Abstract:
The present invention provides a method, program product and system for distributing a licensed digital product. The invention involves assigning a unique identifier to the digital product as well as each copy of the product. The invention also assigns unique identifiers to all distributors of the product. When a copy of the digital product is sold from the manufacturer to an end user through the distributors, the unique identifier of that copy is matched with the unique identifiers of all distributors who were involved in supplying the copy to the end user. After validating the purchase of the digital product a unique activation code is issued for that copy, which allows the end user to utilize the features of the product. The distributors in the supply chain that were involved in selling that particular copy of the digital product are then paid according to a pre-determined schedule.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for using a wireless transmission between an embroidery machine and a source system to update stitch data in a memory card. A command to update the stitch data in the memory card is received. Once it is determined that the memory card is not currently in use, the memory card is logically disconnected from the embroidery machine. The new stitch data is then transferred from a source system to the memory card via a wireless connection, and the contents of the memory card are updated with the new stitch data. The memory card is then logically reconnected to the embroidery machine and the new stitch data is ready to be used by the embroidery machine.

The present invention provides a non-asphaltic peel-and-stick roofing membrane for quicker and easier installation to a roof substrate, as well as a method of manufacturing the membrane.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for dynamically determining a primary adapter in a heterogeneous N-way adapter configuration. Each of the adapters generates information about itself and exchanges the information with all other adapters. First a decision-making adapter is identified. Then the decision-making adapter compares the adapter-generated information of all the adapters and makes a decision determining the primary adapter. The decision-making adapter communicates the decision to all other adapters. The determined primary adapter assumes a role as the primary adapter and the other adapters assume a role as a secondary adapter.
Abstract:
An intuitive and context sensitive system facilitating the proper identification and service of a vehicle undergoing a vehicle service procedure. The system is configured with a mapping of relevant vehicle identification assistance data or vehicle specific information to one or more selection locations in the user interface of a vehicle service software application. The mapping identifies the availability of additional vehicle identification assistance information, vehicle specific functional applets, and the context within the vehicle service software application at which the additional vehicle identification assistance information or vehicle specific functional applets are relevant. The additional vehicle identification assistance information or applets are maintained external to the vehicle service software application, permitting the additional vehicle identification assistance information and applets to be updated, changed, or replaced without altering the vehicle service software application.
