  • Patent number: 8718250
    Abstract: A billing data interface provides billing data to customers in an accurate and efficient manner. Billing data is processed to preserve client billing information and to meet a customer's individual data requirements. The billing data may be presented in such a way that the customer may input the billing data directly into its client billing system. The billing data may be processed according to client billing specifications corresponding to a client billing system used by the customer. The processed data may preserve leading zeros, separate client code and matter code into two fields, etc. The resulting data file may be delivered to the customer for entry into the customer's client billing system.

  • Publication number: 20080220887
    Abstract: Pool cue systems are disclosed which include at least one graphical icon on the pool cue shaft adapted to be observed within the shooter's peripheral vision while shooting pool. The icons are preferably aligned along the longitudinal axis of the pool cue shaft at predetermined distances indicative of game parameters, which are stroke lengths, bridge hand locations, and stroke speeds. The icons are adapted to enable easy peripheral observation of pool cue stick motion while shooting pool with the eyes focused on an object billiard ball. The icons may additionally be decorative. Methods of use, making, and doing business are integral to the pool cue systems.

  • Patent number: 6540445
    Abstract: A concrete silt fence constructed of a plurality of very thin, steel reinforced concrete panels that are aligned side by side and fixed in a trench in the ground to form a fence. Each of the panels is constructed of reinforcing steel bars and concrete. The steel bars are aligned parallel to each other and centered in the neutral axis of the panel. A steel bar is provided adjacent each of the two side walls of the panel to provide shear strength to the side edges of the panel, and one or more steel bars are provided between these two outside steel bars. A thin coating of concrete is poured around the reinforcing steel bars so that each pre-cast panel contains so little concrete that it does not satisfy the American Concrete Institute's standard for minimum concrete cover of reinforcement for pre-cast concrete wall panels that are exposed to earth or weather.
