Abstract: An analysis tool guides the selection of an external agent who will interact with a selected organizational actor. The analysis tool helps to minimize mismatches in personality and behavior between the external agents and actors in the business. As a result, there are fewer misunderstandings about project scope and requirements, there is better communication between individuals, and valuable deals are more frequently closed.

Abstract: An evidence repository application system provides a centralized repository of implementation evidence data for a project and to provide a method for collecting, storing and tracking the implementation evidence data for the project. The evidence repository application system receives and stores evaluation data regarding the implementation evidence data. The evidence repository application system generates interactive reports summarizing the evaluation data for a project. The evidence repository application system implements a consistent approval process for a project with identified accountable managers and evidence providers. The evidence repository application system also implements an accountability process that notifies accountable managers and evidence providers of their roles and responsibilities for a project.

Abstract: The present invention provides underarm covers and hand grip covers for crutches. The covers can be constructed from different types of fabrics with various types of designs. The underarm cover defines a curved shape that generally conforms to the curved contour of the underarm pads used on many crutch designs. The underarm cover includes slits at opposing ends to allow for easy installation and removal. Extended sides of the underarm cover are drawn together with a coupler without overlapping each other. The combination of the curved contour of the underarm cover with the coupler pulls the underarm cover into a relatively snug fit with the underarm pad. The hand grip covers are formed from a single piece of fabric sewn into a tubular shape. Because the hand grip covers are not releasably connected with a fastener, the hand grip covers provide a relatively smooth exterior surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a powder coated crutch frame and underarm covers and hand grip covers for the same. The powder coating process may be applied to the entire crutch frame, or a subset of the frame components, and provides a more robust crutch frame by affording additional durability and protection. The covers can be constructed from different types of fabrics with various types of designs. The underarm cover defines a curved shape that generally conforms to the curved contour of the underarm pads. The hand grip covers are formed from a single piece of fabric sewn into a tubular shape to receive the hand grips of the crutch.

Abstract: A communication tool (101) is provided herein which is suitable for use with non-verbal, speech-impaired or autistic individuals. The tool comprises a display surface (103) which is adapted to be worn by a user, and a plurality of communications cards (105) which are releasably attachable to said display surface. The display surface is transformable from a first configuration wherein the display surface is maintained in a compact orientation on the body of the user, to a second configuration wherein the display surface is maintained in an expanded orientation on the body of the user.

Abstract: An article of apparel for a human head in the nature of a cap having a button permanently attached thereto with a three-dimensional plush animal adapted to be removably attached to the cap. The three-dimensional plush animal having a strip of cloth attached to the belly portion of the three-dimensional plush animal. The strip of cloth has an opening adapted to snugly receive the button. The button is removably inserted through the opening thereby removably attaching the three-dimensional plush animal to the cap.

Abstract: In an advanced intelligent network based information distribution system including a central office switching system connected to communication lines including at least one service switching point for selectively providing switched communications between the communication lines, a network controller arranged for selectively providing control data to effect land line communications, and arranged separately from the central office switching system, an incentive award computer system provides an award to users participating in an incentive award program. The incentive award computer system includes a request transaction processing computer system receiving an electronic transaction by a user, determining whether the electronic transaction is a reward eligible transaction, and generating a transaction request when the electronic transaction is determined to be the reward eligible transaction.
