  • Patent number: 7735500
    Abstract: A height adjustable crutch includes a single tube member, a foot grip, an underarm support, and a handle. The single tube member has a central axis along which a main member, a telescoping top member, and a telescoping foot member are aligned. The top member is adjustable relative to a top end of the main member. The foot member is adjustable relative to bottom end of the main member. The foot grip is fixedly attached to the foot member, and the underarm support is fixedly attached to a top end of the top member. The underarm support is generally perpendicular to the central axis of the single tube member. The handle is fixedly attached to the main member and is offset from the central axis of the single tube such that a gap separates a central area of the handle and the main member.

  • Publication number: 20020198761
    Abstract: A market for used vehicles is identified for a particular vehicle category. A group of dealers are selected who have a high likelihood of buying units of the products. To identify a market, inventory data is collected from each of a group of dealers within a region on a recurring basis. A dealer profile specifying the business rules for managing the inventory is obtained or produced for each dealer. A supply of products is determined by collecting inventory data from suppliers, such as automobile leasing companies and dealers with surplus inventory. The demand for products is determined by comparison of the dealer profile for each vehicle category to the actual inventory for the corresponding vehicle category and/or to the sales history for the product. The data for each product unit is expanded by reference to third party data bases by use of the vehicle identification number.
