Abstract: An attachment for use with a mobile device with an imaging device or with a case for the mobile device can include one or more of an attachment base and an attachment body. The attachment base can be configured to be secured to at least one of the mobile device and the case. The attachment body can include at least one optical device for use with the imaging device and can be configured to be secured to the attachment base. The attachment base can removably secure the attachment body to the mobile device or the case when the attachment body is secured to the attachment base.

Abstract: An attachment assembly for use with a mobile device with a camera or a case for the mobile device can include one or more of an attachment base and an attachment body. The attachment base can be configured to be secured to at least one of the mobile device and the case. The attachment body can include at least one optical device for use with the camera and can be configured to be removably secured to the attachment base. The attachment base can removably secure the attachment body to the mobile device or the case when the attachment body is removably secured to the attachment base.

Abstract: A method of implementing a bargaining strategy includes receiving a first plurality of attributes corresponding to team members of a first team, and a second plurality of attributes corresponding to team members of a second team. The two teams participate in a bargaining process and each team bargains pursuant to a majority rule. The method includes determining at least one critical first team member from the first team using the first plurality of attributes, and at least one critical second team member from the second team using the second plurality of attributes. The at least one critical first and second team members are determinative of an agreeable outcome of the bargaining process. The method includes generating suggested bargaining terms likely to result in the agreeable outcome of the bargaining process between the first and second teams according to the at least one critical first and second team members.

Abstract: Very small non-volatile memory cards are modified to include a connector to which a connector on a separate data input-output card electrically and mechanically mates when pushed together. The input-output card transfers data directly between an external device and the non-volatile memory, without having to go through the host to which the memory card is connected. The input-output card communicates with the external device through a wired or a wireless communication channel.

Abstract: The functionality provided to electronic devices by application specific removable modules is enhanced by viewing the removable modules as first-level removable modules and providing them with at least one second-level removable slot for selectively nesting second-level removable modules having particular external I/O capabilities. The functionality provided to the electronic devices by such a first-level removable module can thus be provided in part by the application specific circuitry within the removable module and further in part by the type of external I/O of the second-level removable module.

Abstract: Triazole compounds having a 2,6-disubstituted-phenyl group in the 3-position, 5?-arylthien-2-yl group in the 5-position and an alkyl group in the 1-position are effective in controlling lepidoptera, coleoptera, mites and other sucking pests.

Abstract: An integrated circuit leadframe has a pair of leadframe rails that are specially treated to adhere to injection mold compounds to a lesser or greater degree than portions of the leadframe rails outside of the treated areas. By adhering to mold compounds to a greater degree, mold compound not removed during a deflashing procedure does not flake off to form mold compound debris during a trimming and forming procedure. By adhering to mold compounds to a lesser degree, substantially all of the mold compound is removed during the deflashing procedure so there is no mold compound to flake off to form mold compound debris during the trimming and forming procedure. The leadframe rails may be treated by forming apertures in the rails, by increasing or decreasing the roughness of the leadframe rails, or by coating the leadframe rails with an adhesion promoting or reducing material.

Abstract: Oxazoline compounds having a 3,5-disubstituted-4-pyridyl group in the 2-position and a thienyl, thiazolyl or an arylphenyl group in the 4-position are effective in controlling aphids, insects and mites.

Abstract: Triazole compounds having a 2,6-disubstituted-phenyl group in the 3-position, 5′-arylthien-2-yl group in the 5-position and an alkyl group in the 1-position are effective in controlling lepidoptera, coleoptera, mites and other sucking pests.

Abstract: Triazole compounds having a 2,6-disubstituted-phenyl group in the 3-position, arylthien-2- or -3-yl in the 5-position and an alkyl group in the 1-position are effective in controlling lepidoptera, coleoptera, mites and other sucking pests.
