| 20110079405 | Agricultural Implement Walking Beam Assembly - An implement wheel assembly includes two individual wheel arms tied together by a linkage that pivots about a fore-and-aft extending axis at a location above the wheels and generally above the plane of the implement frame. The linkage constrains the wheel arms to pivot in opposite vertical directions as the implement moves over irregular ground surfaces to improve weight distribution on the wheels. Spring structure may be interposed between the ends of a pivoting linkage and the individual wheel arms to lower frame impact forces. The structure allows two wheels to be placed side-by-side with their axes generally aligned and reduces under-frame hardware to improve crop and soil and trash flow. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20090027211 | Electronic Swimmer Monitoring System - Electronic Tags are mounted on swimmers to reduce their risk of drowning by identifying when their heads are underwater for periods of time which may indicate a dangerous submersion situation, and for triggering corresponding alerts and alarms. In this method, each monitored person is equipped with a lightweight electronic Tag worn on the body that communicates with monitors that issue the alerts and alarms, including audible and visible distress signals. The monitors, in turn, communicate the alarms to receivers used by supervisory personnel, such as lifeguards or parents. The invention may be used in aquatic environments, such as public recreation facilities, pools, waterfronts, and water parks, as well as in more private settings, such as homes, apartment buildings or hotels. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20110148642 | Reliable Sensing of Nose and Mouth Immersion - Electronic Tags are mounted on swimmers to reduce their risk of drowning by identifying when their heads are underwater for periods of time which may indicate a dangerous submersion situation, and for triggering corresponding alerts and alarms. In this method, each monitored person is equipped with a lightweight electronic Tag worn on the head that communicates with monitors that issue the alerts and alarms, including audible and visible distress signals. The Tags comprise electrodes mounted on each side of a swimmer's head that close a circuit when said swimmer's nose or mouth is in the water. After a certain period of time, if the circuit is still closed, an alarm is sent to said monitors. The monitors, in turn, communicate the alarms to receivers used by supervisory personnel, such as lifeguards or parents. The invention may be used in aquatic environments, such as public recreation facilities, pools, waterfronts, and water parks, as well as in more private settings, such as homes, apartment buildings or hotels. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20120035977 | Enterprise Consumer Complaints Program - A method and system are provided for identifying, tracking and reporting customer complaints across multiple lines of business of an organization. Each line of business of the organization utilizes a system of record configured to identify an issue received from a customer as a “complaint” based on the same set of criteria and then collect data associated with the complaint. A centralized complaint portal of the organization extracts complaint data from each of the systems of record, processes the data to identify one or more lines of business and/or individuals responsible for or capable of handling the complaints, and routes the complaint data to the identified lines of business and/or individuals for resolution. The complaint portal also analyzes the extracted data to identify trends in the complaints, specific complaint escalations, stages of resolution for complaints, and other similar types of issues related to the complaints, and generates one or more summary reports based on the analyzed data. | 02-09-2012 |
