| 20100268122 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF REDUCING RISK AND/OR SEVERITY OF PRESSURE ULCERS - A pressure monitoring method and system for warning a patient or caregiver that soft tissue pressure has exceeded some predetermined level that over time would necessitate moving the patient to minimize or prevent soft tissue damage. The method and system entail the use of a pressure-sensitive pad assembly adapted to be applied to a surface of the patient's body and generate electrical outputs corresponding to soft tissue pressure sensed at the surface. The system monitors the electrical outputs over a preselected time period and generates a cumulative output signal based on the electrical outputs and corresponding to whether or not the soft tissue pressure has exceeded a predetermined pressure level during the preselected time period. The system generates audible and visual warnings if the cumulative output signal exceeds a predetermined cumulative threshold until the soft tissue pressure drops below the predetermined pressure level. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110054376 | METHOD AND COMPRESSION HOSE FOR RELIEVING HEEL PRESSURE - A compression hose adapted to be worn to cover at least the calf and foot of a leg of an individual, and a method for medically treating the individual with the compression hose. The compression hose includes connected leg and foot portions formed of an elastic fabric material and adapted to cover, respectively, the calf and foot of the individual. A heel opening is located between the leg and foot portions so as to be located in the compression hose to coincide with the heel of the leg of the individual. The heel opening has a perimeter defined by a stitch that limits stretching and expansion of the heel opening relative to stretching and expansion of the leg and foot portions of the compression hose. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110086561 | Flotation vest for body surfing - A sleeveless, torso-encircling vest having an open front to facilitate donning the vest useful for body surfing. Closures, for example a hook-and-loop fastening system, secure the two front portions of the vest to one another after the vest is in place on a wearer's body. Flotation material is placed only in a back panel of the vest to help properly orient a wearer while body surfing. The garment is lightweight, easy to put on, and streamlined in the water when on the wearer's body. The hook-and-loop closure system provides adjustability so that a single size vest properly fits a large range of body sizes. However, the vest may be provided in different sizes such as adult and child sizes. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20100076885 | CLEARING AND SETTLEMENT OF TRADES IN OVER THE COUNTER MARKETS - A post-trade settlement system matches trade tickets relating to trades executed on a trading system or by another means. Matched trades are novated by executing a trade for the volume and price of the matched trade between a first counterparty and the settlement system and an equal but opposite trade between the settlement system and the second counterparty to the trade. The positions of each counterparty are continuously netted. There is no physical settlement of the positions but profit and loss is transferred periodically. If physical settlement is required a notice of interest is sent and a counterparty identified. A settlement swap is then executed between the settlement system and the two counterparties to the physical settlement. The settlement swap moves the position to be settled physically from the settlement system to each of the counterparties whereupon the amount moved can be settled by a transfer from one counterparty to the other. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20110230210 | Wireless User Based Notification System - A group of wireless device users are notified of an event. A location data determination algorithm is provided to a wireless device, where the algorithm determines a frequency at which the device interacts with network elements to determine its location. The location data is stored in a notification server and used to identify a user at a specific location. When a governmental or commercial entity wishes to issue a notification, a message is provided to those users whose location is identified as being in an area defined by the entity. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20110055782 | PROXIMITY-AWARE CIRCUIT DESIGN METHOD - A method for proximity-aware circuit design where a set of layout constraint values that satisfy predetermined performance or yield goals is determined in accordance with a layout effect model. One of the layout constraint values is then selected as a constraint input to layout design, and a design layout is performed with the selected layout constraint value to provide a semiconductor circuit design for the semiconductor circuit. The set of layout constraint values can be determined by varying an instance parameter of the layout effect model to determine a set of instance parameters that satisfy the at least one predetermined performance or yield goal in accordance with the layout effect model, and determining layout constraints associated with each instance parameter of the set of instance parameters, thus providing a number of candidates in a design space that can be evaluated according to performance and/or yield tradeoffs. | 03-03-2011 |
