Abstract: Hearing aid devices, methods of manufacture, methods of use, and kits are provided. In certain aspects, the hearing aid devices comprise an apparatus having a transducer and a retention structure comprising a shape profile corresponding to a tissue of the user, and a layer of elastomer.

Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on the identification of novel methods for defining predictive biomarkers of response to anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods useful for resource-constraint scheduling using visual representations on a graphical user interface to build one or more schedules across a business network, where the schedules are dynamically reconfigured based off real-time changes to resource availability, constraints and requirements that must be satisfied, where interactions by the user with the schedule at the user interface cause the dynamic, real-time recalculation of possible appointments meeting the constraints, after which a schedule is reconfigured and displayed at the user interface.

Abstract: Protective drain covers, include stiffening members at one end or at opposing ends to increase rigidity in one direction while leaving the other direction flexible. The increased rigidity in the one direction improves the ability to handle and accurately position the protective drain cover for use, while the flexibility in the other direction allows the protective drain cover to be rolled up for storage and future use. The stiffening member(s) can be used as hand-holds to assist in the placement of the heavy protective drain cover and then removal of protective drain cover after use.

Abstract: A system and method for linking home health agencies and health care providers over a network can comprise the steps of storing a home health agency (HHA) profile, storing a plurality of healthcare provider (HCP) profiles, and receiving and storing a job record within a data store. The HHA profile can be accessible by an HHA via a server. Each of the HCP profiles can be associated with an HCP. The job record can be created by the HHA logged in to the HHA profile. The step can comprise displaying on a map an icon related to the job record. The icon can be visible to a first HCP logged into a first HCP profile of the plurality of HCP profiles. The step can also comprise displaying, at least a portion of the job record and an option to accept responsibility for the treatment request. Additionally, the step can comprise transmitting to a second HCP a second option to accept responsibility for said treatment request.

Abstract: Protective drain covers are disclosed, including stiffening members at one end or at opposing ends to increase rigidity in one direction while leaving the other direction flexible. The increase rigidity in the one direction improves the ability to handle and accurately position the protective drain cover for use, while the flexibility in the other direction allows the protective drain cover to be rolled up for storage and future use. The stiffening member(s) can be used as hand-holds to assist in the placement of the heavy protective drain cover and then removal of protective drain cover after use.

Abstract: Compressible fluid-impermeable berm devices that self-adhere to surfaces such as ground, pavement and floors are disclosed. The compressible containment berm devices include one or more compressible containment wall sections formed from a flexible shell and a compressible filler material. A pre-applied adhesive layer at least partially covers the underside of each compressible containment wall, and is used to adhere and seal the containment wall to the containment surface. Corner joints may be used to connect the compressible containment wall sections together to thereby form the berm devices with a closed perimeter that contains leaks and spills. The compressible fluid-permeable berm devices can be easily removed or repositioned after use leaving little or no adhesive residue.

Abstract: A device for facilitating movement of a user between upright and seated positions relative to a piece of furniture such as a couch is disclosed. The device includes at least one portion to be gripped by the user and at least two stabilizing the device under the furniture cushions during operation thereof.

Abstract: A system and method uses seller and item filters to identify items listed on a network based transaction facility that are qualified for a network based elite transaction facility.

Abstract: A liquid collection apparatus includes a flexible frame configured to lie substantially in a plane when the apparatus is deployed, the frame being flexible in directions that are substantially in the plane and rigid in directions that are substantially perpendicular to the plane; a flexible barrier material connected to the frame; a drain in the flexible barrier material; and a plurality of openings positioned at spaced locations adjacent to the frame.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to process listing data in a network-based commerce system, for example, a network-based auction facility. The method may comprise providing a user with a graphic user interface to enter listing data in the network-based commerce system, the listing data including at least one entered word. A database including a plurality of reference words that relate to listings provided by the network-based commerce system may then be investigated. If at least one entered word is misspelled, the method may include identifying at least one suggested word from the plurality of reference words and communicating the at least one suggested word to the user. In one embodiment, the reference words include words frequently misspelled and the at least one suggested word is the correct spelling of the word. The at least one suggested word may be associated with at least one category associated with a listing.

Abstract: The invention includes an absorbent mat including an absorbent layer having a first surface and an opposing second surface and an adhesive layer on at least a portion of the first surface of the absorbent layer. The opposing second surface is structured and arranged such that the adhesive layer is releasably adhereable with the second surface.

Abstract: The invention includes a hand-moldable fluid channeling device having a malleable metal sheet layer, a flexible polymeric material layer and a flexible adhesive layer positioned between and adjoining the malleable metal sheet layer and the flexible polymeric material layer. The invention also includes a hand-moldable fluid channeling device having a malleable metal sheet layer and a flexible polymeric material layer bonded to the malleable metal sheet layer.
