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.

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.

A nipper is disclosed having lightweight handles which are ergonomically shaped narrowly to accommodate smaller hands or one-handed use, and biased outwardly by a torsion type spring which additionally limits the open handle width. The nipper utilizes carbide tool steel blades affixed with fasteners for easy replacement. The nipper has a friction reducing bushing at the pivot for ease of movement.

An adhesive film for rubber adhesive tips in which an adhesive coat is on the back surface of rubber or lambskin fabric, this surface is used for better gripping and/or releasing in athletic sports. It is used to increase the overall performance by 5 to 15%, while playing athletic sports. It surpasses the discomfort and dexterity of athletic gloves, giving the hand the freedom to breath as well as natural feeling of throwing or gripping.

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.
