  • Patent number: 8220709
    Abstract: A system including a terminal; and a network configured to communicatively couple with the terminal, the network including a database configured to store information concerning the user and a wedding card, and a server configured to provide web services that include receiving personal information concerning a user, determining whether to authorize the user based on the personal information, granting a wedding card to the user based on the determination to authorize the user, wherein the wedding card is associated with an upcoming wedding of the user, and providing access to a website for the user, wherein the website provides a wedding management system assisting the user in planning the upcoming wedding.

  • Patent number: 4531094
    Abstract: A method of obtaining an NMR spectrum from a sample comprising the steps of: maintaining a static magnetic field along an axis which is homogeneous over at least a small volume constituting part of a sample applying a gradient to said magnetic field which varies in one direction orthogonal to said axis while applying an rf pulse to the sample to saturate all nuclei in the said volume except for a slab lying in a plane normal to the said one direction replacing the said gradient by a second gradient to said magnetic field which varies in a second direction orthogonal to said axis and said one direction while applying an rf pulse to the sample to saturate all nuclei in the said volume except for a slab lying in a plane normal to the said second direction, whereby nuclei in a narrow column extending parallel to the said axis have their spins left undisturbed replacing the second gradient by a third gradient to said static magnetic field which varies in a direction parallel to said axis while applying an rf pulse
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4181168
    Abstract: A cordless pneumatic tire built on a conventional tire building drum by placing an extruded piece of uncured rubber, including tread and sidewall compounds, between a pair of beads positioned on a pair of rubberized strips, with reinforcing cords, disposed in parallel relation around the building drum. The ends of the strips extending beyond the beads, are reversely turned back over the beads into contacting, adhering relation with the sidewall stock, forming an uncured tire body, which is then removed from the building drum, placed in a mold and heated to vulcanize the tire.
