  • Patent number: 9433264
    Abstract: A versatile jewelry includes a semi-rigid or rigid main body defining groove about the outer periphery. The groove has a varying depth along its length and defines a cross section including a flat bottom portion and a pair of flat upstanding sidewalls. The main body has a semi-elliptical profile and defines first and second opposing end portions with a clearance therebetween. At least one hair accessory having an elasticity is adapted to be disposed in the groove and span the periphery of the main body and the clearance. The main body has a rigidity arranged to distribute pressure from the at least one hair accessory away from the wrist and the elasticity of the at least one hair accessory is arranged to force the at least one hair accessory against the bottom portion of the groove and the sidewalls restrict lateral movement of it within the groove.

  • Patent number: 9430727
    Abstract: A data storage device serving as a portable card, magnetically encodeable card, or a magnetic credit card is shown. The data storage device includes a substrate having at least one surface. A high density, magnetically coercive material layer is disposed on or is deposited on the substrate for storing magnetic signals. The magnetically coercive material may have an axis of magnetization that is oriented in a predetermined direction relative to the at least one surface of the substrate. A layer of non-magnetically material is disposed on the substrate for defining an exchange break layer. A relatively hard, abradeable protective coating is formed on the magnetic material layer and has a thickness between a maximum thickness that materially attenuates magnetic signals passing between the magnetic material layer and a transducer and a minimum thickness enabling the protective coating to be abraded by usage in an ambient natural atmosphere operating environment.
