  • Publication number: 20250034333
    Abstract: An example of a three-dimensional (3D) printing kit includes a build material composition and a fusing agent to be applied to at least a portion of the build material composition during 3D printing.

  • Patent number: 8576730
    Abstract: Content is distributed from a source to a sink only if the sink is within a predetermined geographic locality. In one embodiment, a signature request is sent to the sink. The sink obtains an actual signature compares it to the requested signature, and if the requested signature and the actual signature resemble each other sufficiently closely, then the content is sent to the sink The signature is compiled from parameters obtained from appropriate parameter detectors. The parameter detectors generate, detect and monitor various signals required for determining the locality of the sink.

  • Publication number: 20100070308
    Abstract: A system and method that includes the use of a bank checking account that can be connected to insurance coverage. In particular, a banking consumer can purchase insurance coverage for unexpected events that may affect the historical deposits and withdrawals relating to the checking accounts. Additionally, insurance coverage other than that of the checking account itself can be included, such as life insurance, so long as the account remains active. Accordingly, the present invention can integrate the negative insurance sell into a positive banking experience.

  • Patent number: 7347762
    Abstract: A box-type turkey call has not only a pin that pivotally interconnects the call's base to the call's paddle-like actuator but also a fastener that allows endless disconnection and re-connection of the actuator-to-base connection. That way, the actuator can be rolled over a half a roll to present the opposite broad side thereof for production of calls. The actuator's handle is bored through with a lock hole, which allows insertion of a locking fastener through it that is then tightened into a socket therefor in the call base. This optionally locks the turkey call from squawking when not wanted. Moreover, the call actuator can be disconnected from the original end of the call base and re-connected to the opposite end by virtue of the socket for the locking fastener. Hence, the call actuator can be operatively connected to either end of the call base.

  • Patent number: 6736469
    Abstract: Flat prefabricated panels are fastened together to form a desk/computer workstation having an adjustable monitor support and an adjustable keyboard support. A vertical member on the monitor support panel which adjusts the position of a monitor is selectively movable along a slot formed therein. A slidable panel on the rear of the desk is used to control the height of the rear edge of the monitor support panel while slidable members on the inboard surfaces of side panels of the desk proper are used to adjust the height of the forward end of the monitor support panel. A keyboard support is adjustably mounted on the side panels by way of two pairs of flat panels. In a second embodiment, a hutch or equipment support shelf is mounted on the monitor support panel. The angle of an equipment support shelf of the hutch with respect to the horizontal is adjustable.

  • Publication number: 20020026359
    Abstract: A method of targeted advertising includes generating a targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material corresponding to a client's selections, fulfilling the targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material, and providing a response tracking analysis to the client. The targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material includes a response tracking capability. Access for the client to contact a central facility having public and/or private client databases with list management capabilities can be provided on-line via a client web site. The client can choose from a selection of templates to design of the targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material. Also, the client can choose from a selection of intended recipients by using and/or modifying a new or pre-existing customer list. The targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material can be manufactured and distributed to the intended recipients.

  • Patent number: 6149493
    Abstract: A wooden box call is modified such that its actuator top can flip over in order to allow presenting either of the opposite broad faces of the actuator top for rubbing against a sidewall edge of the box. The actuator top is preferably a composite or a bi-material in the sense that it is made of two different materials laminated together. That way the opposite broad faces are distinct from one another at least in the respect that they are different materials. Alternate use of one or the other broad faces of the actuator top for rubbing against a sidewall edge of the box provides at least two different varieties in the characteristic pitch obtained by the material of either. Additionally, a stylus-type scrape call is modified to allow adjustable pitch by the combination of a stylus and an associated damper-handle which has a hole through it in which the stylus is inserted and secured.

  • Patent number: 5846119
    Abstract: A wooden box call is modified to carry a strike plate on the back face of the lid/actuator. The strike plate allows use with conventional pegs or reeds, which are scraped against the strike plate to produce a mimic turkey call different from the mimic turkey call obtainable from the box call when used conventionally. Also, the reed or peg can be partly threaded and thus be screwed into a socket in the bottom of the box call such that flipping the lid/actuator allows alternate use between the conventional way box calls are used, and the way of the fixed peg/strike plate combination. More than one peg can be screwed into the bottom of the box call in order to get resonance between them. Resonating reeds can also be achieved by a stand-alone base block to which two or more reeds are attached like tines of a tuning fork.
