Abstract: A multi-legged equipment support, components thereof, and associated methods. The equipment support comprises a stand and an equipment holder. The stand includes a hub and multiple legs pivotable with respect to the hub. The legs are pivotable outward from stowed positions to preset operational pivoted positions. The user can select a preset operational pivoted position in which outward pivoting of a leg will stop based on moving an actuator between preset locations.

Abstract: A veterinary procedure table system includes a procedure table having an animal support surface assembly supported by a vertical column, wherein the animal support surface assembly is movable between first and second tilted orientations, and wherein the animal support surface assembly is movable between a first animal support surface height position and a second animal support surface height position, and a back table coupled to the vertical column of the procedure table, wherein the back table is movable between a first position relative to the procedure table and a second positon relative to the procedure table, wherein the back table moves with the animal support surface assembly between the first animal support surface height position and the second animal support surface height position, and wherein the back table does not tilt with the animal support surface assembly between the first tilted orientation and the second tilted orientation.

Abstract: Behavioral influences are determined and real-world variables modified according to the present invention. A forecasting engine and method assists in forecasting occurrences of identifiable events and/or results based on signature and/or pattern matching. The present invention derives signature for event-types based on a comparison of actual event data with pre-established representational surfaces. The surfaces represent functional measurements and analysis associated with elements of the geospatial boundary being considered. In one embodiment, the present invention assists in the determination of possible real-world factor influence opportunities in order to influence desired behavior.

Abstract: Changes in event, threat and result patterns assist in forecasting subsequent occurrences. The present invention derives signature for event-types based on a comparison of actual event data with pre-established representational surfaces. The surfaces represent functional measurements and analysis associated with elements of the geospatial boundary being considered. Comparing newly obtained event, result and threat data with previously stored signatures facilitates change detection.

Abstract: A system, method and framework incorporates one or more analytical engines and sensitivity models to process data and project real-time or near-real-time threats, risks, vulnerabilities and/or opportunities statically or continuously. Response assessments can be reflected on a graphical interface so as to provide a consolidated depiction of threats, risks, vulnerabilities and/or opportunities. Response assessments can also be reflected as one or more signal controls to a physical device.
