  • Patent number: 9533741
    Abstract: The present invention is a stand up paddle board with left and right oars attached to left and right transmissions respectively mounted in the hull of the paddle board. The hull of the paddle board also includes a bow, stern and foot pads upon which the operator stands on. The oars pivot around an oar pivot in a longitudinal direction and paddle arms attached to the oars pivot around an arm pivot in a longitudinal direction. The paddle arms terminate in at a lower at a paddle so that when the operator urges the oars in a rearward and forward motion, the paddle arms pivot around an arm pivot and propel the paddle board.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9435895
    Abstract: A dosimeter that is configured to assist with patient-specific quality assurance (“QA”) in arc-based radiotherapy, such as stereotactic radiotherapy, is provided. The dosimeter facilitates acquiring multiple different dosimetric measurements simultaneously. For instance, the dosimeter can be configured to acquire dosimetric measurements from multiple different modalities, including gel dosimetry and film dosimetry, and is configured for simultaneous use with a diode-array QA phantom.

  • Patent number: 8676911
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media that may be used to present messages posted on messaging networks to a user in a time-shifted manner are provided. One method includes transmitting a request to a server to provide messages posted by users of one or more messaging services. Each of the messages has a timestamp associated therewith that falls within a time range associated with the request. The timestamp is based on a time at which the message was originally posted. The method further includes receiving the messages from the server. The method further includes correlating, for each of the messages, the time at which the message was originally posted with a time in the time range associated with the request. The times are correlated based on the timestamp of the respective message. The method further includes transmitting, to one or more display devices, display data representing the messages.

One method includes transmitting a request to a server to provide messages posted by users of one or more messaging services. Each of the messages has a timestamp associated therewith that falls within a time range associated with the request. The method further includes receiving the messages from the server and correlating, for each of the messages, the time at which the message was originally posted with a time in the time range associated with the request. The method further includes transmitting, to one or more display devices, display data representing the messages. Display of each of the messages is shifted based on the correlation such that the messages are displayed in substantially the same manner as if the messages had been viewed live.

  • Publication number: 20070124398
    Abstract: Order associated with messages is preserved in an environment wherein a message includes an associated order identifier; a receiver is operable to receive a first message associated with a first order identifier and a selection component is operable to select a first entity for processing the first message. The system includes a determination component for determining whether a notification associated with completion of processing of the first message has been received by the receiver; and a controller for controlling the selection component to select a second entity for processing the second message, in response to a combination of receipt of the notification and a second message associated with the first identifier being received by the receiver preceding the receipt of the notification.
