Abstract: A method and system for assigning a document review lists to users based on a search query. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a search query; generating a first list of documents based on the search query; distributing the first list of documents into N document lists; assigning each of a plurality of document lists to at least one of a plurality of users. In other embodiments, the process includes a machine-readable medium that provides instructions for a processor, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method of the present invention.

Abstract: A method and machine-readable medium for reviewing documents are described. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a plurality of documents; for each document in the plurality of documents: determining if the document is attached to a parent document; if the document is not attached to a parent document, creating a root node in a hierarchy corresponding to the document; and if the document is attached to a parent document, creating a child node in the hierarchy corresponding to the attached document, the child node being inserted as a child of the node corresponding to the parent document; and selecting a first document; and performing an action on the first document and any documents having a specified relationship to the first document based on the hierarchy. In other embodiments, the process includes a machine-readable medium that provides instructions for a processor, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method of the present invention.

Abstract: A method and system for comparing search results is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a search query; searching a plurality of documents using the search query to generate a first query result; storing the first query result; searching a plurality of documents using the search query to generate a second query result; comparing the first query result and the second query result to generate a compare result; and displaying the compare result. In other embodiments, the process includes a machine-readable medium that provides instructions for a processor, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method of the present invention.

Abstract: A diving viewing device for permitting a diver to view behind the diver to observe any predatory fish approaching from the rear includes a diving mask being wearable over eyes of a diver to permit the diver to see under water. A pair of rear viewing assemblies is coupled to the diving mask. Each of the rear viewing assemblies is extendable from the diving mask to permit the diver wearing the diving mask to look at the rear viewing assemblies to see behind the diver. The rear viewing assemblies are positioned on opposing sides of the diving mask.

Abstract: A method of treating or preventing one's health problem that are associated with one's cells having a poor metabolic capability to process fat includes ingesting a therapeutically effective dosage of an anaplerotic precursor. Examples of such health problems include obesity and the related health conditions that are aggravated by obesity, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, migraines and headaches, menstrual cramps, cholesterol excesses, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, anemia, high blood uric acid levels, ketosis, tobacco and other drug addictions, and digestive problems. In a preferred embodiment, this method includes the daily ingestion of L-aspartic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable analog thereof, at the rate of 10-14 g/day and restricting from one's diet the intake of starchy foods.
