  • Patent number: 9818317
    Abstract: A sign holder for use with a display has a plaque having a first surface and a second surface. A mounting bracket is coupled to the second surface. A first and a second support arm are pivotally coupled to the mounting bracket. A catch is coupled to the mounting bracket and is positioned intermediate the first and the second support arms. In some embodiments, the first and second support arms are pivotable between a first position in which the first and second support arms are substantially perpendicular to the second surface, and a second position in which the first and second support arms are substantially parallel to the second surface.

  • Patent number: 9408480
    Abstract: An eyewear display assembly, according to various embodiments, has a base portion (e.g., a rectangular base portion), a marketing materials sheet, and an eyewear support portion (e.g., a rectangular eyewear support portion. In various embodiments, the eyewear support portion defines one or more eyewear support cutouts for providing lateral support to eyewear placed within the one or more eyewear support cutouts. The eyewear display assembly further has a suitable affixing mechanism, such as one or more magnets, for mounting the base portion adjacent the eyewear support portion while holding marketing material sheet between them. The base portion may be configured to support one or more pairs of eyewear as the one or more pairs of eyewear are disposed at least partially within the one or more eyewear support cutouts.

  • Publication number: 20140249617
    Abstract: A stent-graft delivery system includes a balloon, a sleeve disposed over the balloon, and a stent graft mounted over the sleeve. The sleeve includes a weakened area between a first end and a second end of the sleeve such that when the balloon is expanded, the balloon expands from a center portion of the balloon towards the ends of the balloon. The weakened area of the sleeve may be a slit, a thinner wall section, grooves, notches, or other weakening features. The sleeve may be adhesively attached to an outer shaft of the catheter or to an outer surface of the balloon.

  • Publication number: 20130117862
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of authenticating subscription to a mobile content service. Currently, the known methods of authenticating subscription to a mobile content service are unsatisfactory due to their susceptibility to fraud and their complexity. The present invention obviates the problems with the known methods by introducing a third party Unique Identifier verifier 7 (TPV). The TPV 7 generates a Unique Identifier code on request of a service provider 5 (SP) and transmits the Unique Identifier code to a mobile communication device 9 (MCD). The MCD 9 then transmits this Unique Identifier code to the SP 5 who in turn verifies the Unique Identifier code with the TPV 7. If the TPV 7 verifies that the Unique Identifier code is authentic, the MCD 9 user is subscribed to the service. This method simplifies the existing methods and furthermore reduces the possibility of fraud.
