Abstract: A method includes receiving a user command at an input of a product having a display, creating an image encoding information identifying remotely stored information corresponding to the product, and displaying the image on the display in a manner suitable for scanning by an independent device to extract the encoded information and obtain the remotely stored information from a remote server.

Abstract: A container suitable for containing a liquid composition and comprising an insert located in the neck of said container, and wherein when said container is filled with a liquid composition, zero headspace exists below said insert.

Abstract: A method and applicator for applying sheet material to a substrate. The applicator comprises two outwardly facing burnishes, each having an outwardly facing surface. The surfaces are disposed at an included angle of at least 180°, and preferably at least 270°. This geometry allows for positioning sheet material, such as wallpaper, into a corner to begin application at a desired position. Further, this geometry allows the user to conveniently and ergonomically effectively rotate the applicator as the sheet material is being applied. The applicator and sheet material may be provided together in a kit.

Abstract: This invention relates to devices, kits, and methods for eliminating termite colonies. The kits, devices, and methods employ a termiticidal bait matrix containing a) a termiticide selected such that the termiticide causes death to about 50 to about 100% of termites within about 24 to about 84 days after the termites begin to ingest the termiticide or the bait matrix comprising the termiticide, b) a cellulose containing material, and c) water. The termiticidal bait matrix can be used in a bait station installed in the ground. The kits are suitable to be used by consumers in their homes.

Abstract: A covered casing assembly includes a fabric member made of an elastic material, such as a Spandex containing material, that is stretched over a casing and having at least one opening surrounding an accessible feature of the casing. The fabric member may be in the form of a tube having two openings, one at each end of the openings at each. end of the tube. An aperture adjustment feature is provided for sizing and shaping an aperture in the fabric member. Such a feature may be tabs formed by slits extending into the fabric member from around a periphery of the opening and the tabs are bent under the fabric member between the fabric member and the casing. Another more particular embodiment of the invention includes symbols or a design printed on an outside of the tube.The present invention also includes a method for covering the computer monitor by stretching the tube over the casing and adjusting the opening to surround the screen using the features of the claimed assembly.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for decoding and classifying a digital audio input signal and for reconstructing the digital audio input signal, so that when the reconstructed signal is converted to an analog signal by a digital to analog converter ("DAC"), the analog signal can drive a preamplifier, power amplifier or speakers directly. In particular, the present invention proposes a digital filter than can be adapted to have appropriate filtering characteristics based on the signal being filtered. The invention uses a neural network to adjust coefficients of a digital filter, depending on whether the digital audio input signal is more periodic or more aperiodic. If the digital audio input signal is more periodic, the coefficients will configure the digital filter so that the filter has the characteristics of an analog brickwall filter.
