| 20090157515 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING SALES, PURCHASES AND DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS - A tracking system for monitoring, controlling, and restricting the sale of alcoholic beverages based upon parameters independent of users, and further restricting sales based upon scans of a patron's ID, with data entered into a database, and continuously tallies of the number of alcoholic beverages the patron bought at the venue within a specific period of time. Restrictions stemming from regulatory or administrative bases are entered into the system, and the system then frequently canvasses selected sources and determines if any of the restrictions have been triggered. If triggered, sales across all sales venues are appropriately restricted. In addition, the system issues one. or more warning to the user/server when the patron approaches the maximum limit or restrictions are triggered. The system can also monitor various zones of a venue to determine if the patrons within any of the zones are drinking excessively. If they are, alcohol dispensing is stopped at the zone, or, alternatively, throughout the venue. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090198263 | DEVICE FOR PERFORMING SURGERY - A scalpel for performing complex surgeries, such as c-sections, is formed of a body that is preferably elongated and shaped and sized to fit ergonomically into the hands of surgeons. The body has surfaces that are joined to each other by smooth transition elements to insure that the body has no points or sharp edges that could cut or scratch the surgeon or the patient. The body is formed with a triangular notch formed of a beak and an extension. A surgical blade, preferably a standard off-the-shelf surgical blade, is imbedded in the body and the only portion of the blade that is accessible is a portion of its cutting edge spanning the notch. The scalpel is used by introducing the beak into a slit in the tissue with the blade portion facing the direction in which the cut is to be made. The body of the scalpel is then grasped firmly and advanced to make the cut. The initial incision can be made with the tip of the beak. | 08-06-2009 |
