Abstract:
A communication system includes a housing with a base section and a lid pivotally connected thereto. The housing includes insulating layers positioned along a bottom surface of the base section and an inner surface of the lid. The lid includes a handle coupled to a distal end thereof. A power supply source is seated within the base section, and a power regulating circuit is coupled thereto. A controller is coupled to the power regulating circuit, and a transducer is coupled to the controller. A receiver is seated within the housing and includes a aerial connected thereto. A transmitter and a portable media player are positioned on a body portion of the operator. A receiver transmits a control signal to a controller, and the controller parses the control signal and generates a corresponding output signal that is transmitted to the transducer.
Abstract:
A storage case (1) for a compact disc (2) comprises an outer shell (4) within which an inner carrier (5) for storing the compact disc (2) is slideable between an open and a closed position. The compact disc (2) is stored in a disc storing area (20) between a lower support plate (15) and an upper retaining member (19) of the inner carrier (5). Guide plates (25, 26) slideably guide the compact disc (2) into and out of the disc storing area (20). Resilient disc engaging clips (30) on a rear end wall (17) of the inner carrier (5) resiliently urges the compact disc (2) against corresponding abutment members (33) on the front end wall (16) for securing the compact disc (2) against sideward sliding from the disc storing area (20). The combination of the disc engaging clips (30) and the guide plates (25, 26) avoid the need for a central locating spigot for engaging a central opening of the compact disc (2).
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, systems, and apparatuses for performing a secure authentication process to authenticate a payment device used in a transaction between a merchant and a user. The secure authentication process may receive an authentication request message including user data, user computing device data and transaction data to verify that an account is enrolled in the secure authentication process and perform a risk analysis to determine whether the transaction should be authenticated.

A method is disclosed for making a MEMS device wherein anhydrous HF exposed silicon nitride is used as a temporary adhesion layer allowing the transfer of a layer from a Carrier Wafer to a Device Wafer.
Abstract:
A template for measuring and scribing tread and riser lines for the construction of a stairway, or similar purposes, which comprises: a plate member defining first and second straight edges which, in turn, define a square corner. First and second movable stop means are respectively carried by the first and second straight edges. The second edge is defined by a separate portion of the plate member carried by it and movable along a path of travel parallel to the second edge. Fulcrum arm means are pivotally attached to both the separate portion and the rest of the plate member, so that pivoting of the fulcrum arm means moves the separate portion and second stop means to predetermined positions along the path of travel. Accordingly, the distances between the respective stop means along the straight edges from the square corner may be adjusted, and the resulting adjusted template may be used to scribe tread and riser lines of predetermined lengths in a manner which is substantially more convenient than prior art techniques.

Abstract:
A graphical user interface for presenting media content having a series of representative pictorial images corresponding to various selected media publications. The interface further includes a metaphorical graphical representation of a rack shown as supporting the pictorial or thumbnail images of the media publications. Upon selection of a desired pictorial image, the selected pictorial image is brought to the forefront of the graphical rack representation to simulate taking a selected media publication off-the-rack. A series of content links are then presented to a user corresponding to the content of interest contained in the selected media publication. The user may click-on and select a content link allowing the user to browse through contents of the selected media publication. In addition, various methods are also provided for presenting electronically stored media content by visually depicting selected publications resting on a graphical rack representation as if arranged in a retail-store type display. Users click-on a publication bringing it to the forefront of the superimposed graphical rack representation to simulate taking a selected magazine or magazine off-the-rack for browsing.
