Abstract: A smart card with an RFID tag is held in a wallet comprising a back layer and at least one front layer stitched to the back layer around part of a perimeter thereof to define at least one pocket in the wallet dimensioned to hold and completely surround the smart card. Both of the layers are composed of a stainless steel fabric capable of blocking RF radiation.

Abstract: A bag for use in sorting items is provided. The bag includes a body that at least partially defines an upper compartment and a top opening to allow access to the upper compartment. A lower compartment is at least partially defined by the body. Both the upper and lower compartments are configured for holding items therein. The body defines a selectively closable lower compartment opening to allow access to the lower compartment. A partition is disposed between the upper and lower compartments. The partition defines a partition aperture to allow the transfer of items from the upper compartment to the lower compartment based on the size and shape of the items to sort the items between the upper and lower compartments.

Abstract: An improved handbag or the like having one entire side wall formed of a transparent panel which can be selectively exposed to permit facilitated viewing of items contained therein. The transparent panel is joined to an opaque panel to form a receptacle with an access opening at the top. An exterior cover panel is removably positioned in covering relation to the transparent panel and at least partially separably attached to the bag structure, allowing the cover panel to be displaced from covering relation to enable facilitated viewing of personal affects through the transparent panel for easy selection and removal.

Abstract: A buffer circuit includes a buffer input, a memory, a memory controller and an upper buffer limit register. The memory is coupled to receive information from the buffer input. The memory has a single-port for accessing a plurality of storage locations for storing the information. The upper buffer limit register is for storing an upper buffer limit value. The memory controller is coupled to the memory and the upper buffer limit register. The memory controller prioritizes writes over reads when the number of storage locations of the memory storing the information is less than the upper buffer limit value. The memory controller prioritizes reads over writes when the number of storage locations storing the information is greater than the upper buffer limit value.

Abstract: A COG (Chip On Glass) type liquid crystal display (LCD) and a method of producing the same are disclosed. A semiconductor device is mounted on a glass substrate or LCD panel by a COG scheme. The semiconductor device has output connection terminals connected to an output conductive pattern formed on the glass substrate. Also, the semiconductor device has input connection terminals connected to a metal wiring included in a flexible printed circuit. This allows an input signal to be fed to the semiconductor device without resorting to an input conductive pattern customarily formed on the the glass substrate.

Abstract: A key storage device comprising a rectangular flexible base sheet and a rectangular flexible key retaining sheet, the key retaining sheet being closely fitted to the dimensions of the base sheet, the key retaining sheet being positioned to overlie and contact the base sheet, the key retaining sheet being fixedly attached to the base sheet along its outer periphery by heat fusion welding forming a key retaining enclosure, the key retaining sheet being further fixedly attached at a centrally located point, forming a key slide stop; and the key retaining sheet having a pair of key receiving slits therethrough for the insertion of and retention of keys.
