| 20100297526 | CATALYST LAYERS TO ENHANCE UNIFORMITY OF CURRENT DENSITY IN MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLIES - Components that include catalyst layers used in membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), and methods of making such components are described. The catalyst layers yield more uniform current distributions across the active area of the MEA during operation. The catalyst layers may have a uniform catalyst activity profile of a less active catalyst to achieve more uniform current density over the MEA active area. The catalyst layers may have a variable activity profile, such as an activity profile with a varying slope, to compensate for the inherent nonlinearities of catalyst utilization during operation of an electrochemical fuel cell. Desired variable catalyst activity profiles may be achieved, for example, by varying the catalyst loading across the MEA from inlet to outlet ports or by varying the surface area of the catalyst loading or by varying the surface area of the catalyst support elements. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20110223302 | BEVERAGE BREWING APPARATUS WITH A FILTER CARRIER RECEIVER - A beverage maker is disclosed with a removable filter carrier, a receiver for the removable filter carrier, and a locking mechanism to selectively secure and seal the carrier to the beverage maker by way of lifting the carrier to engage a sealing surface. In use, the filter carrier is linearly inserted into the receiver via a front face of the beverage maker. The receiver may also include the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a lever that is actuated to operate the locking mechanism. Actuation of the lever is translated to lift and clamp the filter carrier against the seal surface. In the ‘sealed’ position, the lever is selectively fixed in place until the user actuates the lever so as to release the filter carrier. In the ‘released’ position, the filter carrier is still supported by the locking mechanism but it may be selectively removed from the receiver. The locking mechanism reduces or eliminates conventional issues with securing a filter carrier to a beverage maker such as properly aligning the filter carrier so that it may be secured to the beverage maker, the filter carrier disengaging from the beverage maker during use, or not being able to remove the filter carrier after a brew cycle. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20080276321 | Secure Transfer Of Product-Activated Software To A New Machine Using A Genuine Server - Systems and methods for secure transfer of product-activated software are disclosed. A user may request a license transfer from an original machine to a new machine. The request cause the machine identity and proof of purchase from the original machine to be sent to an activation service. The activation service may add the proof of purchase to a transfer list and mark as invalid the existing association between the original machine identity and the proof of purchase. The activation service may push the transfer list to a genuine service, which may issue a revocation certificate to the original machine. The proof of purchase may then be applied to the new machine. The activation service may create a new association between the identity of the new machine and the proof of purchase, and deliver a perpetual license certificate to the new machine. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20110183732 | GENERATING CASINO FLOOR MAPS - This describes generating casino floor maps. In some embodiments, the casino monitoring system can analyze captured data of casino floor objects. The system can determine meta-data related to any of the casino floor objects and generate one or more overlay objects for each of the casino floor objects. The system can create a casino floor map by superimposing the overlay objects over the captured data (e.g., superimpose the overlay objects onto a live video stream). The system can present the floor map on any suitable device. The system can detect a selection of the overlay objects on the casino floor map and present metadata for a casino floor object associated with the selected overlay object. The system can also determine details of people on a casino floor via close-range biometric scans and measurements. The system can use the scans and measurements to assist people in the casino. | 07-28-2011 |
