Abstract: According to computerized methods of distributing software and data, software components may be distributed electronically for execution in controlled environments. Such a controlled environment may, for example, restrict the components' ability to communicate through a network to one or more specified hosts. When a component requests data, such as a stream of financial data, the request may specify a source of the data, and the request may be granted or denied by the distributor based on whether the specified source is an authorized source of the data and/or whether the requested data is available from an authorized source.

Abstract: An antiviral face mask and a face mask insert that both manage airflow by separating an exhaled breath from an inhaled breath to avoid inhalation of potentially contaminated air and excess carbon dioxide and to filter an exhaled breath to diminish the amount of potentially contaminated carbon dioxide from an exhaled breath into the environment.

Abstract: An adjustable athletic bra that provides support laterally (side to side), vertically (up and down), and in and out to provide stability in multiple directions.

Abstract: A non-rigid head guard assembly that provides protection against head collisions. The head guard is circular with a narrower section at the forehead and a wider section at the rear to protect the back of the head. The head guard, at the sections in contact with the temple area of the head and the back of the head, is reinforced with an additional layer of foam. The exterior of the assembly is made of breathable and moisture wicking fabric. The interior protective element consists of either a single layer of viscoelastic polyurethane foam or a dual layer viscoelastic polyurethane foam separated by a thin layer of semi-dry lubricant, which is a low friction material, for enhanced wear and corrosion protection.

Abstract: A shirt or jersey for sports such as soccer incorporates a slow rebound foam pad to aid in controlling a ball that strikes the player.

Abstract: Sports gloves include a multilayer palm section that includes an outer layer and one or more inner layers, at least one of which is a layer of slow rebound, open cell polyurethane to provide a glove with better impact control and protection while also providing a user with better feel for a ball striking the palm.
