  • Patent number: 8001325
    Abstract: A removable data storage device that intelligently operates as one large data storage region or as multiple, smaller data storage regions is disclosed. The removable data storage device can be used in not only modern electronic products (using 32-bit addressing) but also legacy products (using 16-bit addressing). A host device can couple to the removable storage device to access data stored in/to the removable storage device. As an example, the removable data storage device can be a memory card.

  • Patent number: 7485499
    Abstract: Non-volatile data memory cards, flash drives and other memory devices are customized by manufacturing core memory units all the same and then covering them by outer skins which may be made to have different appearances and/or tactile characteristics. The skins are slid over the core memory units by hand from one end. End users of such memory devices may then select how they will look and feel by separately purchasing covers. Sellers of such memory devices may more easily control how their products look and feel.

  • Patent number: 7384382
    Abstract: An interpersonal towing system deploys two or more harnesses each worn by an individual, each harness connected to opposing sides of a highly elastic towline that is protected by a durable fabric cover. The harnesses are configured for detachable connection to the towline via a pair of loops or rings fixed at upper pelvis level at both the front and rear of each harness. The system is suitable for either person assisting the other to traverse difficult terrain with great efficiency yet without damaging the highly elastic towline.

  • Publication number: 20060242771
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an anhydrous composition in the form of a film comprising at least one film-forming polymer and at least one direct dye, the total amount of direct dye being at least 3% by weight relative to the weight of the composition. The present disclosure also relates to a process for preparing such a composition, in which a precursor composition comprising, in a suitable solvent, a mixture comprising at least one direct dye and at least one film-forming polymer is applied to a support; and the solvent is then evaporated off. Further, the present disclosure relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibers, which consists in placing the fibers and the composition in contact, in the presence of an aqueous medium.
