  • Patent number: 8381435
    Abstract: An adjustable plant pot support for supporting a plant pot on an underlying surface. The support has a substantially rigid body having top and bottom surfaces and an outer perimeter surface. The top surface is adapted to support a portion of the plant pot and the bottom surface is adapted to be seated on the underlying surface. The body has male and female elements that are adapted to be interconnected with the corresponding male and female elements of an additional plant pot support. The supports are vertically stackable and have a retaining wall extending vertically from the top surface to provide a guide against which to place the bottom of the plant pot.

  • Publication number: 20120172722
    Abstract: A system includes an ultrasound transducer and a processing device coupled to the transducer and configured to generate to a display device a graphical user interface. The processing device is further configured to generate to a first region of the user interface an ultrasound image of a patient region of interest, generate to the first region at least one overlay image configured to indicate a specific feature associated with the region of interest, generate to a second region of the user interface a first set of selectable soft keys, the second region being exclusive of the first region, and in response to user selection of a first-set soft key, generate to a third region of the user interface a corresponding functional image.

  • Patent number: 7520483
    Abstract: A leveling assembly (2) comprising at least two leveling elements (4, 6) and having an uppermost surface (10) for seating a free-standing object 18. Elements (4, 6) are generally wedge-shaped, have upper (10, 14) and lower (12, 16) surfaces angled to one another (38, 42), are adapted to be placed one on the other and rotated relative to one another in order to vary the angle between the uppermost and lowermost assembly (16) surfaces. The elements (4, 6) may have co-operating guiding means (78, 82) or co-operating connecting means (184, 187) to aid in rotating the elements (4, 6) relative to one another and to resist shifting. In addition, the surfaces (16, 56) of the elements (4, 52) may be adapted with concave or cavity portions (58) in order to allow better seating on a surface (8). Reference markings (22, 28) placed on the elements (4, 6) aid in determining a suitable rotation of the elements (4, 6) relative to one another in order to compensate for a given slope.
