Abstract: A rhyme engine generates hierarchical sets of imperfect rhymes by using the hierarchical relationship between consonants in a consonant family tree or chart to choose an order of consonant substitution for the perfect rhyme consonant that yields the best sounding imperfect rhymes first. Imperfect rhymes are broken down into at least four discrete levels of imperfect rhymes, starting with those based on the most closely related siblings of the perfect rhyme consonant. Words in which the stressed syllable to rhyme is not the last syllable can have their hierarchical sets of imperfect rhymes further broken down by substituting each right-most consonant individually, or the consonants in the right-most syllable, and then working to the left until the stressed syllable is reached.

Abstract: A text editor juxtaposes non-adjacent lines of a textual work to be shown as adjacent, later restoring the lines to original position. The text editor presents lines of words as separate columnized syllables, with stressed syllables presented visually different than unstressed syllables, to visualize the lines' rhythm. The lines may later be restored to original format. The text editor allows certain conditions in the text, such as rhyme and consonance, to be detected and visually indicated according to visual indication definitions, and then later restored to original format. A content wizard provides an easy starting point for a new textual work. A textual work uses blank lines and varying indentation levels to distinguish different stanza types. The text editor includes a rhyming engine which offers both perfect and imperfect rhyme options in a hierarchical output fashion based on similarity of consonant sounds.

Abstract: A nail sculpting station (12) is provided having a plurality of workstations (14), each of the workstations (14) having a work surface 16, a customer arm rest (18) and an exhaust vent (20). A customer's nails are manicured and sculpted while disposed above one of the exhaust vents (20) such that fumes and dust created during the manicuring and sculpting of the customer's nails will be drawn into the exhaust vents (20). The exhaust vents (20) of each of the workstations (14) are connected to a central exhaust duct 26which passes through a central region (24) of the nail sculpting station (12) and through the ceiling (38) above the nail sculpting station (12). The fumes and dust are exhausted exteriorly of the air space within which the nail sculpting technician and the customer are located.
