Abstract: An insulating panel assembly includes an exterior panel that is formed of a metal. The insulating panel assembly also includes an interior panel. A spacer is coupled to the exterior panel and the interior panel. The spacer maintains the exterior panel in a generally parallel, spaced relationship with the interior panel.

Abstract: A universal interface driver application specific integrated circuit (UIDA) for a data reading device which supports multiple host interface configurations through the use of shared communications lines. In one application, the UIDA is a 32 or 44-pin TQFP chip located in a bar code scanner, or other data reader, connected to a host processing device such as a computer terminal. The scanner reads and decodes bar codes, transmitting the information to the host processing device through an interconnect cable using a host specific input/output interface protocol. The UIDA contains circuitry to support numerous different host interface protocols, such as RS-232C, IBM46XX, or Keyboard Wedge interface, in order to allow a single data reader to operate with a wide variety of host processing devices.

Abstract: A downhole preferential hydrocarbon gas recovery system and method employ preferentially selective materials to separate the hydrocarbon gas from contaminants. According to one aspect of the invention, the preferentially selective materials are arranged in tubes with the hydrocarbon gas flowing through the tubes and the contaminants permeating out through the preferentially selective material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for selling putters at the critical point of purchase. The purchaser of a putter first selects an un-customized putter having the club head, offset, and shaft length characteristics desired. Then the purchaser is instructed on how to bend the hosel at the point of purchase to create a putter with a desired lie angle and desired loft angle.
