  • Publication number: 20050091543
    Abstract: A system and method for bonding a pseudonymous identity to an organization to provide assurance that a user claiming to be a member or representative of the organization may anonymously post messages or documents to electronic forum. The system and method includes distribution of tokens from an authentication authority to the organization which can then be provided by the organization to its members. Members register with the authentication authority and designate a pseudonym to associate with the organization and also provide the membership token as proof of membership in the organization.

  • Publication number: 20050035450
    Abstract: A ball grid array package that can be readily tested before or after mounting to a printed circuit board. The ball grid array includes a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface. Several conductive pads are located on the top surface. Several passive circuit elements are located on the top surface between the conductive pads. An insulative coating is placed on top of the passive circuit elements and the substrate. The insulative coating has openings over the conductive pads. The openings are adapted to be accessible by an electrical probe. Conductive vias extend through the substrate between the top and bottom surfaces. The vias electrically connect with the conductive pad on the top surface. Several conductive balls are located on the bottom surface. Each conductive ball is electrically connected to one of the vias.

  • Publication number: 20020062368
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting and analyzing electronic discussion messages to categorize the message communications and the identify trends and patterns in pre-determined markets. The system comprises an electronic data discussion system wherein electronic messages are collected and analyzed according to characteristics and data inherent in the messages. The system further comprises a data store for storing the message information and results of any analyses performed. Objective data is collected by the system for use in analyzing the electronic discussion data against real-world events to facilitate trend analysis and event forecasting based on the volume, nature and content of messages posted to electronic discussion forums.

  • Patent number: 6119760
    Abstract: A vehicle drape for retaining heated air and cooled air inside a front seat area of a vehicle. The drape is adapted for releasable attachment to a pair of vehicle ceiling hanger hooks disposed on opposite sides of a ceiling of the vehicle and behind the front seats of the vehicle. Also, the drape is adaptable for adjusting to different sizes and shapes of vehicle interiors and designed for redirecting air flow back into a front seat area. The drape includes a transparent thin sheet of plastic vinyl. The sides of the thin sheet include gripping scalloped edges for gripping the sides, ceiling and floor of the vehicle. A horizontal nylon suspension strap is attached to a length of an upper portion of the thin sheet. The horizontal suspension strap includes an adjustable first end and an adjustable second end. The first end and the second end include a moveable hook fastener strap arm and a loop fastener strap arm.
