The personal growth system may communicate applicable guided experiences to the endpoint based on the first user input. The instructions of the guided experiences may specify an act intended to generate a result. The personal growth program may be further operable to generate, for the user in the display area, a second information request and to obtain second user input relating to the result. An account database in the personal growth system stores a growth interaction history of the user, which may include the first user input, the selected guided experience, and the second user input relating to the result of the selected guided experience. | 04-05-2012 |
20120084649 | Journal System - A journal system for promoting a person's personal growth and a method of guiding journal entries are provided. The journal system includes a journal page configured to receive entries from a user and a plurality of repositionable guides. Each repositionable guide of the journal system includes a different intention to assist the user in making an entry on the journal page. The repositionable guides are individually positionable on the journal to provide the intention. The journal system also includes a storage location for the plurality of repositionable guides. The storage location is separate from the journal page so that the plurality of repositionable guides are not viewable on the journal page until the selected one of the plurality of repositionable guides is positioned on the page by the user. | 04-05-2012 |

20130189868 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS - The present invention provides an electrical raft comprising a rigid material having multiple electrical conductors embedded therein. The electrical raft comprises an electrical connector having a first set of electrical contacts connected to at least one of the electrical conductors, a second set of electrical contacts for electrical connection to another component, and a housing having a first end and a second end. The first set of electrical contacts is at the first end and the second set of electrical contacts is at the second end. The first end of the housing is at least partly embedded in the rigid material, and the second end of the housing is accessible from outside the electrical raft, allowing the electrical raft to be electrically connected to said other component. The electrical connector has a back-shell which sealingly encloses the first end of the housing to prevent ingress of contaminants into the connector. | 07-25-2013 |
20140208712 | COMPONENT HAVING A HEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM - A component having a heat protection system is provided. The heat protection system includes an intumescent coating which extends over a surface of the component. The heat protection system further includes a heat resistant wrapping which covers the coating on the component. The wrapping is expandable when the coating intumesces to maintain the wrapping's coverage of the coating. | 07-31-2014 |
20140325994 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS - An electrical raft is provided comprising a rigid material having multiple electrical conductors embedded therein. An electrical connector is provided to the raft that has a back-shell which is embedded in the rigid material and which joins to a connector body to enclose a first end of a housing of the connector body. The housing also has a second end at which electrical contacts are provided for connection to another component. The connector body is detachable from the back-shell to electrically disconnect it from the embedded electrical conductors and allow removal of the connector body from the electrical raft. In this way, the connector body may be readily removed, for example for upgrade or repair, whilst retaining a robust and reliable connection. | 11-06-2014 |
20160096288 | TOOLING PRODUCTION METHOD - A method is provided of producing a tooling to be used for manufacturing a rigid panel formed of polymer matrix composite material. The panel is for attachment to a gas turbine engine and has a curved shape which allows the panel to be wrapped around at least a part of a circumference of the engine. The panel has plural electrical conductors and/or fluid passages embedded therein. The tooling is either a mould against which the polymer matrix composite material can be moulded to manufacture the panel, or a pattern from which such a mould can be formed. The method includes: providing a plurality of separate tooling segments, each of which corresponds to a respective region of the curved shape of the panel; and joining the tooling segments together to produce the tooling. | 04-07-2016 |

20110202035 | Syringe Assemblies Having Detachable Needle Assemblies and Low Dead Space - The present invention is directed to syringe assemblies comprising detachable needle assemblies, that are configured in such a manner as to minimize the dead space after deployment of the syringe piston and injection of the material in the syringe into a patient's body, as well as with bevel indicators that provide guidance as to optimal angles at which to inject the needles into patients. | 08-18-2011 |
20130042425 | Applicator and Bucket for Cleaning Pads - An applicator for use in cleaning surfaces, comprising: a bottom surface; a handle disposed above the bottom surface; means for releasably attaching a pad to the bottom surface; and an actuator, accessible from the handle, for actuating the means for releasably attaching the pad to the bottom surface. The means for releasably attaching preferably has a plurality of feet which move between a first position within the applicator to a second position outside the applicator. When the feet are in the second position they can contact a cleaning pad. The feet include means (such as a hook-and-loop fastener) for gripping the cleaning pad, so that when the feet are in the second position, which is the at-rest position, they grip the cleaning pad. When the feet are moved to the first position, they release the pad, allowing for the disposal thereof without having to touch the soiled pad. | 02-21-2013 |
