20110082789VENDOR PAYMENT CONSOLIDATION SYSTEM - Several related entities can owe payments to a single vendor. For example, several related companies can owe payments to developers who sell software using several storefronts operated by the related companies. To limit the number of payments made to the developer, a third-party payment processing entity can receive individual payments from each of storefronts for a developer, can aggregate he payments and convert their respective currencies if necessary, and provide a single payment on behalf of all of the storefronts to the developer. Because the payment processing entity is a third party (e.g., a bank) and not related to the storefronts, the tax or other advantages procured from having several storefronts can be preserved while reducing the costs of paying the developer (e.g., fewer transaction fees).04-07-2011

20100045433Fingerprint detecting wireless device - A wireless device, such as a remote control unit, may include an internal fingerprint identification unit. The fingerprint identification unit may be arranged to capture the user's fingerprint when the user's finger is positioned over a button that is substantially radiation transmissive. Radiation directed at the user's finger through the button may be captured for image analysis and ultimately for fingerprint identification. Thus, the device may be used to identify users who wish to access a processor-based system such as a processor-based television receiver.02-25-2010

20090050658MULTI-FUNCTIONAL CARRIER FOR CARRYING ITEMS - Embodiments of the present invention relate to multi-functional carriers for carrying items and methods for constructing carriers. According to some embodiments the carrier includes a holder and a strap molded of foam material. The strap and holder may be coupled together in various configurations to create loop through which one or more objects may be inserted or removed from within a cavity in the holder.02-26-2009
20090140017CARRYING CASE WITH BACKBONE - A carrying case includes a backbone panel forming a back and base for the carrying case. A rear-top panel is connected to the backbone panel forming at least a portion of the sides and top of the carrying case. A left side and a right side panel are connected to the backbone panel forming a portion of the left side and right side of the carrying case, respectively. A mid-top panel is connected to the left side and right side panels, forming a portion of the sides and top of the carrying case. A mid-front panel is connected to the mid-top panel, the left side and right side panels, and the backbone panel, the mid-front panel forming the front of the carrying case. A first zipper is connected to the rear-top panel and the mid-top panel. The backbone panel, rear-top panel, left side and right side panels, mid-top panel, mid-front panel, and zipper form a first pocket in the carrying case.06-04-2009

20120055677ROTATING FLOW CONTROL DIVERTER WITH RISER PIPE ADAPTER - The present invention is directed a rotating flow control diverter having a riser adapter. The riser adapter allows the rotating flow control diverter to be positioned in a riser string below the drilling platform. The rotating flow control diverter has two flanged connections that connect to the flanged connections of riser pipe such that the rotating flow control diverter becomes an integral part of the riser string. The rotating flow control device has means to circulate lubricating fluid in the bearing assembly without the need for external feed lines.03-08-2012
