  • Patent number: 10646043
    Abstract: The present invention is a moveable stool that includes a wheeled member having wheels, a stably support member and at least one flexible element. Stably support member is formed of a bottom cavity, a top flat surface for user to stand on and support element(s). When a user is not standing on top flat surface, then the wheels are free to move and stool is displaceable from one position to another. After the stool reaches at desired position and the user steps up on top flat surface, non-skid support element(s) connects with ground wheels of wheeled member are restricted from movement. Restricted movement of wheels prevents movement of stool on ground/floor. When user steps down from top flat surface, flexible element(s) retracts stably support member which raises support element(s) and disconnects contact between support element and ground. Wheels in contact with ground/floor are freed rendering stool again for portability.

  • Patent number: 6505245
    Abstract: A system and method for remotely controlling a set of computing devices on a computer network is described herein. The system can include: a plurality of computing devices connected to the computer network; an user interface that allows a plurality of users to manage the computing devices; a plurality of profiles, wherein each user has at least one associated profile; means for detecting events and sending notifications for such events; and a reporting mechanism. The reporting mechanism can include a means for logging all accesses an all actions to each computing device. The means for detecting events can include classifying the events by severity, and the notification sent can include the severity. The plurality of profiles can include each computing device the associated user can access. The plurality of profiles can also include a system administrator that has total control over the system and all computing devices.
