Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110195804L-SCREEN FOR PROTECTING A PITCHER - An L-screen for protecting a pitcher during batting practice is disclosed. The L-screen may include a plurality of panel frames configured to be interrelated with one another so as to form an L-shape. A solid protection panel may be mounted within each of the panel frames. The protection panel may be transparent so as to provide an unobstructed view through the protection panel and may have adequate strength to withstand the impact of a baseball hit by a batter. Additionally, the L-screen may include support structure mounted to and configured to support the L-screen.08-11-2011

20080300835METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE EFFICIENT CALCULATION OF UNSTEADY PROCESSES ON ARBITRARY SPACE-TIME DOMAINS - The Space-Time Mapping Analysis (STMA) method and system provides an engineering method and/or system for modeling and/or analyzing and/or designing and/or building and/or operating complex physical processes, components, devices, and phenomena. STMA can be used in a way for modifying and/or improving the design of many different products, components, processes, and devices, for example. Any physical system, whether existing or proposed, which exhibits, for example, unsteady flow phenomena, might be modeled by the STMA. Thus, STMA can be implemented as a part of an engineering system for design improvements and/or modifications and/or evaluations. The STMA system and/or method uses a space-time mapping technique wherein the space and time directions are treated in an equivalent way, such that, rather than solving a three-dimensional unsteady problem by sweeping in the time direction from an initial point in time to a final point in time, the problem is solved as a four-dimensional problem in space-time.12-04-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080293030METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OFFERING EDUCATIONAL COURSES OVER A NETWORK - A software and/or hardware facility for enabling an institution to construct educational courses that may be delivered over a network is disclosed herein. The facility simplifies the construction of courses by allowing course materials to be reused and tailored on an institution-by-institution basis. Institutions may select an existing course and modify the existing course by adding, deleting, or modifying course content, sequencing, assignments, test materials, gating events, and/or course parameters. Once constructed by an institution, the course may be added to the institution's course catalog for delivery over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. In some embodiments a student is allowed to enroll in and complete a course at their own pace.11-27-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080295258Carpet Dyeing Systems and Methods - Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for “dye-to-order” carpet manufacturing that address deficiencies in the carpet manufacturing industry, some of which are discussed above. In one embodiment, an improved manufacturing system is provided that allows manufacturers to change colors “on the fly” (e.g., within a single roll) with minimal waste. In another embodiment, a dye-to-order processing system is provided that maps multiple orders to undyed carpet rolls such that usage of the undyed carpet rolls is optimized.12-04-2008
