  • Publication number: 20070214396
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for providing round-trip resolution to customer error reports (CERs). This improves on CERs in supporting quality assurance for software systems by providing appropriate responses to the customers. The result is a novel technique for improving software quality and customer satisfaction.

  • Patent number: 6231497
    Abstract: The present invention is a magnetic therapeutic device which subjects a treatment area such as an anatomical area or plant to a dynamic magnetic field having an amplitude of at least a half waveform. To subject the treatment area to such a dynamic magnetic field, the magnetic source may be rotated, oscillated, moved through a particular pattern, or otherwise moved relative to the treatment area. Each embodiment of the present invention includes at least one permanent magnet contained within a housing having an application surface which is adapted to engage a treatment area such as an anatomical area of a user's body. The application surface is positioned relative to the magnet so that the magnetic field extends around and/or through the application surface to the anatomical area to be treated. Each magnet has a north and south magnetic pole and a pole width equal to the width of the magnet at the poles.

  • Patent number: 5817000
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of a moving magnetic field whereby a magnet moveable in a horizontal or vertical direction is placed proximate the user. The magnet is preferably contained within the interior cavity of a housing, the interior cavity being larger than the magnet, and the housing being positioned proximate to the user such that, as the magnet moves within the interior cavity of the housing, a moving magnetic field is generated which interacts with the surrounding tissue of the user. The housing may be attached to the user or to an object proximate to the user such that movements of the user or object cause the magnet within the interior cavity of the housing to move with respect to the user. Alternate embodiments include disposing the magnet on the end of a flexible handle or in an array.
