Abstract: An apparatus can include a base mold and a silicone bag attached to the base mold. The base mold and the silicone bag can define a primary chamber in fluid communication with a primary vacuum port and a resin channel in fluid communication with the primary chamber. Resin can be injected into the resin channel and, with the assistance of a vacuum pressure applied at the primary vacuum port, resin flows from the resin channel into the primary chamber where it infuses a porous material. The base mold and silicone bag also define an outer vacuum channel that holds the silicone bag in place. The apparatus can be used in a method of manufacturing composite materials.

Abstract: A mathematics game for playing by a plurality of players using different types of dice, including a first set with predetermined numeric values provided thereon; a second set with “+” or “?” symbols provided thereon (representing positive or negative); and a third set with different mathematical function symbols provided on the respective faces. The game includes a score card provided for each player. The score card includes a region for entering number values corresponding to a throw of the first type of dice; a region for entering “+”/“?” values corresponding to a throw of the second type of dice; a region for entering mathematical functions corresponding to a throw of the third type of dice; a region for entering a mathematical equation based on information in the above regions; and a region for entering a cumulative score of the respective player.

Abstract: A board game includes a board having an upper surface with a peripheral region and a central region. The peripheral region has positions for placement of player pieces thereupon, each peripheral region having located thereon an image of one of a plurality of polygonal shapes. The central region has central sub-regions, each of which has a plurality of polygonal cut-outs for receiving a corresponding one of a plurality of polygonal objects of a particular color that are shaped in a same manner as the polygonal cut-out. When a player answers a question related to polygon shapes correctly, that player places a respective polygon-shaped piece into a corresponding polygon-shaped cut-out region in his/her assigned central region. Players move player pieces a number of positions on the peripheral region of the board corresponding to dice roll numbers. When a player answers a question incorrectly, for the player's next turn, the player piece is moved in the opposite direction on the peripheral region of the board.

Abstract: An electronic calendar provides a large area switch array with multiple dedicated date entry buttons and multiple date entry modes to substantially reduce operator access time. Lightweight low profile circuitry allows the calendar to be easily attached by a consumer to the front of a refrigerator or the like and audio messaging eliminates time-consuming handwritten entries.

Abstract: Methods are provided for a protecting an individual's genetic information, particularly an individual's nucleotide sequence information. According to these methods, a service provider obtains nucleotide sequence information for an individual, enters the information into a database, and seeks protection for the individual's nucleotide sequence information, especially copyright protection.
