| 20100175222 | Swivel Castor Braking System - A swivel castor assembly, includes a body having at least one rotatable wheel engageable with a floor or ground surface below the body, a brake actuable to brake or prevent rotation of the wheel, and an element for mounting the body such that it is able to swivel about a generally upright axis. A head is adapted to be mounted to prevent or restrict its rotation about the upright axis. A brake activator is mounted to the head for movement between a braking position in which it activates the brake, a neutral position in which the brake is inactive and the body is not prevented from swivelling about the upright axis, and a direction-lock position in which the body may be swivelled to one of plural selectable orientations with respect to the head at each of which the body is locked against swivelling but the brake is inactive. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20110313784 | HEALTHCARE INFORMATION COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A healthcare information communication system is configured to send automated messages to patients of a medical practice based, at least in part, on data stored on a practice management system. Integration between components of the healthcare information communication system and the practice management system including a health information management system and a billing management system facilitate patient visits to a medical practice by reducing the burden on medical practice personnel to collect all information from patients during visits to the medical practice. Automated messaging and reminder of appointments based on information stored in the practice management system reduce the amount of revenue lost by a medical practice due to last minute cancellations, no-shows at the medical practice, and uncollected outstanding bills. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20120077173 | SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING ASSESSMENT WITHOUT TESTING - A system for educational assessment without testing is provided that includes one or more client systems that are connected to a network allowing students or school officials to communicate with an education framework that performs and manages educational assessment. The one or more client systems issue a message to the education framework requesting a task to be performed. The educational assessment is administered independent of one or more educators so as to avoid interruption of instruction time. A server system receives the message and the education framework proceeds to process the contents of the message. The education framework includes a plurality of programming modules being executed on the server system that provides to educators specific information used for the educational assessment based on the contents of the message. The programming modules assist in calculating and determining one or more parameters for the educational assessment of the students as well as providing specific reports to educators as to the progress of the students. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20120056352 | Method for Stabilizing Strip During Winding - A method is disclosed for winding a composite strip onto a spool having a hub in which the strip includes a plurality of laterally spaced apart lengthwise extending rib portions upstanding from the base portion. The method comprises the steps of feeding the strip towards the hub of the spool; driving the fed strip through a roller set so as to plastically deform the strip to give it a curved base portion; and winding the deformed strip onto the hub to form spooled strip, the winding creating tension in the strip. The plastic deformation of the strip through the roller set substantially reduces the tension in the strip that would otherwise occur. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20120015338 | Active Cutaneous Technology - Active cutaneous technology to emulate the cutaneous characteristics of skin in medical training and other applications. Skin color changes are implemented with paint-on, electrically tunable, reflecting material that can conform to a mold, such as a manikin body or consumer product, and will enable the device to simulate skin. For example, skin colors associated with bruises, blue skin or cyanosis, redness from carbon monoxide poisoning or over radiation, and yellow skin from jaundice. Skin texture changes (e.g., goosebumps, rashes, and poxes) are established using tunable topological polymer films that grow in predetermined directions. Hair-raising, or piloerections, are accomplished with polymer-MEMS with varying thermal expansion coefficients on either side of a hair fiber due to ansiotropic molecular alignment. These technologies are integrated, addressable and programmable through a control system. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20110262889 | DEVICE FOR PROMOTING LEARNING OF SKILLS AND CONCEPTS AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A method and apparatus for encouraging a student to continue practicing skills until mastery of the skills is achieved. The method and apparatus present assigned exercises sequentially to a student, and evaluates the student's response. An assignment comprising a finite number of questions, a maximum number of attempts to answer each of the finite number of questions, and a required minimum number of correct answers to the finite number of questions is designed for a user. A learning device presents the user with a question from the finite number of questions that has not been attempted by the user. If the user supplies an incorrect answer to the question, the user chooses to either accept the incorrect answer, or to repeat an attempt to answer the question with new parameters. If the maximum number of attempts to answer the question is not exhausted, the learning device supplies new parameters to the question and presents the question with new parameters to the user, and the learning device reduces the available maximum number attempts to answer the question by one. | 10-27-2011 |
