Publication number: 20120284637Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for managing events scheduled by multiple users in a group, provides an event management platform (EMP) in communication with a client application on each user's computing device via a network. The EMP acquires characteristic information on each computing device and each user's third party calendar applications (TPCAs), and event information on the events. The EMP, in communication with the client application, generates and stores the events based on the event information. The EMP stores the events across a data store residing on each computing device external to the client application and/or the data stores of the TPCAs, using the acquired characteristic information and event information. The stored events are accessible to each user associated with the events for performing one or more actions that are tracked and automatically updated by the EMP. The EMP also notifies the availability of the users in the group.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2012Publication date: November 8, 2012Inventors: John Edward Boyer, Cynthia Smith Boyer

Patent number: 8257138Abstract: A bra to be worn during vigorous physical activity. It provides the wearer with a high level of breast tissue support without undue restriction of breathing or shoulder movement, while providing means for ventilation and moisture management. The bra is underwire-free, and designed to be worn as outerwear. The bra achieves these objectives through the innovative combination of various non-stretch and stretch fabrics. The non-stretch portions of the garment provide a high level of compression and stability to the breast tissue, while the multiple regions of stretch fabric minimize breathing and shoulder restrictions and provide ventilation. Non-stretch wicking fabric is used to form the majority of the body of the bra, and is used to pull the breast tissue in and hold it firmly to the chest. This non-stretch fabric is connected to panels of stretch wicking fabric located in the front and back of the body of the bra.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2010Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Inventor: Cynthia A Smith
