In general the present invention provides for a small hand held size device that is easily kept in a pocket or purse or on a key chain. The security token will contain a microprocessor having memory function and will connect to a PC or other computing device or workstation via a USB port. Upon insertion into the open USB port of the user's remote computer, the personal network security token scans the remote computer to detect the presence of at least one or more operating applications, such as the type of anti-virus software and patch level and / or the type of operating system (OS) the remote computer is running and the patch level. Upon contacting the target network, the network will send an inquiry to the user's remote computer to determine if the personal network security token is present as well as other parameters. If the condition status of the token is “OK” then the network sends an authentication page to the user for the user to enter his or her user ID and password. If the ID and password are valid, then the user is allowed access to the network.

An electronic device housing with a seemless user input zone that measures the level of force applied by the user is described. It is particularly advantageous when used with small hand-held consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, game- and media players. A housing for an electronic device includes a seamless user input zone defining a contact force-sensitive deformable area. A capacitance sensor is formed between the conductive inside surface of the housing and the electrode of the rigid base facing that inside surface. Linear support means such as columns support the housing away from the rigid base defining an air gap. Capacitance measurement circuit is deployed to detect the location and force applied by the user onto the housing and send a user input signal to the electronic device.

A rod and connector toy construction set, especially for use by young children. Connector elements, are formed with one or more rod-gripping sockets arranged radially with respect to a hub. The sockets are open at opposite sides, enabling lateral insertion and removal of rods. The connector elements, which are relatively large for easy handling by small children, are formed of a soft and pliant plastic material, to facilitate assembly and disassembly of rods with the connector elements by small hands. The rods generally are formed of a plastic material harder and stiffer than the connector material to accommodate easy handling of the rods during assembly and disassembly and to provide adequate strength in an assembled structure. The rods include enlarged, generally cylindrical end portions and adjacent neck portions of reduced diameter. The connector sockets include inner portions, configured to receive and closely confine the rod end portions, and outer portions arranged to receive and snuggly grip the rod neck portions, such that rods are held in axial alignment with the connector sockets.

A safety plate assembly that can be easily assembled to a conventional electric outlet using standard mounting methods. The safety plate assembly has openings for accommodating standard electric outlets. The assembly includes a cover plate with parallel guides. A slidable shutter slides along the parallel guides to cover and uncover the live openings of an electric outlet. The shutter has prongs that hold an electric plug into the electric outlet so the plug cannot be unintentionally removed. The assembly has locks on opposite sides of the slidable shutter, so that the small hand of a toddler cannot unlock both locks at the same time. The shutter can be locked into an open, closed, or holding position.

Heat is removed from a small hand-held portable computer by dissipating the heat from surfaces that are not typically held by the user during hand-held operation. The heat is dissipated from fins located at a rear underside casing of the portable computer. Heat-generating internal electronic components or their heat sinks are placed in close proximity to the fins. Heat may also be dissipated from the backside of the display screen. The dissipation of the heat allows the portable computer to operate at higher frequencies.

This invention discloses a method of building concrete walls, columns and other vertical or sloped structures using a vertically oriented vibrating screed and utilization of the thixotropic properties of wet concrete. The vertical screed is a simple, inexpensive and highly flexible apparatus that may be used for a wide variety of applications that involve the applying of cementicious material in the construction of a vertical structure. By using highly thixotropic concrete, the vertical screed is able to place concrete and other cementicious materials in a vertical plane much like concrete is placed with vibrating screeds in the horizontal plane. The vertical screed's applications range from applying a thin cementicious coating to placing concrete in a vertical plane to construct a wall or column. The various configurations of the vertical screed range from a small hand held device to a much larger mechanically controlled apparatus.

An improved PVC cutting and gripping tool includes a ratcheting shear blade for cutting pipe. The tool incorporates a set of offset gripping teeth in the handles. The offset gripping teeth are spaced apart to allow a user to securely grip the screw on cap of a metal PVC primer or cement container while the tool's handles are almost fully closed. The ability to grip a container cap with the tool's handles almost completely closed gives the user great leverage to open the container and allows a user with small hands to effectively use the tool. The tool also incorporates a set of inner gripping teeth in the handles that may be used to grip and turn a pipe or other object.

An electronic chronograph watch (1) with an analogue display wherein the measured times are displayed on small dials (5, 6, 7) located on the periphery of the main dial (2). The measured times are displayed by small hands (8, 9, 10) each driven by a motor. The watch (1) includes a stem-crown (11) used to adjust the position of the hands (3, 4) indicating the current time via conventional mechanical means. The watch further includes at least two push-buttons (12, 13) which, when manipulated, allow access to all the functions of the chronograph part, including the function of adjusting the rest position of the chronograph hands (8, 9, 10).

A novel forward grip combines the advantages of a forward grip with the stabilization capabilities of a bi-pod into a single shooting accessory for the modern tactical law enforcement or military operator. When the grip is used to stabilize the fore end of the weapon, it prevents the weapon from slipping and sliding due to recoil. The grip also provides relief to the shooter's grip while under stress by compressing and conforming to the shooter's hand. Reduction of the movement of the shooter's sight picture is also provided by reducing the negative effects from weapon recoil. The grip includes a primary finger grip located on the outer perimeter of the grip to allow shooters with large hands to grip the rifle. A secondary finger grip pocket is also provided in the interior section to conform better for shooters with smaller hands. The grip is made from flexible rubber to allow it to conform to against a wide variety of shapes to provide a stable shooting platform without the need to change out to a bi-pod. The secondary finger grip may also be used to hang the rifle on a post when not in use. The grip may be mounted to the standard Picatinny rail and includes two hard locking points. The grip not only stabilizes the weapon's fore end, eliminating the need for a bi-pod, but also conforms to difficult shooting platforms that prior art hard plastic forward grips cannot accommodate.

An ergonomic system for placing primary inputs on the back, bottom, or sides of an electronic device. By way of example, the system places two primary inputs at each finger position and makes use of a ‘dual-subset’ chordal keyboard input design that effectively doubles the number of available inputs. The result is a system in which the operator's fingers never need to move from their positions on the backside of the device yet the operator can instantly access character / function sets as large as a complete alphabet, allowing for rapid typing speed and extensive device control, even on a small hand-held electronic device.
