Abstract: A memory system includes dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) components that include interconnected and redundant component data interfaces. The redundant interfaces facilitate memory interconnect topologies that accommodate considerably more DRAM components per memory channel than do traditional memory systems, and thus offer considerably more memory capacity per channel, without concomitant reductions in signaling speeds. Each DRAM component includes multiplexers that allow either of the data interfaces to write data to or read data from a common set of memory banks, and to selectively relay write and read data to and from other components, bypassing the local banks. Delay elements can impose selected read/write delays to align read and write transactions from and to disparate DRAM components.

Abstract: An underlayment that meets underlayment requirements and provides thermal insulation is disclosed. The underlayment includes a core material and an upper emittance layer having an exterior surface. An upper reinforcement layer is positioned between the upper emittance layer and the core material. A first encapsulation layer is positioned between the upper emittance layer and the upper reinforcement layer. A second encapsulation layer is positioned between the upper reinforcement layer and the core material. The underlayment includes a lower emittance layer having an exterior surface. A lower reinforcement layer is positioned between the lower emittance layer and the core material. A third encapsulation layer is positioned between the lower emittance layer and the lower reinforcement layer. A fourth encapsulation layer is positioned between the lower reinforcement layer and the core material.

Abstract: A mattress label system. The mattress includes: an internal support; a cover; and a unique label attached to the cover. In the preferred embodiment, the label includes: a label stock; an ink jet receptive coating; generic product indicia printed onto the label; and a residual print receptive region for receiving mattress specific indicia; and a clear coating covering substantially the surface of the label except the residual print receptive region. After the label is formed with the generic indicia, mattress specific indicia is added at about the time the mattress is completed onto the residual print receptive region, thereby eliminating multiple SKUs for different specific mattresses.

Abstract: A method for referring a real estate buyer from a referring real estate broker to a listing real estate broker through a collective listing organization. The method includes the step of storing a plurality of real estate listings from the listing real estate broker in a database managed by the collective listing organization. Another step is displaying the plurality of real estate listings from the database to the real estate buyer through a broker web site associated with each referring real estate broker. An additional step is recording a personal showing time entered by the real estate buyer viewing the plurality of real estate listings. A further step is sending the personal showing time to the listing real estate broker. Yet another step is paying the collective listing organization a commission when the real estate buyer purchases real estate based on the personal showing time from the listing real estate broker.

Abstract: A method for referring a buyer from a referring marketer to a listing sales broker through a collective listing organization. The method includes the step of storing a plurality of sales listings from the listing sales broker in a database. Another step is displaying the plurality of sales listings from the database for a buyer through a computer network interface associated with each referring marketer. A further step is recording referral information entered into the computer network interface by the buyer who views the plurality of sales listings. The next step is transferring the referral information to the listing sales broker. An additional step is paying the collective listing organization a commission when the buyer purchases an item listed in a sales listing from the listing sales broker.

Abstract: Images are provided to a pilot in an aircraft overflying the earth by means of a helmet mounted display system. The position and attitude of the aircraft with respect to the earth and the attitude of the helmet with respect to the aircraft are monitored in order to convert a plurality of stored earth position signals into helmet coordinates. Earth points which are viewable by the pilot are displayed using symbolic images thereof such that the symbolic images coincide, from the pilot's point of view, with the actual positions of the viewable points on the earth.

Abstract: A security lock for attachment to the inside of a door which is secure, pick-proof, adaptable to any door-lock and door-frame combination and is easily locked and unlocked by the user. The lock is characterized by having a hook end to engage the striker plate depression and a slideable lock piece that engages the shank of the lock at adjustable positions to lock upon its serrated or toothed edge against the door and frame at their juncture and thus prevent the door from being swung inwardly.

Abstract: A bottle fitment is disclosed including a one-way valve which prevents re-filling of the bottle without visible damage to the fitment. The Bottle Fitment can be combined with a bottle cap for use in a bottle capping machine. The fitment also allows free flow of liquid from the neck of the bottle without an initial surge. The neck opening of the fitment includes a no-drip feature.
