Abstract: A game goal according to the invention, such as a soccer goal, collapses both vertically and laterally. The goal includes joints and brackets which facilitate the collapse of the goal such that the during vertical collapse, the forward uprights of the goal fold below the goal's lower rear support members, enhancing the goals transportability. The goal includes stabilizing arms and corresponding receptacles to stabilize the goal in the collapsed position. The goal also has a resistive element which prevents the goal from collapsing too quickly. The goal further incorporates a rotating joint in a top corner bracket which provides an interference fit with a slot in the top corner bracket and a notch in the upright, thereby providing stability when the goal is in the upright or open position for use. Lateral stability of the goal under the weight of a net is enhanced by angle brackets at the ground level of the goal.

Abstract: A seamless and compatible system comprised of various hardware and software components for storing and carrying digital medical records on bodily worn devices, accessing said medical records from bodily worn devices via wireless interface wands, displaying said medical records on portable hand held devices and screens, transmitting said medical records to either base unit computers or patient monitoring modules in emergency rooms, Also disclosed are unique methods for organizing and prioritizing said medical records via a unique weighted average risk factoring based on pre-existing conditions, access to medical records and prognosis during treatment. Also disclosed is a unique means of interfacing the system to the Internet to access said medical records from remote locations and for convenient updating of said records via remote locations.

Abstract: A method for imparting damage resistance to a coating, film or article of manufacture comprising adding crosslinked polymeric nanoparticles having a size range of 1-100 nm in diameter to said coating, film or article of manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to water soluble tablet coatings prepared from water soluble, partially and completely neutralized acrylic polymers and at least one film modifying agent.

Abstract: There is provided an aqueous composition comprising at least one poorly water soluble compound and at least one pH-sensitive dispersed polymer. Also provided is a method of preparing an aqueous composition, comprising the step of preparing a mixture by mixing such ingredients, where the viscosity of the mixture is less than 1.0 Pa*s.

Abstract: An aqueous composition having a pH of at least 10, and comprising from 0.1% to 5% of at least one crosslinked copolymer comprising from 2.5% to 65% (meth)acrylic acid residues, from 10% to 80% C2-C4 alkyl (meth)acrylate residues, from 2% to 25% lipophilically modified (meth)acrylate residues and residues of a crosslinker that has no ester or amide functionality.

Abstract: The invention is a novel bodily worn device, preferably in the form of jewelry, a medallion or watch, which provides for the digital storage and retrieval of a user's medical records, drug prescriptions, medical history, organ donor instructions, and personal identification for use in an emergency or rountine medical situation. Additonal embodiments include an electronic dogtag for military and law enforement applications. The device includes; an outer safety shell, in the form of a medallion, or watch with markings which identify it as a medical device, and digital storage media such as a computer chip or high density silicon media, and non-contact wireless electrical power to the device and non-contact wireless retrieval of records. Security features include encrypted software and user passwords for medical records confidentiality.
