Publication number: 20080319955Abstract: A computerized web page rating method encoded on a computer-readable medium is provided. The method operates client-side in network browser software, rating the relevancy of web pages visited in a project-based browsing network research session. The ratings of web pages are calculated using a relevancy algorithm selected from a group of algorithms consisting of (1) the application of a rating style or formula to user-defined keywords previously saved in association with a project and (2) manual rating based on visual review of the contents of the web page.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2008Publication date: December 25, 2008Inventors: John Douglass, Nathan Martyn, John Moetteli

Patent number: 7315848Abstract: A web snippets capture, storage, and retrieval system is comprised of a snippet capture and storage method operating on a computer. The system has snippet selection means which selects a snippet, snippet processing means which processes the snippet so selected, and snippet storage means which stores the processed snippet in memory in a format which can be displayed upon demand by a user. Preferably, snippet organization means saves the snippet in association with a category, further in association with a project or theme. A user prompting means prompts the user for a comment, which if provided by the user, the storage means stores in displayable form in association with the snippet. Identifying means store identifying characteristics of the snippet. Such identifying characteristics includes, for example, date and time of creation, size of snippet in relation to source document, source location of snippet, URL of the snippet and optionally the user who added the snippet.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Inventors: Aaron Pearse, John Douglass, John Moetteli

Publication number: 20060133065Abstract: The invention provides a method and arrangement for illuminating an under mount sink disposed subjacent a counter. A light source is disposed below a top surface of the counter and proximate to the under mount sink. The under mount sink is affixed to the underside of the counter and power is supplied to the light source. The under mount sink is illuminated by the light source when the power source is activated. The invention also provides a device that may be used for illuminating an under mount sink, while keeping the light source from contact with water.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2005Publication date: June 22, 2006Applicant: Elkay Manufacturing CompanyInventor: John Douglass

Patent number: 6416041Abstract: To reduce the tendency for high center of mass vehicles to roll, or vault over a guardrail barrier or dive under it, the guardrail barrier has outer curved portions selected to adjust the moment of inertia of the guardrail barrier by providing a sufficiently high moment of inertia to slow the vehicle but sufficiently low to avoid excessive force against the occupant compartment. A central portion connecting the outer curves sized to provide an effective depth of 12.25 inches to capture high bumper vehicles and small vehicles and an area of 1.99 inches to provide rigidity enough to the curved portions to avoid flattening and penetration. The outer curves are asymmetrical.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1996Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: The Board of Regents of the University of NebraskaInventors: Dean Leo Sicking, John Douglass Reid, Ronald Keith Faller, Brian George Pfeifer, Barry Thomas Rosson, John Robert Rohde

Patent number: 5437575Abstract: A game method utilizing a particular number of bowling pins that are set up in a formation which may be conventional to bowling. A bowling ball is directed at the bowling pins in order to topple the same. The topple bowling pins are transferred into a number which is indicated on a game board having a number of spaces, each with an assigned number. The spaces on the game board are arranged in a definite pattern. Successive placements of indicia on the game board are collated according to an arrangement forming a selected part of the game board pattern.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1994Date of Patent: August 1, 1995Inventor: John Douglass, Jr.

Patent number: 4606579Abstract: A wheelchair arrangement in which the side frames which are supported by the wheels are provided with sockets for the reception of arm assemblies having elements formed to be inserted in the side frame sockets for easy removal. In that arrangement, the sockets are held in spaced relation at a fixed dimension, the sockets are formed so that one socket has a major dimension greater than any dimension of the other socket, and the elements on the arm assemblies are spaced apart and sized to fit into the sockets to be substantially free of sideways wobble, with one socket having its major dimension oriented to allow reception of one element and accommodate tolerances in the spacing of the elements on the arm assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1983Date of Patent: August 19, 1986Assignee: Smith & Davis Manufacturing CompanyInventor: John Douglass
