  • Publication number: 20150101100
    Abstract: A children's garment and blanket system includes, in one embodiment, pajamas having a series of snaps (or other means of attachment) attached at various locations thereon, together with a blanket, quilt, or other covering having a series of corresponding snaps (or other corresponding means of attachment), so that the blanket may be affixed to the pajamas in order to hold it in place while the child is sleeping, and prevent the child from kicking the blanket off during the night. Multiple blankets may be removably attached together, and may further be removably attached to the pajamas. Alternatively, a single blanket or cover may be removably attached to multiple garments worn by multiple children.

  • Publication number: 20070269788
    Abstract: A database driven system for preparing for a standardized test. The database includes an analysis of previous tests, a Question Pool, and study resources. Based on the analysis of previous tests, the system pulls questions from the Question Pool to create diagnostic tests. The diagnostic tests are administered to the user. Based on the results of the diagnostic tests and the student's goals, the system develops an individualized Study Plan for the student. The Study Plan can be based on an analysis of previous tests, the student's performance on the diagnostic test, the student's goals, or any combination thereof. The Study Plan identifies the areas that are of most importance for the student to learn. The student may they use the study resources based on the results of the Study Plan. The system uses a variety of tools to make the study process more efficient and motivate the student.

  • Publication number: 20060102345
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of determining the fracture geometry of a subterranean fracture comprising introducing into the fracture a target particle and/or proppant; transmitting into the fracture electromagnetic radiation having a frequency of about 300 megahertz to about 100 gigahertz; and analyzing a reflected signal from the target particle to determine fracture geometry. Disclosed herein too is a method of determining the fracture geometry of a subterranean fracture comprising introducing into the fracture a target particle and/or proppant; wherein the target particle and/or proppant comprises a high dielectric constant ceramic having a dielectric constant of greater than or equal to about 2; transmitting into the fracture electromagnetic radiation having a frequency of less than or equal to about 3 gigahertz; and analyzing a reflected signal from the target particle and/or proppant to determine fracture geometry.
