Disclosed are apparatus and related methods of interchangeably securing (a) portable electronic devices or (b) portable electronic devices that are housed within protective cases to one more supports. In one embodiment, the apparatus may be a holster with a coupling means for removably securing the holster to a support (e.g., a clip, armband, or vehicle mount) that features cooperating coupling means. In another embodiment, the apparatus may be a protective case with a coupling means for removably securing the holster to a support that features cooperating coupling means.

Apparatus for improving the interchangeability of portable electronic devices amongst various supports and related methods

The present application is directed to a protective case for an electronic device including a first member and a second member operationally configured to house an electronic device therein; wherein the first member is operationally configured to direct sound waves to an inner surface of the second member; and wherein the second member is operationally configured to dictate travel of sound waves within the protective case.

A fried snack product which is extruded and shaped into a design. The dough is formed by combining (1) starch-based flour having a specific ratio of gelatinized to ungelatinized starch and an amount of protein, (2) a pregelled modified starch (3) water, (4) shortening or oil, (5) leavening, and (6) an emulsifier. The emulsifier keeps the integrity of the starch structure or dough rheology through the extrusion process.

An apparatus and method allowing a first communication distance between transmitter and receiver for substandard short range control of a vehicle security module, and a second communication distance between transmitter and receiver for standard long range control of the vehicle security module. In this manner, the receivers of numerous vehicles may be programmed all to respond to the same common code, and the short range control used to activate only the vehicle(s) immediately proximate a short range transmitter. Thereafter, the receiver of a selected vehicle may be programmed to respond to a unique code, and the long range control used to activate the receiver of the selected vehicle at a longer distance from a long range transmitter.

A method for deriving reservoir lithology and fluid content for a target location from pre-stack seismic reflection data. The method uses inversion of pre-stack seismic reflection data for both the target location and a calibration location having known subsurface lithology and fluid content to derive the subsurface lithology and fluid content at the target location. The inversion process is preferably a viscoelastic inversion to account for the effects of friction on seismic wave propagation. The results of the inversion process are a set of subsurface elastic parameters for both the target and calibration locations. Relative magnitudes of these subsurface elastic parameters are compared, together with the known subsurface lithology and fluid content at the calibration location, to derive the subsurface lithology and fluid content at the target location.

Disclosed is a process for pelletizing ultra high melt flow crystalline polymers to produce dust-free, uniform ultra high melt flow crystalline pellet products. The process comprises feeding polymer into melting/mixing means, resulting in molten polymer. The molten polymer is transferred to a droplet forming means that produces droplets of the molten polymer. The droplets collect on a continuously moving cooling conveyer and solidify to form dust-free, uniform ultra high melt flow crystalline polymer pellets. Further, the process produces ultra high melt flow crystalline polymer pellets which are uniformly compounded.
