摘要： This document discusses, among other things, fiducial marker devices, tools, and methods. One example illustrates a combined computed tomography (CT) imageable fiducial locator head, an integral bone screw, and an integral divot for receiving a positioning wand of an image-guided surgical (IGS) workstation. A further example includes a fluid/gel-absorbing coating or cover into which a magnetic resonance (MR) imageable fluid is introduced, thereby permitting both CT and MR imaging. Protective caps and collars may be used to protect the fiducial marker from mechanical impact and/or to guide the fiducial marker during affixation. A bull's-eye or other template is used to select a center of a substantially spherical fiducial marker head on an image, such as for use during patient registration.

摘要： The invention is a method and apparatus for storing and communicating information between a customer and proprietor, enabling the proprietor to build a database of customer information and enabling the customer to build a database of information from businesses participating in the system of the invention. Customers provide information only to those proprietors they choose and automatically receive business contact information and other important information (including but not limited to store hours, special deals). Examples of the customer information to be stored by the business are contact information such as address and telephone information, shopping habits, amounts purchased, photographs, demographic data, date of initiation into the customer loyalty program, and the like. The invention enables the proprietor to analyze customer habits and communicate special offers or customer rewards to specific classes of customers. The customer utilizes a handheld personal information device to store personal information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, and other customer information. The personal information unit transmits said personal information to, and may receives information from, an information exchange unit upon entry of the customer onto the proprietor's business premises. Customer personal information and shopping metrics are recorded in a relational database. The business proprietor establishes reward criteria specific to his business and utilizes the system of the invention to analyze customer shopping habits, demographic information, and geographic information; and the system of the invention is furthermore used to reward customer loyalty.

摘要： The operating rod of an automotive door lock is provided with a connector member which, in turn, is engaged by a knob having a cavity to receive the connector member. The outside dimensions of the knob are larger than the aperture in the casing, thus preventing the knob from being depressed. The cavity in the knob is sufficiently large to permit the connector member and thus, the rod, to be in its advanced, or unlocked position, while remaining entirely within the knob. This arrangement permits one to pull upwardly on the knob thereby unlocking the door, but prevents one from manually depressing the knob or the connector member and thus, the rod, to thereby lock the door. A car key, however, can be inserted through the top of the cavity to urge the connector member and the rod to the retracted, locked position.
摘要翻译：汽车门锁的操作杆设置有连接器构件，该连接器构件又由具有腔的旋钮接合以接收连接器构件。旋钮的外部尺寸大于壳体中的孔，因此防止旋钮被压下。旋钮中的空腔足够大，以允许连接器构件以及因此的杆处于其先进或解锁位置，同时完全保持在旋钮内。这种布置允许一个在旋钮上向上拉动，从而解锁门，但是防止手动地按压旋钮或连接器构件，从而锁定该杆，从而锁定门。然而，轿厢钥匙可以穿过空腔的顶部插入，以将连接器构件和杆推到缩回的锁定位置。

摘要： A method and system for collecting information on advertisers, products, and/or services of interest to a consumer. The present invention provides a bridge between the physical world and the virtual world that is beneficial to both consumers and advertisers. When a consumer participating in a consumer loyalty system is exposed to an advertisement of interest containing an alphanumeric identifier of the present invention, the consumer may send an initiation message to the alphanumeric identifier and thereafter the consumer's profile within the consumer loyalty system is mapped or linked to the profile of the participating advertiser. Such alphanumeric identifiers may be incorporated into all forms of known advertising media. The present invention provides a method and system for a consumer to easily bookmark a specific advertiser, product, and/or service for later review without having to write down or memorize a URL address or any other contact information.

摘要： An interface with a point of sale (POS) system at a place of business, and more specifically, an interface that is external to the POS software and capable of interfacing disparate POS systems. A point of sale specific interface (POSSI), which functions to bidirectionally translate POS system specific data that is communicated from the existing POS system database into generic transaction/update upload bundles that are communicated to the business server software (BSS). Having bidirectional translating capability, the POSSI may provide communications between a central subsystem database of a consumer loyalty system, accessible via the BSS and an internet connection, and disparate pre-existing POS systems at various places of business. Acting as a go-between, the POSSI communicates with the BSS by means of a generic interface, while the POSSI communicates with disparate POS systems by means of a system specific interface.
摘要翻译：具有在营业场所的销售点（POS）系统的接口，更具体地说，在POS软件外部的界面，并且能够连接不同的POS系统。销售点专用接口（POSSI），其功能是将从现有POS系统数据库传送的POS系统特定数据双向转换为通信到业务服务器软件（BSS）的通用交易/更新上传束。具有双向翻译能力，POSSI可以提供消费者忠诚度系统的中央子系统数据库之间的通信，可通过BSS访问和互联网连接，以及在各个营业地点的不同的先前存在的POS系统。 POSSI作为中间站，通过通用接口与BSS进行通信，POSSI通过系统特定的接口与不同的POS系统进行通信。

摘要： A squirrel-resistant bird feeder includes an inner seed-containing cylinder having a central upwardly-extending rod for mounting on a support and side openings for providing bird access to the seed. A hollow cylinder having a top surface with a central opening from about which a central hollow baffle depends controls seed levels while passing seed to lower dispensers. A relatively-movable outer cylinder guards the inner seed-containing cylinder and has side openings which align with the inner cylinder side openings when in its normal or home position to which it is urged by a tension spring. A squirrel alighting on the bird feeder moves the outer cylinder relative to the inner one against the tension of a spring to where their side openings are nonaligned to preclude squirrel access to the inner cylinder seed. A pin and slot arrangement insures opening aligment in the home position. The outer cylinder is formed of gnaw resistant materials. A small hole in an outer cylinder end cap passes the rod to limit swinging action of the bird feeder and help guide relative movement between the cylinders. Aligned magnets on the inner and outer cylinders help hold the outer cylinder in the normal or home position.
摘要翻译：耐鼠型饲养机包括内含种子的圆筒，其具有用于安装在支撑件上的中心向上延伸的杆，以及用于提供鸟类进入种子的侧面开口。具有顶表面的中空圆柱体具有中央开口，中心中空挡板所依赖的中心开口在该位置上控制种子浓度，同时将种子传送到下分配器。相对移动的外筒保持内含种子的圆筒，并且具有侧面开口，当其处于其被拉伸弹簧所推动的正常或原始位置时，该开口与内筒侧开口对齐。在鸟饲养机上下来的松鼠相对于内侧的松动物移动，抵抗弹簧的张力，使得其外侧圆柱体的侧面开口不对准，以排除松鼠进入内筒种子。销和插槽布置确保了起始位置的开启分配。外筒由防蛀材料形成。外筒端盖中的一个小孔通过杆来限制进给器的摆动动作，并有助于引导气缸之间的相对运动。内筒和外筒上的对准磁体有助于将外筒保持在正常位置或原位。
