Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for cataloging, inventorying, selecting, measuring, valuing and matching Intellectual Capital skills and matching or inquiring of an individual's skills, and particularly to a system for finding candidates for an employment or consulting position having requisite skills, and more particularly to a system for creating a searchable knowledge base of individuals skills indexed in a hierarchical cataloging, measuring and valuation system. The present invention includes generating a list of Intellectual Capital Codes based upon a standardized skills catalog which contains a set of skill categories organized in a hierarchical manner with a unique Intellectual Capital code and at least one weighting factor assigned to each skill, wherein a plurality of Intellectual Capital codes and weighting factors can be compared to determine a match.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for cataloging, inventorying, selecting, measuring, valuing and matching Intellectual Capital skills and matching or inquiring of an individual's skills, and particularly to a system for finding candidates for an employment or consulting position having requisite skills, and more particularly to a system for creating a searchable knowledge base of individuals skills indexed in a hierarchical cataloging, measuring and valuation system. The present invention includes generating a list of Intellectual Capital Codes based upon a standardized skills catalog which contains a set of skill categories organized in a hierarchical manner with a unique code assigned to each category within each hierarchical level, wherein the combination of at least one code from at least one of the hierarchical levels forms an Intellectual Capital code.

Abstract: The present invention includes a golf scoring system for at least one golf competition, wherein at least one participant plays at a first geographic location with a set of results and at least one participant plays at a second geographic location with another set of results. This system includes determining at least one normalizing factor for each of the geographic locations relative to each other; compiling results from each of the participants; applying the normalizing factor to each of the results; and determining a final score for each of the participants. The normalizing factor can be stored in a data source; wherein the results are compiled also stored in the data source. The final score for each of the participants may also be stored in the data source and users can access the data source to view the final score for each of the participants. Moreover, participants can communicate with each other using email or chat rooms.

Abstract: A method for verifying the source of an electronic document located on a computer network, wherein the electronic document is viewed through a Document Viewer, which includes incorporating a document identifier into the electronic document. The document identifier contains identifying information related to the electronic document. A verification signal containing the identifying information and location information related to the location of the electronic document on the computer network is generated with the Document Viewer and is transmitted to a verification computer. The verification computer accesses a data source to retrieve an identification record and a location record for the electronic document. These records are compared with the verification signal, and a reply signal is generated, which is transmitted back to the Document Viewer.

Abstract: A golf putter is provided having a head and shaft. The shaft enters the head at a point at least about 70% of the length of the putter away from the front face. The shaft is angled about 10° to about 20° toward the front face of the head and angled about 10° to about 20° toward a user grasping the shaft.

Abstract: A device for controlling the movement of an electrical cord which connects a computer mouse to a computer. The device is made of a shackle made of a partially cylindrical body having flared lips which extend along the shackle body and a mounting structure attached to the shackle. The device shackle attaches to a mouse cord and the device mounting structure is attachable to stationary objects such as mouse pads or desk tops. The device limits the movement of a computer mouse cord to a length necessary to operate a computer mouse while restraining the remaining mouse cord length by allowing the length of mouse cord between the mouse and the shackle to be moved while the length of cord between the shackle and the computer is held stationary by the device.
