| 20090194591 | System, method and apparatus for placing and updating information in a personal digital electronic device for communication to a bar code scanner - A personal digital electronic device is provided with two enhancements, namely (a) an IR receiver and associated circuitry and software/firmware for mimicking a laser scanner operation, so that information existing in physical form with an associated bar code may be entered into the personal digital electronic device at the point of transaction; and (b) a radio receiver and associated circuitry and software/firmware to receive and process RDS feeds, so that offers, coupons and promotions embedded in the RDS feeds may be detected and used to place or update information on the personal digital electronic device. The personal digital electronic device is enabled for communication with a bar code scanner preferably using the “active light” communication technology. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20080294104 | Microcatheter Including Swellable Tip - A catheter for providing an embolic material at a desired location comprises a flexible tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular member including at least one ring of expansible material affixed to its outer surface less than 25 mm from the distal end. The ring preferably comprises a material that expands in volume when in contact with a liquid, such as a hydrogel or hydrogel foam, or in response to an application of heat. The ring is fully expanded after between 10 and 30 minutes of contact with a liquid. The catheter may also include further including a plurality of radioopaque markers spaced along the tubular member at predetermined intervals. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20110056289 | Floatless Rain Gauge - A rain gauge device is provided that uses a plurality of conductivity sensors to determine liquid levels. Certain rain gauge devices include a plurality of conductivity sensors fixed along the length of a support member, wherein each conductivity sensor comprises at least two selectable electrodes for sensing the presence of a liquid by measuring a conductivity of the liquid between these electrodes when a liquid is present between the sensing electrodes, and an electronic command unit adapted to apply a voltage between a common electrode and a selected electrode. Level measuring devices are also provided that comprise a collector, a measuring tube, a plurality of conductivity sensors and an electronic command unit for applying a voltage across the conductivity sensors and for converting the conductivity measured into a digital output for each increment. Methods of use and operation are also provided. | 03-10-2011 |
