Abstract: The present invention includes apparatus and method for image transfer onto one of a plurality of a pad medium pages while the pages are aggregated together. A preferred embodiment for a printer includes a housing; a print engine, within the housing, for transferring an image to a transfer medium when the transfer medium is located at a print position; and a transfer medium registration system, coupled to the print engine, for positioning a pad including a plurality of transfer media releasably secured to one another, wherein the print registration system locates one of the transfer media at the print position. The method including positioning a pad at a print position of a print transfer engine, the pad including a plurality of transfer media releasably secured to one another; and transferring an image to one of the transfer media positioned at the print position.

Abstract: A weight-controlled, motorized vehicle can be accelerated in either direction, steered, or decelerated without hand controls and without repositioning of a rider situated atop the vehicle. Like a skateboard, the vehicle is normally ridden by a rider standing upon a platform on top of the vehicle with one foot in front of the other. The vehicle is propelled forward when the rider increases weight on the front portion of the platform and backward when weight is increased on the rear portion. The vehicle is steered like a skateboard, by tilting the platform from side-to-side. An improved drive system utilizes a single front drive wheel to power and steer the vehicle. The drive system eliminates need of a flexible power transmission coupling such as a U-joint or constant-velocity joint. It also eliminates need of the differential mechanism normally required for two laterally spaced drive wheels.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a switch for a radiation signal, the switch including a first waveguiding channel having a guiding region and one or more bounding regions coupled to the guiding region, the first waveguiding channel including a first lateral guiding port in a portion of the bounding regions, the lateral guiding port responsive to an attribute of radiation propagating in the channel to selectively pass a portion of the radiation therethrough; and an influencer, coupled to the first waveguiding channel, for controlling the attribute of the radiation.

Abstract: A convertible cargo carrier for offering a traveler the advantages of both pulling and pushing systems for use in conveying objects during their travels. The apparatus includes a cargo platform having a base, and a back coupled to the base; a motive structure coupled to the base for moveably supporting the cargo platform above a surface; a handle, coupled to the back, and a rack member, moveably and extendably coupled to the base, including one or more rack motive elements, the rack member including a first mode for engaging the surface with the one or more rack motive elements and a second mode with the one or more rack motive elements disengaged from the surface, the rack member presenting a platform adjacent the cargo platform when in the first mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method and computer media product for binding and tracking a plurality of network resources. The tracking system, method and medium includes a plurality of resources, each resource having a plurality of associated orthogonal resource material categories; and a resource controller, coupled to the plurality of resources, for grouping a subset of said plurality of resources having matching values for all of the associated orthogonal resource material categories.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus, including a shaft; a scoop, coupled to a distal end of the shaft, for collecting and holding a bolus of a compressible medium, the compressible medium retaining a post-compressed shape when operated from a proximal end of the shaft; and a former, coupled to the scoop and mating with the scoop, for molding and compressing the bolus into a generally spherical ball retained within the scoop. A method for forming a throwable ball, includes scooping a bolus of a compressible medium with a scoop coupled to a distal end of a shaft, the compressible medium retaining a post-compressed shape; and molding compressively the bolus into the scoop using a former coupled to the distal end, wherein the molding step creates the ball retained in the scoop when a user operates a proximal end of the shaft.
