  • Patent number: 7726499
    Abstract: A bottle holder with an indented base, which has a body sized and shaped to receive a bottle. At least a portion of the body is radially expandable. A grip is attached to the exterior of the body and a securing base is located within the interior of the body. The securing base is sized and shaped to receive the indented base of a bottle and, when in use, to prevent radial movement of the bottle. When a bottle is inserted into the body, it is received by the indented base and is securely held in the bottle holder by the grip.

  • Publication number: 20080130896
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for increasing the accuracy and security of data capture from a paper form where the form was completed electronically and printed out prior to submission. The invention utilizes two-dimensional barcode technology to dynamically capture data entered electronically into the form. The data contained in this two-dimensional barcode is then encrypted for security and authentication purposes and printed on the form when the user prints the form.

  • Patent number: 6940145
    Abstract: A semiconductor device (e.g. MOSFET or IGBT) comprises active and termination regions (1,2) formed in a semiconductor substrate (4). The substrate (4) has an upper surface and a termination including a trench (12) extending into the substrate (4) from the upper surface within the termination region (1). Termination trench (12) is at least partly filled with an insulating material (13) which extends from the termination trench (12) to overlie adjacent regions of the device above the surface. A channel stop region (11) extends laterally from a side wall of the termination trench (12) into the substrate (4).
