  • Publication number: 20080034982
    Abstract: An infrared barbecue grill which includes a body, a pair of infrared burners, a first shield member, a first baffle installed on the outer edge of the first shield member, a second shield member, a second baffle having a first edge installed on the outer edge of the second shield and having a lug, a grate placed on the body, a heat dissipator arranged on a bottom of the body, and a water basin mounted under the heat dissipator, whereby the baffles will guide the heat through the holes thereon to the region of the grate where the infrared ray emitted from the infrared burners cannot cover, the lug will prevent the rear infrared burner from emitting infrared rays directly to the user, and the water basin will provide water vapor to add moisture to the food on the grate thereby making the food juicy and delicious to eat.

  • Patent number: 7000528
    Abstract: A barbecuing push cart employing LPG and charcoal for barbecuing is disclosed. The barbecuing push cart comprises a hand-pushing cart and a barbecuing oven mounted on the push cart. The opening of the oven has an inner edge wall on which a barbecuing net can be mounted. The internal bottom section of the oven housing is provided with an LPG oven plate. An elevating device having a charcoal plate is provided between the oven opening and the LPG oven plate. One side end of the elevating device is horizontally projected out with a rocking shaft which is projected through the oven and extended toward the user. A downward lifting door is formed at the elevating device and the elevating region of the charcoal plate. An ignition element linked to the LPG stove plate is protruded out from the oven and an ignition button is formed. The frame wall of the oven housing, corresponding to the rocking shaft, is a multi-stage engaging slots. Thus, the barbecuing oven can be operated using both charcoal and LPG.

  • Publication number: 20050210275
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for protecting a computer program from unauthorized analysis and modification. Obfuscation transformations can be applied to the computer program's local structure, control graph, and/or data structure to render the program more difficult to understand and/or modify. Tamper-resistance mechanisms can be incorporated into the computer program to detect attempts to tamper with the program's operation. Once an attempt to tamper with the computer program is detected, the computer program reports it to an external agent, ceases normal operation, and/or reverses any modifications made by the attempted tampering. The computer program can also be watermarked to facilitate identification of its owner. The obfuscation, tamper-resistance, and watermarking transformations can be applied to the computer program's source code, object code, or executable image.
