  • Patent number: 7619867
    Abstract: Disclosed is an enhanced conformal coating, a process for making the same, and several computer related applications. A commercially available conformal coating is combined with a commercially available blowing agent (sometimes called a “foaming agent”) to create an enhanced conformal coating. The formulation of the enhanced coating is such that it will emit a particular gas when heated to a particular temperature. The enhanced coating is then applied to an object to which pre-damage heat detection is desired. A sensor, located proximate to the object, is then used to detect the emitted gas. Once the gas is detected, actions can be taken to reduce the heat in a manner appropriate for the particular object. Application of the enhanced coating within the computer industry can involve its use with a particular electrical component or a group of electrical components (e.g., a circuit board). For example, the enhanced coating can be applied to one or more circuit boards.

  • Publication number: 20090150370
    Abstract: A system and method for screening data for restricted party screening. The system comprises an input for entering data, a screening system for screening the data against a database comprising restricted entities information, generating a match score based on the screening of the data, providing a data match based on the match score, and outputting the data match, a work queue for reviewing the data match, and a report generated based on the review of the data match.

  • Publication number: 20040064982
    Abstract: A method of creating an expression of a positive feeling such as love towards another involves taking an empty receptacle, such as a package, wrapping and enclosing the package with gift-style material, placing a note on the package expressing the positive feelings to the recipient of the package and including a request that the package remain unopened but suggesting that the unopened package is filled with the positive feelings. A closed wrapped container, such as a package, has a written note on an exterior surface thereof advising the recipient leave the package unopened, but suggesting that the unopened package is filled with the positive feelings such as love.
