| 20090248591 | GLOBAL INVESTMENT GRADE FOR NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC GEMS USED IN FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS AND COMMERCIAL TRADING AND METHOD OF CREATING STANDARDIZED BASKETS OF GEMS TO BE USED IN FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS - A process to create a fungible global standard for diamonds and gemstones. The process involves grouping diamonds in an investment standard according to their gemological, proportional, optical and light behavior characteristics. Diamonds that conform to the investment grade standard are interchangeable within a specific size range according to an equivalent monetary bundling process. Diamonds subjected to the standard conform to a holistic set of gemological, proportional, optical and light characteristic requirements that enables diamonds to be classified into a extraordinarily homogeneous, visually indistinguishable and highly fungible group which can be used to create baskets of diamonds to form an index/benchmark for diamond pricing, financial instruments, and a standard that can be used for certifying diamonds as investment grade to insure quality. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20080209473 | Method and Apparatus for Building an Electronic Program Guide Based on Channel Profiles - A method and apparatus for building an electronic programming guide based on statistical information about the history of broadcasted programs where the programming information is obtained on the basis of currently available schedule information and where a broadcast system spreads programming information across a plurality of transport streams. Each time a user changes a channel, a new transport stream potentially becomes available, and current scheduling information is taken from that stream to update a profile of programming for that particular stream. New programming information that is transmitted on other channels is stored whenever the user selects one of those channels. In this manner, an electronic programming guide is eventually built based on the programming information available on the channels accessed by the user. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20100017255 | Fee estimation tool - A system for generating proposals, managing projects and reporting is disclosed. The present invention allows the user to perform several important functions. First, the software aids the user in estimating costs for a proposal, based on the number of personnel who are anticipated to the employed in the proposed project. Based on this, the program will allow the user to calculate fees, based on hourly billable rates. Additionally, the program can track utilization of all individuals, departments and contractors to determine excessive idle time or overload situations. The software can also be used to enter and track all costs for the project, including billable hours, contractors, materials, etc. The software allows the user to save past proposals and projects for historical and analytical purposes. A database is created from which the user is able to review past proposals, specifically similar ones, in order to better prepare current and future proposals. | 01-21-2010 |
