Abstract: A connector having a plurality of prongs at each end. The prongs can be inserted into portals, such as those of slat board. The connector can be locked in place by angling the prongs into the portals and connecting two parts of the connector to each other, such as by a male and female connector, which lock and affix in place, requiring a tool to remove. A connector arm can also be attached to the connector, extending outwards, such as at an acute angle, to the connector. On this arm, an extension arm can be further attached. Either the connecting arm or extension arm can have portals for a hook or an integrated hook from which merchandise can be hung. Each of the connecting arm, connector, and extension arm can be reversibly or removably attached one to the other by way of a depressible button on one device extending through a portal of another.

Abstract: A method is provided for making a porous inorganic membrane by using a mixture of an inorganic material, organic polymer particles and a solvent to form a slurry, the particles being non-spherical, distributing the slurry onto a surface, drying the slurry to remove the solvent and firing the dried slurry to produce the porous inorganic membrane. Examples of organic polymer particles include particles of acrylic. A substrate with a porous inorganic membrane disposed on the substrate is also provided, the inorganic membrane having an average thickness of from about 0.5 micron to about 30 microns, a porosity of from about 30% to about 65%, a median pore size (d50) of from about 0.01 micron to about 1 micron, and a value of (d90?d10)/d50 less than about 2, as measured by mercury porosimetry. An example of a substrate includes an inorganic porous support.

Abstract: A glass structure and a method for creating the glass structure include a glass carrier layer and a flexible glass substrate. The glass structure includes an intermediate layer at least temporarily bonding the flexible glass substrate to the glass carrier layer. The intermediate layer includes a first debond layer attached to an adhesion layer. The first debond layer is at least partially resistant to a high temperature processing of the glass structure at a temperature of greater than or equal to about 500° C. The first debond layer is configured to enable the flexible glass substrate to be debonded from the glass carrier layer after the high temperature processing of the glass structure. A method for processing the glass structure includes debonding the flexible glass substrate from the glass carrier layer after the high temperature process.

Abstract: A system, method and program for enabling a mobile terminal to communicate with a transceiver via two-way radio over a communication network. The mobile terminal receives a first radio communication, converts the first radio communication into first data packets, masks a destination port of the first data packets to appear as a data transfer port of the mobile terminal configured to exchange data with a server, and transmits the first data packets having the masked destination port to the server via the communication network. The mobile terminal receives second data packets, which are converted from a second radio communication transmitted from the transceiver and have a destination port masked to appear as a data receiving port of the mobile terminal configured to exchange data with the server, from the server via the communication network, converts the second data packets to the second radio communication, and outputs the second radio communication.

Abstract: This invention comprises footwear having a power source and switching mechanism mounted in the heel under padding and an electroluminescent wire mounted in a predetermined position on the footwear to provide illumination. The electroluminescent wire comprises a thin linear light source wherein light is produced by activating an electroluminescent phosphor with high alternating electric current. The phosphor is located between two electrically conductive wires, one in the core or center of the phosphor layer and one on the outside of the phosphor layer with spirals about the wire. The electroluminescent wire is connected to a control circuit for converting the battery power to alternating current. When an individual applies force to the bottom of the footwear or motion, a vibration sensitive switch activates the circuit causing the electroluminescent phosphor to become lighted. The wire may be positioned along the out sole inside and outside or along the tongue or other position on the footwear.
