Filed: 2004-09-30
Abstract: A portable heater (A) adapted for use in a recreational enclosure or temporary work enclosure includes a housing (10) having an air inlet (40) on the lower front face. A  gas supply (50) is at least partially enclosed by the housing which provides propane to the mouth (64) of a burner venturi (60) located within the housing. Air is drawn through the air inlet and also enters the mouth of the burner venturi. The air and gas are mixed thoroughly as they travel upwardly through the burner venturi. A chimney effect increases fresh air flow velocity into the burner venturi and allows the heater to operate at a reduced fuel gas pressure. Upon exiting the burner venturi, the air/gas mixture is to a plenum (72) and radiant surface (70) where combustion takes place.

Title: Depository-based security trading system
Inventor: CAHN ROBERT S
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2011-02-17
Abstract: A system for protecting individuals (including institutions) involved in securities transactions has been created that utilizes an "independent" depository as an intermediary between a security owner and a brokerage firm. The inclusion of a depository is considered to protect the security owner from untoward actions on the part of the brokerage firm. The depository is used to "hold" the securities behalf of the owner. The security owners and brokerage firms must be registered with the depository and maintain accounts with the depository. All transactions involving the securities are still performed by the broker, but the requests are transmitted from the security owner to the depository, and the depository then relays messages regarding the transactions to the broker. Thus, the securities are only in the possession of the broker on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
