Abstract: The lace down insole system provides a removable shoe insole using hook and loop type fasteners as a method for retaining shoelaces beneath the insole. The lace down insole may comprise a top side and a bottom side with a plurality of “male” hook and loop type fasteners strategically placed on the bottom side of the insole, allowing the original shoelaces to be placed underneath the heel portion of the insole. This allows an efficient way for allowing shoes to have the ability to slide on and off without the need for tying the shoelaces.

Abstract: A composite liquid-retentive substrate for a hygiene article comprises a base layer of first liquid-absorptive material. The base layer having a posterior end and a diametrically opposed anterior end interconnected by an intermediate tapered region. The posterior end has opposing posterior corners and the anterior end has opposing anterior corners. A posterior liquid-flow abutment comprising second absorptive material is disposed substantially around a perimeter of the posterior end. At least one anterior liquid-flow abutment comprising second absorptive material is disposed proximate one of the anterior corners of the anterior end.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to managing content item syndication by maintaining referential integrity between isolated systems. A computing device receives a first content item, wherein the first content item has an external dependency with a second content item defined by a first reference. In response to determining that the second content item does not exist on the computing device, the computing device generates a second reference to replace the first reference, wherein the second reference defines a dependency of the first content item to a third content item. The computing device generates a link that directs a user to the third content item in response to the user attempting to access the second content item.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for data replication between software versions is described. A method may comprise determining if a first item created in a first software version includes data native to a second item in a second software version. The method may further comprise, if the first item created in the first software version includes data native to the second item in the second software version, storing the data native to the second item in the second software version as native data. The method may also comprise, if the first item created in the first software version is missing required data based upon, at least in part, the second item in the second software version, storing a default value for the missing required data as native data.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, by a computing device, a query including criteria associated with a software development project. Information is analyzed based upon, at least in part, the criteria. One or more users that meet at least a portion of the criteria are determined. At least a portion of the one or more users is identified as recommended candidate team members for the software development project.

Abstract: A building surface area measurement system for efficiently measuring the surface area for a room. The building surface area measurement system generally includes a housing having a triangular shaped base, wherein the housing includes a first side positionable adjacent to a first wall and a second side positionable adjacent to a second wall in a corner, a first measuring unit within the housing directed parallel to the first wall to measure the width of the first wall, a second measuring unit within the housing directed parallel to the second wall to measure the width of the second wall, and an upper measuring unit directed upwardly parallel to the height of the walls. A control unit within the housing is in communication with the measuring units and utilizes the measurement data to calculate the total surface area of the room or the two walls. A display unit within the housing displays the calculated information.
