20090024269 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY FOR AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE - Methods for determining the height, horizontal position, and lateral position of the centre of gravity of a vehicle are disclosed. The methods comprise constructing a plurality of models of vehicle behaviour, each model including a plurality of parameters that determine vehicle behaviour including parameters that define the position of the centre of gravity. The method then measures actual vehicle behaviour during operation of the vehicle. The actual behaviour and the behaviour predicted by the models are then compared to determine which of the models most effectively predicts behaviour of the vehicle. The model that is most effective in predicting the actual behaviour of the vehicle is then assumed to include amongst its parameters an estimate of the position of the centre of gravity of the vehicle. | 01-22-2009 |
20160042141 | INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS IN CARE MANAGEMENT - A method for a vulnerability analysis application is described. The method includes assembling a profile from a first vulnerability factor grouping from plurality of vulnerability factors with each vulnerability factor having a vulnerability factor value. The method also includes performing a probabilistic operation on the vulnerability factor values from the first vulnerability factor grouping to obtain a first probabilistic result. The method also includes performing a dynamic operation on the first probabilistic result from the probabilistic operation to obtain a first time to vulnerable state for the profile. The method also includes displaying the first time to vulnerable state for the profile. | 02-11-2016 |

20160140590 | MANAGING RESOURCE ACCESS USING MULTIPLE SERVICE CATEGORIES - In order to modulate consumer usage of service categories for accessing a resource, an electronic service menu is first transmitted by a computer system. The electronic service menu includes a cost indicator and a benefit indicator for each of the service categories. Subsequent to the transmission of the electronic service menu, consumer usage data about each of the service categories is tracked. The consumer usage data is then analyzed. Based on this analysis, the service capacity of at least one of the service categories is adjusted. Also based on the analysis, a revised electronic service menu is transmitted by the computer system. The revised electronic service menu includes at least one revised cost indicator and at least one revised benefit indicator. | 05-19-2016 |

20140274574 | EXERCISE APPARATUS COMPRISING ADJUSTABLE FOOT PADS AND RELATED METHODS - An exercise apparatus may comprise a frame, and first and second foot support members each comprising a central region mechanically constrained to follow an ovoid path. The exercise apparatus may further comprise first and second foot pads coupled to the respective first and second foot support members, and configured for selective rotation relative to the first and second foot support members. The exercise apparatus may further comprise first and second locking mechanisms positioned and configured to selectively lock the respective first and second foot pads in a first angular position and at least one second angular position relative to the respective first and second foot support members. | 09-18-2014 |

20130023389 | ADJUSTABLE RESISTANCE BASED EXERCISE APPARATUS - An exercise apparatus includes a frame, a resistance lever pivotably attached to the frame, a resistance engagement member moveably attached to the resistance lever, the resistance engagement member being positionable at a plurality of attachment points on the resistance lever, and a resistance element disposed adjacent to the resistance engagement member. The resistance element includes a deflection member having a first end and a second end, a first anchor attached to and positionally fixing the first end of the deflection member, and a second anchor attached to and positionally fixing the second end of the deflection member. When a force is input to the resistance lever, the resistance lever pivots about the pivot point and the resistance engagement member transversely engages the deflection member. The apparent resistance provided by the resistance element is adjusted by positionally adjusting the resistance engagement member along the attachment points relative to the anchors. | 01-24-2013 |
