Abstract: A hand held forming tool includes a first arm member having a forming portion that includes a base that is connected to a pressure pad and a bending member. The tool also includes a second arm member pivotally connected to the first arm member. The second arm member includes a die portion. The forming portion and the die portion move between an open and a closed position in response to a force applied to handles of the first and second arm members. The die portion includes a die body having a slot and a bending channel. The slot is complementary to the pressure pad and the bending channel is complementary to the bending member. The tool further includes a shearing plate that is arranged so as to cut a work piece that has been inserted into the slot.

Abstract: A template is provided that may include a body having an interior surface shaped to substantially mate with an exterior surface of at least a portion of an airfoil. At least one machining tool positioning member is positioned on the body and configured to locate a machining tool for operation on the airfoil. In another embodiment, the template may include a longitudinal slit allowing selective placement and selective removal of the body from the airfoil, and/or a longitudinal positioning element at an end of the body for positioning the template relative to an endwall of the airfoil.

Abstract: A device includes a processor and an interface. The processor is configured to identify a base topic of a personalized media stream. The processor is also configured to identify a first media item based on first data from a first source. The first data is assigned a first weighting of the first source based on an identified level of familiarity associated with the base topic and an identified level of popularity in another personalized media stream. The processor is also configured to build a collection of candidate media items that includes the first media item and a second media item. The processor is further configured to order the collection of candidate media items to form the personalized media stream. Ordering the collection includes ordering the first media item within the collection based on the first weighting. The interface is configured to communicate the personalized media stream to a client device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process comprises identifying, by a computer server system, a base topic for a personalized media stream for a user of a computer system; identifying, with the computer server system, a plurality of media items associated with the base topic using a plurality of different and independent categories of media categorization data, wherein each of the categories of media categorization data is assigned a weighting; building a collection of candidate media items from the identified plurality of media items; ordering the collection of candidate media items to form a personalized media stream; and providing the ordered collection of candidate media items for playing to the user.

Abstract: Methods and systems described herein can consolidate a plurality of a consumer's payment and non-payment source accounts into a consolidated platform with a customer identification or available proxy account numbers that can be assigned to source accounts. The source accounts can be, for example, credit card accounts, ATM accounts, debit card accounts, demand deposit accounts, stored-value accounts, merchant-loyalty card accounts, membership accounts, and identification card numbers. The consumer can access and modify any of the source accounts and manage funds across the source accounts by accessing the consolidated platform with a single access device or mode.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer-based method for logging a user mobile device onto a server computer system including registering a unique identifier of a user mobile device, receiving a first message from the user mobile device, detecting an Internet Protocol address associated with the user mobile device, receiving the unique identifier corresponding to the Internet Protocol address; and transmitting to the user mobile device a second message.

Abstract: A knife 100 has two blades 120.1, 120.2 that are spaced apart from each other and are supported at one pair of ends in a handle 130 and at the other pair of ends 132. Side guards 110.1. and 110.2 extend from the handle to the tips of the blades and extend below the cutting edges of the blades to protect a user from cutting the palm of his or her hand. The cutting edges of blades 120.1, 120.2 are vertically spaced from each other. The relative spaces between the side guards, between the blades, and between the side guards and the blades are adjustable. The knife may have one or two blades and one or two side guards.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid bleaching composition comprising a hypohalite bleach, a trimethoxy benzoic acid or a salt thereof and a compound selected from the group consisting of bleach-unstable brighteners, and bleach-unstable coloring-agents and mixtures thereof.
