Abstract: A method and system of generating a printed medium such as a sign, chart, or banner is disclosed. The system includes software configured to permit a user define parameters used in creating a printed medium. The software includes several modes of operation. In a Banner Builder Mode, the customer chooses from thousands of professional designs and customizes his/her own message. In a Photo Finish mode, the customer creates a high-quality banner, sign, or chart from his/her own favorite photos. In a Banner Bazaar Mode, the customer selects from a stock of ready-made banners, signs, and charts. Finally, in a Big Design Mode, the customer designs his/her own banner, sign or chart on a Mac or PC using his/her own software.

Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for combining a retirement income management account with a retirement income plan. A first set of data is obtained from a retirement income plan associated with a user. The first set of data includes a projected withdrawal from a retirement asset account. A second set of data is obtained from a retirement income management account associated with the user. An actual withdrawal from the retirement asset account is determined based on the second set of data. A display is generated showing the projected withdrawal compared to the actual withdrawal.

Abstract: There is disclosed a composition for relieving pain and improving the mobility of a patient in need of such treatment. The composition comprises a tetrtacyclene compound and a non-steroidal compound. When administered concurrently, the composition compounds appear to have a potentiating effect. In one instance, the tetracyclene compound appears to potentiate the activity of the non-steroidal compound in relieving crippling pain and stiffness that impede mobility. In another Instance, the non-steroidal compound appears to potentiate the tetracyclene compound to down regulate inflammatory regulators.

Abstract: System and method for removal of private information associated with a client from public databases. The system and method includes (a) receiving information from the client to be deleted from the public databases; (b) storing the client information in a database; (c) storing in the database a list of the public databases; (d) for each of the public databases in the public database list, transmitting a query to each of the public databases to determine if the client information exists in the public databases; (e) if the client information does exist in the public databases, deleting the client information from the public databases; and (f) after deleting the client information, transmitting a query to the public databases from which the client information was deleted to determine the success. This process is then repeated on a predetermined periodic basis.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for sterilizing or disinfecting a surface, which comprise applying an electrostatically-charged aerosol of a disinfecting solution onto said surface and allowing said aerosol to remain in contact with said surface for a time sufficient to achieve the desired degree of sterilization or disinfection.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for automated circuit design case management. A computer system maintains a set of cases for circuit design, in which each case comprises a set of files, in one or more directories, representing the circuit design. For example, each case may comprise a circuit schematic, a symbolic representation for a circuit element, a set of timing information, or a wiring diagram. The system provides a set of tools for automated management, manipulation, and verification of cases. The system provides a technique by which a designer or other user may create a case in which the program maintains assertions regarding the state of the circuit, the mode of operation, or the purpose of analysis for that case. The system provides a technique by which a designer or other user may modify a first case, or create a second case modeled on the first case, in which a first subset of the files for each case is invariant and a second subset of the files differ between the two cases.

Abstract: A clothing accessory is provided which includes a base panel, the upper portion of which is bifurcated to form a pair of belt loop portions through which a wearer passes their belt thereby securing the accessory to the trousers in juxtaposition to one of the belt loops of the trousers. The lower portion of the base panel includes a pocket or similar receptacle for storage of personal objects. The pocket or receptacle may be formed integrally with the base panel or secured thereto.
