Publication number: 20080110138Abstract: The CSI flex-plate is a special design technology that will help disburse the pressure over a greater area on the horse whether it be the back of the horse or other parts, thus reducing pressure points and reducing discomfort for both horse and rider. By cutting, layering and bonding a polycarbonate polymer into a combination of different lengths, shapes and thickness to achieve maximum performance, comfort, and protection at equestrian stress points. Currently the plate is sewn into saddle pads at the withers, along the spine, to the flanks, creating a base for the saddletree to rest upon, creating a stable foundation, which distributes the weight of the rider and saddletree pressure evenly over the horse's back. This distribution system will allow the horse to be more balanced, and have freer range of motion, thereby eliminating pain and sore spots. Improving the overall performance, attitude and endurance of the horse. This technology increases comfort and stability of the horse, rider and saddle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2006Publication date: May 15, 2008Inventors: Kevin Helms, Donna Helms

Patent number: 6477533Abstract: In one embodiment, systems and methods are used to maintain client relationships by tracking and managing customers and agents involved in booking a cruise. Furthermore, various activities which take place between an agent and active customers are monitored, whereby the type and quantity of activities performed by the agent is evaluated to assign a period of time of ownership of the customer. During the period of time while the customer is owned, other agents are prevented from acquiring the customer and subsequent booking commission. A series of rules which determine the duration of ownership of the customer are maintained and applied to enable the ownership to be changed as needed.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Travel Services International, Inc.Inventors: Martin R.
