Abstract: An apparatus to generate nitric oxide is disclosed in one embodiment in accordance with the invention as including a heat source and a vessel containing the heat source. A tablet may be placed within the vessel such that it is in thermal communication with the heat source to receive heat therefrom. The tablet may contain reactants that are substantially non-deliquescent and form nitric oxide in response to heat from the heat source.

Abstract: A protocol management system is capable of detecting certain message protocols and applying policy rules to the detected message protocols that prevent intrusion, or abuse, of a network's resources. In one aspect, a protocol message gateway is configured to apply policy rules to high level message protocols, such as those that reside at layer 7 of the ISO protocol stack.

Abstract: A method to generate nitric oxide is disclosed in one embodiment in accordance with the invention. A tablet may be placed within a vessel such that it is in thermal communication with a heat source to receive heat therefrom. The tablet is then heated to melt at least one reactant forming the tablet. The tablet may contain reactants that are substantially non-deliquescent and form nitric oxide in response to heat from the heat source.

Abstract: Gaming devices and methods of playing games wherein an indication of the cards which have already been discarded or dealt is displayed for a player to view prior to making a decision. One embodiment is directed to a gaming device comprising a video display which is designed for the play of Blackjack. Other embodiments are directed to table versions of the present invention wherein physical playing cards are actually dealt to one or more players. At the conclusion of each hand, an indication of the cards dealt is displayed for viewing by all of the players.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a lighting system including a light fixture with a bracket attached thereto and an elongated flange comprising a body portion and a coupling member extending from the body portion. The coupling member is adapted to interact with the bracket to secure the light fixture to the flange. The present invention is also a method of installing a lighting system including the steps of: providing a light fixture with a bracket attached thereto; providing an elongated flange including a body portion, a coupling member configured to mate with the bracket of the light fixture extending from the body portion and a stop member extending substantially perpendicular to the body portion; forcing the elongated flange into a structure until the stop member is in contact with the structure; and securing the light fixture to the elongated flange by mating the bracket with the coupling member.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, and/or systems associated with funding one or more financial obligations, such as, for example, a benefits program, are disclosed.

Abstract: A nitric oxide gas generator which includes a body having a dilution inlet chamber, a chemical mixing chamber, and a dilution outlet chamber. A dilution inlet for diluent gases is provided into the dilution inlet chamber. An inlet is provided to permit entry of the diluent gases into the chemical mixing chamber. An outlet is provided to permit the exit of diluted nitric oxide gas from the chemical mixing chamber to the dilution outlet chamber. A dilution outlet is provided for removal of diluted nitric oxide gas from the dilution outlet chamber. Supports are provided for supporting chemicals to be reacted to produce nitric oxide gas. A heat source is provided to heat the chemical mixing chamber in which chemicals are mixed to initiate a chemical reaction that produces nitric oxide gas.
