  • Patent number: 8770597
    Abstract: A collapsible shelf and dolly system which may be used in either the capacity of a dolly or as a shelf. The dolly has a frame and a base member upon which objects are mounted during displacement of the dolly. A first shelf mechanism is rotatably coupled to an upper section of the frame and a second shelf mechanism is rotatably coupled to a lower section of the frame with the first and second shelf mechanisms having a first deployment position for mounting objects thereon and a second operational position next to the frame for transporting objects mounted on the base member.

  • Publication number: 20070220018
    Abstract: A generator sequence is defined and used for providing an enhanced user experience and increased user control. A generator sequence is established as a series of user inputs that trigger an output. User inputs to the generator system managing the generator sequence are employed to define a user performance value for a specific point, or position, in the generator sequence. The user performance value is then used to establish a new user point, or position, in the generator sequence. The user inputs and/or the new user generator sequence point are used to identify one or more feedback effects files and/or functions and one or more benefit effects files and/or functions for producing user output. A user can utilize the feedback effects and/or benefit effects to alter their inputs to control the generator sequence.
