Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transferring funds are disclosed. In particular methods and systems for transferring funds comprising: receiving an image of a logo from a mobile device wherein the image of a logo has been captured by an image capture device integrated into the mobile device; receiving data from the mobile device, the data associated with the image of a logo and identifying a sending party's account; comparing the image of a logo with a plurality of images of logos stored in a database; finding a matching image from the plurality of images of logos; determining a receiving party's account associated with the matching image; and, causing funds to be transferred from the sending party's account to the receiving party's account.

Abstract: An LED lamp having electronic components that power a plurality of LEDs arranged on a circuit board contained inside an elongated housing. The LED lamp may include connectors on both ends to allow serial connection of LED lamps through direct connection or use of an extension cord.

Abstract: An expandable fixture for various linear lamp lengths that includes telescoping segments and a lamp connector connected to one or more of the telescoping segments. The telescoping segments defines a longitudinal axis and includes at least two segments slidably engaged with each other. In this way, the length of the expandable fixture may be increased and decreased along the longitudinal axis of the expandable fixture. The expandable fixture may include a mechanism to lock the expandable fixture at the adjusted length. In a typical version, the expandable fixture may have a length of about forty-eight (48) inches when fully extended and about twenty-four (24) inches when fully contracted, with the electrical ballast being housed within the fixture.

Abstract: A method and system of distributing charitable contributions where a sponsoring entity donates money to a charitable organization of a user's choosing via a nonprofit administrative entity. In return, the sponsoring entity receives contact information of the user, such as user's email, text, IM, for advertisement purposes. Sponsoring entities and users are matched based on the sponsoring entity's profile and user's profile, which may include the contents of the user's electronic communications.

Abstract: An LED lighting tube having a first segment, a second segment, and a rotating connector between the segments. Each segment has an elongated cylindrical housing, an aperture in the sidewall of the cylindrical housing, a reflector centered within the aperture, a circuit board within the cylindrical housing, and a rotatable electrical coupling connected to an outer end of the cylindrical housing. The circuit board has an LED that aligns with the aperture. The rotatable electrical coupling has a limiter insert that provides a rotative stop, a collet that at least partially surrounds the limiter insert and is rotatable about the limiter insert, and an interface connector secured to the limiter insert and in electrical communication with the circuit board. The rotatable electrical coupling permits the LED lighting tube to connect to a light fixture while also permitting the cylindrical housing to rotate relative to the light fixture.
