20130191115 | Methods and Systems for Transcribing or Transliterating to an Iconphonological Orthography - Described are methods of developing an iconographical, phonological, orthography for any spoken language. Such “iconophonological” orthographies can be applied to languages for which no written form exists, or can be used to supplement or replace extant writing systems. The iconicity of the orthographies represents features of the vocal tract, which limits the number of icons to easily learned sets. This simplification, and the phonological correspondence between the icons and spoken language, makes the orthographies easy to learn. The orthographies can use letters that represent the linguistic characteristics of the spoken language. By incorporation of cultural aesthetics, some embodiments bring a sense of ethnic belonging, and thus create an immediate emotional bond with the orthography. | 07-25-2013 |

20120298160 | WALKER FOR USE ON STAIRS - A walker which can be used on stairs as well as on a level surface. The walker has legs which are comprised of hydraulic cylinders with integral pistons. Each pair of legs is part of a frame. The walker is configured such that each frame provides that fluid can flow from one leg of the frame to the other. Because the fluid is generally incompressible and the amount of fluid in each frame is fixed, movement of one piston of the frame causes the other piston of the frame to move. As such, as one leg of the frame lengthens, the other leg of the frame automatically shortens in response, and vise versa. While the walker is configured such that the legs can be shortened and lengthened, preferably the walker is also configured such that the legs can be locked in place. | 11-29-2012 |
