The invention relates to a method for associating a client with an access point using a security protocol. The method may include initiating a handshake and exchanging operational information between the access point and the client, establishing an encrypted operational key if the operational information is validated and entering an operational phase using the operational key and an unique service set identifier if valid.

Using peer-to-peer networking to exchange consumer information in a secure environment. The seeker of consumer information transmits an encrypted query to authenticated and trusted peers which includes legal representations stating the legally permissible purpose for seeking the information. A peer, acting as a maintainer of consumer information, determines if the query matches any consumer information held by the maintainer. The maintainer then informs the seeker of the results of the match, the type of information available, the data format, and the price for such consumer information. A payment invoice can be generated and electronically presented by maintainer. The payment may be electronically debited from the designated account of seeker and remitted to maintainer. In addition, a portion of such funds may be delivered to an entity which maintains the peer-to-peer software.

A forms engine allows data sharing between customizable on-line forms, such as college admissions applications. Before applying, an applicant opens an account with a third party application servicer. After the applicant completes an application for one institution, the data is saved in a data base and automatically populates fields in subsequent application forms. The form for each institution is created from a form description file. Each form is branded for its institution and forms for different institutions differ in appearance and content so that the presence of the third party servicer is transparent to the applicant.The system is extensible without programming, allowing new applicant attributes to be readily incorporated into the system and allowing the content and appearance of the application to be readily changed by changing the description file. The use of aliases for applicant attributes permits data to be readily shared between forms even though labeled and arranged differently on different forms. Information stored about each attribute allows the specification of data validation rules and data sharing and grouping rules, as well as dependency rules that permit application page content to depend on applicant's responses on a previous page.

A camera system having an electronic flash with a variable illumination angle, comprising: an image forming system having a user-selectable field-of-view for forming an image of a scene onto an image plane; an electronic flash system including a plurality of fixed focal length illumination lenses having two or more different focal lengths and one or more light emitters positioned behind each of the illumination lenses, the light emitters being positioned relative to their respective illumination lenses to provide two or more different illumination angles onto the scene; and a flash controller that selectively fires different subsets of the light emitters responsive to the selected field-of-view of the image forming system.

A method of making a rapid setting composition for cement boards is disclosed. Compositions including portland cement, fly ash, gypsum, alkanolamine and phosphate are disclosed. A synergistic interaction between the alkanolamine and phosphate increases the effectiveness of accelerating reactions thus allowing for quick setting and increased early-age compressive strength compositions.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code generating an optimized marketing model for marketing products to customers in a retail facility. In one embodiment, event data is parsed to identify patterns of events, wherein the event data comprises metadata describing events associated with the retail facility; events in the patterns of events that achieve a target outcome are identified to form optimized events. A marketing strategy is generated using the optimized events to form the optimized marketing model.

A thermoplastic vulcanizate prepared by a process comprising the steps of dynamically vulcanizing a vulcanizable rubber within a mixture that includes from about 15 to about 90 percent by weight of the rubber and from about 10 to about 85 percent by weight of a long-chain branched thermoplastic resin, where the long-chain branched thermoplastic resin is (i) an alpha-olefin polymer, (ii) a copolymer of an alpha-olefin and an alpha-omega-olefin diene, or (iii) a mixture thereof, where the long-chain branched thermoplastic resin is characterized by a weight average molecular weight from about 100,000 to about 600,000, a number average molecular weight from about 40,000 to about 200,000, a z-average molecular weight from about 400,000 to about 2,000,000, a <g'>vis from about 0.2 to about 0.95, and a melt flow rate from about 0.3 to about 30 dg / min.

An exercise device comprising two box-like open-sided platform sections disposed side-by-side in a closed, storage and transporting position or end-to-end in an open exercising position and having two rotary disk assemblies that are mountable in a plurality of fixed exercising positions along the platform sections by means of pins on the lower sides of the disk assemblies and a longitudinal series of mounting holes in each platform section. Elongated elastic resistance bands are connectable between the rotary disks, on hook connectors thereon, and between the disks and the platform sections, in various ways for closed-chain operation, when desired, or removable for open-chain exercises.

An apparatus for and method of extending the dynamic range of a RF communications receiver. The invention provides a mechanism for controlling the gain of both the LNA and down conversion mixer in the front end portion of an RF receiver. Both the LNA and the mixer are adapted to have both low and high gain modes of operation. The control mechanism typically comprises a two bit gain control that places both the LNA and mixer in one of four operating gain mode states. The selection of the most appropriate operating gain mode state, is preferably determined in accordance with various metrics such as the received levels of the desired signal, levels of interference signals, bit error rate and receiver RSSI.
