20100287036COMPUTER-AIDED METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ASSESSING AN ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESS OR SYSTEM - Method and apparatus for computer-aided assessment of organizational process or system. Method and apparatus are adapted to display questions on a computer to an assessor, who then inputs numerical and/or textual inputs relative to the assessor's perception of the process or system. Filtering techniques inhibit entry of unsupported numerical and/or textual inputs which may be untrue and/or exaggerated. Questions used in combination with additional questions provide more accurate assessment of the system or process, where the question combinations already exist in a database. Questions asked may be directed to one or more recognized standards, and duplicative questions from different standards may be omitted. Evaluations of collected information are performed and additional corrective action questions are asked to identify degrees of risk and areas of weakness of the process or system.11-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090131173Electronic elimination game system and method - A system and method for an elimination game is disclosed in which game points are stored by means of an “e-clip.” These points may represent, for example, simulated ammunition, “healing” points, charges or uses associated with a game item, and the like. The e-clip may be recharged by various means, each recharge being associated with a fee. An operator of a field where the game is played may thus efficiently generate revenue through use of the device to which the “e-clip” is associated.05-21-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100181457LIQUID HOLDING DEVICE WITH RELEASABLE SUCTION BASE - Generally, a liquid holding device with a releasable suction base is a mug or other container operable to hold a substance or device with an integral means for creating a secure suction force with a surface. More specifically, a component of the liquid holding device is not only operable to create a suction force, but the application of the suction force provides a means for stabilizing the device. Advantageously, once the liquid holding device is adhered to a surface via the suction mechanism component, the risk of accidental tipping of the device is greatly reduced. Further, an aspect of the present invention is a mechanism for the convenient creation and release of the stabilizing suction force. In some embodiments, the suction creation and release mechanism can be operated with a single hand. Advantageously, such an aspect provides a means for a user of the device to simply affect the stabilizing suction force when placing the liquid holding device adjacent to a smooth surface as well as conveniently release the suction force when movement of the device is desired.07-22-2010
