is melded onto an underlying layer of material that is then cut out and applied onto a final surface to produce an appliqué. The design is first created using a printer to print a design onto a top layer of “puff” or other suitable cloth material. The printed design area is cut out of the top layer material and then the bottom layer, to create a two layer appliqué that resembles a traditional stitched appliqué. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20090020629 | HOSE NOZZLE APPARATUS AND METHOD - A device and method are provided for regulating two types of flow from a nozzle. The first flow is a deluge stream and the second flow is a fog spray. The deluge stream is controlled by the nozzle operator using a first flow control valve, such as a ball valve. The fog spray is controlled by the nozzle operator using a second flow control valve. The nozzle permits the nozzle operator to manually control the flow of the nozzle, thereby permitting quick regulation and adjustment of flow types and amounts to accommodate then existing fluid pressure and supply conditions to address fluid application needs. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20090058744 | STORAGE CABINET WITH IMPROVED RFID ANTENNA SYSTEM - A system for reading RFID tags of articles within a cabinet includes a repositionable shelf. The repositionable shelf includes an antenna assembly having three antenna pairs. Each antenna pair has a loop antenna and a figure eight antenna. The antenna pairs are on a PC board. The PC board includes an RJ45 connector which provides both power to the antenna assembly as well as a communication interface for the antenna assembly. The RJ45 connector could be used to provide the RF signals from the antenna to a reader. The system could also include a repositionable divider for placement perpendicular to the repositionable shelf. The repositionable divider also includes a loop antenna and a figure eight antenna. | 03-05-2009 |
