Abstract: An tuned induction system for use on a motorcycle having a V-twin engine. The tuned induction system having separate and individual first and second manifold bodies. Each of the separate intake manifold bodies having a flange that couples the individual manifold body to a cylinder head of the V-twin engine. The flange having a continuous radius that maximizes airflow velocity to enhance engine performance.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering and securing computer game content via the Internet provides a customized interface from which an end-user may purchase episodic game content wherein game content is secured to the user's computer. A computer game interface lists game episodes that are installed on the end-user's computer, as well as episodes that are available that have not been purchased by the end-user. The episodes that are installed may be started from the interface and episodes that are not installed may be purchased through the interface. Upon purchase of the game, a security mechanism communicates information that uniquely identifies the end-user's computer to a server that then customizes the software before transmitting it to the end-user's computer. The customization provides protection for game software publishers from unauthorized copying and use of the game content.

Abstract: An improved system for use in imposing directional stability on a rocket-propelled vehicle. The system includes a pivotally supported engine-mounting platform, a gimbal ring mounted on the platform and adapted to pivotally support a rocket engine, an hydraulic actuator connected to the platform for imparting thereto selected pivotal motion, an accelerometer and a signal comparator circuit for providing error intelligence indicative of aberration in vehicle acceleration, and an actuator control circuit connected with the actuator and responsive to error intelligence for imparting pivotal motion to the platform, whereby a relocation of the engine's thrust vector is achieved for imparting directional stability to the vehicle.
