20090283560 | Machine and process for personal, side mounted biomechanically engineered lifting device; a means of lifting awkward and heavy loads - The side-mounted, biomechanically designed lifting device maximizes the lifting capability of human anatomy. A harness with a shoulder pad crosses the user's body diagonally. The load is supported by an adjustable load strap at the user's side from a support ring attached to the harness. One end of the support strap is attached to the harness and the other to a lifting handle. With this device and method heavy and awkward loads like plywood and drywall may be carried and manipulated easily. The side-mounted lifting harness causes the user to lean away from the load. This transfers the weight of a load to a point near the ground, below the vertical center of gravity of the user and between the lifter's feet. There is significant biomechanical advantage to this load configuration. One person can carry heavy, awkward loads safely and quickly with a minimum of physical stress. | 11-19-2009 |

20160132906 | SURGE DETECTOR FOR CONTENT CONSUMPTION - A content consumption monitor (CCM) identifies events from a domain, a number of the events, content associated with the events, and a relevancy of the content to a topic. The CCM may generate a consumption score for the domain and topic based on the number of events and the relevancy of the content to the topic. The CCM may identify domain surges for the topic when the consumption score reaches a threshold. The CCM may adjust the consumption score based on the changes in the relevancy, number of events and/or the number of users over different time periods. The consumption scores not only identify companies interested in different topics but also identifies consumption surges that indicate when the companies are most receptive to direct contacts regarding those topics. | 05-12-2016 |

20080199950 | Enhanced Bio-Assays By Using Gradient Nanotopgraphy - ABSTRACT A system and method for using gradient nanotopography to increase mammalian cell attachment and cell confinement on surfaces. A surface platform consisting of a thin film of gold possessing a gradient of topography on the surface and self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols presenting desired functional groups is formed. A gradient in the chemical properties is induced in the terminal groups of the monolayer because of the continuous increase in the surface area and the anisotropy of gold film structure. The gradient nanotopraphy provides simultaneous control of two key properties, the presentation of the terminal functional groups and a continuous increase in the surface density of functional groups on the surface. This control provides for drug screening assays using adherent cell-based experiments. | 08-21-2008 |

20120137760 | RIDE HEIGHT GAUGE FOR RC CARS - A ride height gauge includes a chassis engaging member biased relative to a base member via springs. Lowering an RC car chassis onto the chassis engaging member causes the chassis engaging member to lower until the car's wheels touch a support surface on either side of the base member. The chassis engaging member's lowered position is displayed on measurement columns that measure the height of the chassis engaging member from the support surface, which can be used to determine the ride height of the vehicle. The measurement columns at opposite ends of the vehicle allow the user to simultaneously measure the ride height at either end of the vehicle without repositioning of the vehicle. | 06-07-2012 |
