Abstract: A method and system for managing the creation and delivery of an electronic group message is disclosed. The electronic group message can be provided to two or more (i.e., a group) of signers to sign the electronic group message. Once signed, the electronic group message can be provided to one or more recipients. Alternatively, the electronic group message can be provided from a signer to a plurality of recipients, where different recipients receive different messages. One type of electronic group message is an electronic card known as a care card.

Abstract: An apparatus including an operatively coupled sleeve and tray. The sleeve includes a void configured for receiving and housing the tray. The tray includes one or more recesses, wherein each recess is configured for receiving at least a portion of at least one tool. The apparatus includes at least one first locking mechanism for securing the sleeve and the tray to one another. An un-locking mechanism may be operatively coupled to the first locking mechanism for un-securing the sleeve and the tray from one another. A second locking mechanism, operatively coupled to the un-locking mechanism, may be provided for enabling and disabling the un-locking mechanism.

Abstract: Method and system are disclosed for a car seat buckle with a transmitter to a portable alarm unit such as a key ring. In some embodiments, the alarm system may transmit information to a PDA or phone in the form of an e-mail, text, video, phone call or alarm. Alternatively (or in addition), car seat safety alarm may be activated by pressure sensors, temperature sensors or distance sensors in the car seat.

Abstract: A feminine needs container may comprise an elongated member having a hollow compartment, a clothing attachment member coupled to the elongated member and configured to removably attach to a garment, wherein the hollow compartment is configured to receive and store at least one feminine needs product. The elongated member can be removably attachable to the garments via the clothing attachment member such that the feminine needs container may be concealed from public view and carried hands-free without the need for a larger bag/purse to carry them.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for media storage is described. In one embodiment, an apparatus for storing media units has a housing having a lid and a base. The base has a plurality of receptacles. Each of the plurality of receptacles has a plurality of walls. A first writing surface is coupled to the housing.

Abstract: Wafer suitable for semiconductor deposition application can be fabricated to have low bow, warp, total thickness variation, taper, and total indicated reading properties. The wafers can be fabricated by cutting a boule to produce rough-cut wafers, lapping the rough-cut wafers, etching the lapped wafers to remove a defect, deformation zone and relieve residual stress, and chemically mechanically polishing the etched wafers to desired finish properties. Etching can be performed by immersion in a heated etching solution comprising sulfuric acid or a mixture of sulfuric and phosphoric acids. A low pH slurry utilized in chemical mechanical polishing of the spinel wafer can comprise ?-Al2O3 and an organic phosphate.

Abstract: Apparatus 10 provides a combination scissor 18 and lighter 20 for the cutting and sealing of braided synthetic hair 14 made up of a cutting implement having two blades 22, 24 joined by a swivel pin 26 having handles 28, 30 at one distal end. One of the handles 28 has a chamber 36 therein for storing a quantity of a combustible substance therein. The chamber 36 has an input valve 44 for refilling the chamber and an output valve communicating with a conduit 46 extending through the blade 22 to the other distal end. Also located within the handle 28 and extending therefrom is an igniter switch 40 which when depressed opens the output valve on the chamber permitting the combustible substance to escape through the conduit to the distal end 32 of the blade 22. Work in concert with the opening of the valve is an igniter to send a spark to the end of the distal end 32 of the blade 22 whereby the combustible fluid is ignited.

Abstract: A method for making and using automated non-contact measurements of the customer's body or limb structure, for applications is disclosed. Typical applications are manufacture of garments, including men's suits, pants, shirts and ladies dresses, pant-suits etc. The method of measurements can also be used for ergonomically designing products suitable for individuals, like car seats for high-end cars, office furniture, taking the correct dimensions of the individual for whom the design is being made. This type of measurements can be used for making wheel chairs and other similar items for the handicapped. It is also modifiable for making measurements of limbs (hands and legs) and body parts to fit prosthetics for the handicapped.

Abstract: Polynucleotides, polypeptides, kits and methods are provided related to genes expressed in the central nervous system that are regulated by neuroleptics.

Abstract: A compound of the formula (I) wherein the variables X1 to X10, R1 to R7 including R3?, E, v, y, z, A and B are as described, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, enantiomer, racemate, diastereomer or mixtures thereof, useful for the treatment, prevention or amelioration of obesity and Related Diseases is disclosed.
