20100139123Transformable shoe with a sole that changes angles to orient to different height heels that can be detached or attached - A transformable shoe described wherein can transform into different heel heights. It is a shoe wherein the heel is detached or attached that transforms the shoe into heels of varying heights. The frame of the shoe contains two independent soles that are pivotally connected via a hinge. The two independent shoe soles will vary angles via the hinge upon attaching or detaching of the heel. Heels of varying heights can be attached to the bottom of the sole. The hinge connecting the two independent soles will rotate according to the height of the heels attached to the sole. The heel upon detachment from the shoe can be stowed by the person separately.06-10-2010

20120040774Floating Golf Ball - A golf ball includes an inner layer, a cover layer, and a cavity. The cavity includes a conduit connecting the cavity with an exterior of the golf ball. The cavity contains a matrix comprising particles of a first material bound together by a second material. The first material has a density greater than water and the second material is water soluble. Upon prolonged submersion in water, the matrix dissolves allowing the first material particles to exit the cavity. The removal of the mass of the first material particles lowers the density of the golf ball, allowing the golf ball to float to the surface of the water.02-16-2012

20100268572INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN A PRINT- PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT - An inventory management system for forecasting demand in a print production environment may include a computing device and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the computing device. The computer-readable storage medium may include programming instructions for updating a predictive model with intervention information comprising an anticipated demand value and a confidence value associated with the anticipated demand value. The predictive model may be associated with a demand distribution of a print-related service. The computer-readable storage medium may include programming instructions for generating a demand forecast associated with the print-related service by using the updated predictive model, using the generated demand forecast to compare a current inventory level associated with the print-related service to an anticipated inventory level associated with the demand forecast of the print-related service, and ordering additional inventory in response to the current inventory level being less than the anticipated inventory level.10-21-2010
