  • Publication number: 20020059339
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated publishing system and a related method for generating documents that include both design elements and content elements. Documents within this context include any type of output that includes both design elements and content elements. The system tests output documents for a variety of factors by allowing for feedback from intended recipients of a document about the design and content of the document. The feedback may be in any form, such as a survey, or the number of recipients who respond to an advertisement, or the amount of time it takes the recipient to read a web page, for example. In this way the system correlates the response of recipients to the design and content elements of the document. Any correlations that are established through testing the response of recipients can be used as a basis for creating new documents.

  • Patent number: 4858249
    Abstract: A shoulder strap organizer operative to secure the shoulder straps, either in the front or back of a garment, particularly a child's garment, in place, preventing their falling off the shoulders which results in loss of garment support. The shoulder strap organizer is provided with hook and pile or similar release-fastening material, to permit it to form two loops, which are fully adjustable around each of the shoulder straps. The body of the shoulder strap organizer is typically a nylon web material which can be washed when desired. It is a convenient aftermarket item which can be used with any garment that has shoulder straps. The preferred use position for a child is in the rear, making the child less aware of its presence and less likely to remove it. An adult user may wear it in the front where it is more easily affixed.
