Abstract:
A half latch for latching a voltage at a domino gate output with reduced crossbar current duty cycle, comprising a CMOS inverter with input connected to the domino gate output, a first pMOSFET having a gate and drain connected to ground and having a source coupled to the source of the nMOSFET of the CMOS inverter to prevent the source voltage of the nMOSFET from approaching ground, and a second pMOSFET having a gate connected to the output of the CMOS inverter and having a drain connected to the input of the CMOS inverter.
Abstract:
Search Engine Direct Links method and system for assigning and displaying in a communication network system thru a search engine website. A product or service described with the fewest words is linked to websites that provide this product or service. This system and method links those descriptions to their respective websites and save them in a searchable database. This system and method searches this database to produce a small and precise list of websites linked to those products or services descriptions. This system and method allows current, active and supported websites stand out among thousands and thousands of websites found during a regular search engine search by creating a small and separate search engine direct links list result.
Abstract:
Provided in some embodiments is a beverage brewing device that includes a housing and a fill-port located on front side of the housing. The fill-port includes an inlet that may accept a fluid supply container. Provided in some embodiments is a method of preparing a brewed beverage that includes coupling a fluid supply container to a fill-port located on a front side of a brewing device, routing a fluid contained in the fluid container from the fluid container to a heat-exchange device to heat the fluid, routing the heated fluid to a brewing container to brew the fluid, and routing the brewed fluid into a beverage container used for serving the brewed beverage.
Abstract:
A portable outdoor cooking and decorative appliance including a combustion compartment and a separate oven compartment. The appliance can burn a variety of solid, liquid, and/or gaseous fuels. Material combustion products are inhibited from contacting food items inside the oven compartment to avoid contamination and transfer of undesired tastes, smells, and materials. The appliance is constructed to more efficiently transfer heat to the oven compartment to improve cooking speed and capability and reduce fuel needed. The appliance can include transparent doors such that users can view the interior of the appliance during use, without opening the doors.
Abstract:
The present invention employs public key infrastructure to electronically sign and encrypt important personal information on a mobile communications device (MCD), without disclosing private, personal information to the transaction counterparts and middleman, thus preserving highly elevated and enhanced security and fraud protection. In one embodiment, the present invention can use a mobile device identifier, such as a cell phone number or email address, for example, as an index/reference during the entire transaction, so that only the account holder and the account issuer know the underlying account number and other private information.
Abstract:
A system and method for a bed transport. The system may include a drive system configured to couple to a bed frame and to provide powered movement of the bed frame. The system may also include a substantially vertical control arm and a control handle coupled to the control arm. The system may also comprise a switch on the control handle, and the switch may be configured to control a function of the drive system.
Abstract:
An exhaust manifold gasket device for precisely aligning a gasket for installation includes a gasket that has an exhaust hole and a coolant hole thereby facilitating the gasket to be positioned between an exhaust manifold and a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. The gasket has a pair of locating slots each extending into the gasket to facilitate each of the locating slots to receive a respective head bolt in the exhaust manifold. In this way the gasket can be precisely aligned for final installation.
