20100163685 | WING - A wing, comprising a structure, an outer skin, and a leading edge device comprising a moveable body with a leading and a trailing edge and a support and actuation mechanism for attaching said moveable body to a structure of a wing and guiding a substantially circular motion of said moveable body, around a hinge line, between a retracted position and at least one deployed position. Said leading edge device further comprises at least one guiding device comprising a track and a follower with a roller. The track follows a substantially circular arc substantially centered on the hinge line. The roller is arranged to be guided by the track and hold down said moveable aerodynamic surface so as to substantially restrict lift-off of its trailing edge from the outer skin of the wing. | 07-01-2010 |

20140372242 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SHARING OWNERSHIP OF AND AUTHORIZING ACCESS TO DIGITAL MEDIA - A method of sharing and managing ownership of and access to digital media works includes initially offering for sale a predetermined number of blocks of a digital media work, for example, a song, each block representing a share of ownership of the song. Access is provided to a user to use the digital media work, for example, to listen to the song, via a link provided after purchasing a block of the song. The selling price of the blocks is updated based on a demand for the digital media work. For example, the selling price can be increased in incremental amounts in proportion to a percentage of the number of blocks sold until the entire initial stash of blocks is sold. Thereafter, blocks can be sold to, and traded between, users in various gaming and other applications that promote social aspects of the method, as well as for profit. | 12-18-2014 |

20130260477 | BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE STORAGE DEVICE - Embodiments of the invention relate to methods of assembling an apparatus for holding biological samples. Conventionally, storage media are encased in a relatively thin flexible cardboard frame. Such constructions are vulnerable to damage from moisture and mechanical forces; these defects may subsequently cause problems for automated handling systems. In an embodiment, these defects are prevented by providing a pair of rigid frames, each frame comprising an aperture; placing a biological sample storage medium between the two frames so that the biological sample storage medium at least partly overlaps each of the apertures in the frames; and joining the two frames to fix the biological sample storage medium in place while allowing access to the biological sample storage medium via each of the apertures. Thus, in embodiments of the present invention, the frames can be rigid and waterproof, and provide a robust storage media for biological samples. At least one pre-defined area of weakness can be provided in the frames, to allow removal of a portion of the frames. | 10-03-2013 |

20120271339 | Balloon Catheter With Integrated Optical Sensor For Determining Balloon Diameter - An apparatus and method for determining an expanded diameter of a catheter balloon. An optical sensor includes an elongated optical fiber with at least one diffraction grating formed in a core of a distal portion thereof. The fiber distal portion is coupled to the inflatable balloon. Broadband light is transmitted to the diffraction grating by an optical interrogator.
