| 20090197228 | DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR COLLISION REPAIR COACHING - A system for on-site collection of evaluation data at a vehicle repair installation site is disclosed. Generally the system includes a computing tool connected to a database, a workflow operations guiding module that runs on the computing tool, an evaluation module, a comparison module, a data-mining module, a certification module, a legal compliance module, and a repair procedure compliance module. As a vehicle is repaired, the workflow operations guiding module prompts a coach with questions. The evaluation module performs a quantitative analysis of the answers provided by the coach and the comparison module compares the result of the quantitative analysis against aggregated or averaged information. The certification module compares information from the comparison module against predetermined certification criteria and the data mining module identifies correlations, trends or patterns in collected data by the system. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20100262785 | Method and System for an Extensible Caching Framework - Systems and methods which provide an extensible caching framework are disclosed. These systems and methods may provide a caching framework which can evaluate individual parameters of a request for a particular piece of content. Modules capable of evaluating individual parameters of an incoming request may be added and removed from this framework. When a request for content is received, parameters of the request can be evaluated by the framework and a cache searched for responsive content based upon this evaluation. If responsive content is not found in the cache, responsive content can be generated and stored in the cache along with associated metadata and a signature formed by the caching framework. This signature may aid in locating this content when a request for similar content is next received. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20090304547 | PORTABLE ANALYTICAL DEVICE - A portable analytical device is provided for analysis of a component of a body fluid. A measuring facility within the device may carry out the analysis on a test element inserted therein. The test element may contain a reagent that reacts with a liquid sample of the body fluid when the test element is contacted thereby to produce a change that is characteristic of the analysis. A processor may process measuring values determined by the measuring facility to yield analytical measuring data taking into account calibration values. A standardized, wire-based computer interface may be provided on the analytical device via which the analytical device can be operated by a computer, the analytical measuring data can be transmitted from the analytical device to the computer, the analytical device can be supplied with electrical power by the computer, and the analytical device can provide software to be read-out by the computer. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20120096635 | SAFETY SWIMMING POOL DRAIN APPARATUS THAT PREVENTS THE ENTRAPMENT OF A PERSON - The drain apparatus of the present invention is designed and configured to prevent the entrapment of a person by the suction or vacuum forces of a drain in a swimming pool, spa, or any other large body of water with a recirculation system. The drain apparatus of the present invention has a spring biased plunger that immediately closes the drain of a swimming pool, spa, or any other large body of water when a substantial portion of the drain cover is blocked or restricted. By closing the drain, the drain apparatus of the present invention eliminates any vacuum or suction pressure at or underneath the drain cover that entraps a person thus allowing the person to break free easily and immediately without any time delays. | 04-26-2012 |

| 20100260371 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACOUSTO-HAPTIC SPEAKERS - The systems and methods described herein relate to, among other things, a transducer capable of producing acoustic and tactile stimulation. The transducer includes a rigid mass element disposed on the diaphragm of a speaker. The mass element may optionally be removable and may have a mass selected such that the resonant frequency of the transducer falls within the range of frequencies present in an input electrical audio signal. The systems and methods advantageously benefits from both the fidelity and audio performance of a full-range speaker while simultaneously producing high-fidelity, adjustable and palpable haptic vibrations. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20120035513 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HAPTIC SOUND - Systems and methods for applying vibration to the human body. A vibration system includes a vibrator capable of converting an electrical signal into vibration. In one aspect, the vibrator is arranged on or about the human body on a pectoralis major muscle and spaced away from a sternum. In another aspect, the vibrator is arranged on or about the human body such that a first pattern of vibrations are generated on the body's surface. The first pattern of vibrations matches in relative amplitude a second pattern of vibrations generated on the body's surface when the body generates sound. | 02-09-2012 |

| 20090019352 | Paradigm in multimedia services creation methodology, and new service creation and service execution environments - The present invention discloses a new paradigm in Multimedia Services Creation Methodology, and new Service Creation and Service Execution Environments, based on this methodology. A service designer can access the Service Creation Environment via a Web based Graphical User Interface (GUI), to design new service in an automated way. The design process includes creation of the Service Logic Script (SLS), and associated databases that are used for storage of service and subscriber related data. The service developer (user) assembles Language Graphical Objects (LGO) into Service Logic Script. LGOs are part of a new graphical language that has been developed to meet multimedia service creation needs. They represent service control and call control primitive functions that have to be performed, in order to provide a multimedia service to service subscribers. LGOs are independent of each other, they have attributes, and they pass a token to their next object(s) at certain points, as determined by their internal logic, during their execution. Therefore, several objects can be executing simultaneously at the same time. An object may change its internal state, including changing it to “in-active”, in reaction to some of the events it may receive from network and based on its internal logic. The service designer also defines service and user data as may be necessary to offer and execute the service. Data definitions are translated into database schema and the schema is used to create databases for service and subscriber information storage, and to generate Service Provisioning and Subscriber Tuning Forms. Subsequently, the service designer translates the service logic so defined, installs the results in a Service Execution Environment (SEE), and makes the service available for subscription and provisioning. A service manager provisions the service, and provides different service access authorization levels to the registered service subscribers. Service subscribers can fine-tune the service, and invoke it. | 01-15-2009 |
