Publication number: 20190038006Abstract: This invention relates to a posture support (1) comprising a wedge-shaped body (3,51,131) constructed from a resiliently deformable material and means to releasably secure the wedge-shaped body to a backpack (151). The invention further relates to a backpack (151) in combination with the detachable posture support (1). The posture support (1) according to the invention may be quickly attached or detached from a backpack (151). In this way, when the posture support (1) is mounted on the backpack (151), the posture support (1) can alleviate the pressure on the spine and intervertebral discs caused by carrying the heavy backpack (1). When the posture support (1) if taken off the backpack (151), the posture support (1) may be used as a sitting posture support to alleviate the pressure on the spine caused by sitting on a flat surface. The posture support (1) is relatively inexpensive and can be produced at a fraction of the cost of many other posture supports.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 1, 2017Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Lawrence Woods, Sinead Moore

Publication number: 20140067693Abstract: A method for deploying a product through multiple phases includes defining work streams for deploying the product, where each work stream is defined for a set of components of a client environment. For each work stream and for each phase, a set of predefined tasks are identified for the phase, a computer processor gathers for the phase a set of instruments specific to the work stream for performing the set of predefined tasks, and the set of instruments are stored in a data repository of a deployment framework. The set of predefined tasks for the phase is common amongst the work streams.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Fausto Alvarez Hernandez, Stephen Ashley, Juan Carlos Gonzalez Bonilla, Giles Denby, Paul Galinski, Sebastien Geoltrain, Espen Osjord, Jonathan Scarf, Rosemarie Waiand, Stephen Warner, Stephane Emmanuel Paul Bonnassies, Munawar Ahmad Butt, Antoine Frichet, Armando Gomez, Bryan Johnston, Todd Olsen, Dany Rahal, Lawrence Wood, Yuhua Zhang

Publication number: 20100186679Abstract: A grooming tool includes at least three latex surgical tubing pieces generally arranged in parallel to one another, and anchored together at corresponding opposite ends. A handle provides for a user to draw the latex surgical tubing pieces across an animal for grooming. Some embodiments of a grooming tool include a hollow shaft, a pressure cap, and a plurality of fluid dispensing comb teeth for dispensing fluid stored inside the grooming tool onto the skin or fur of an animal being groomed. Some embodiments of a grooming tool include one or more detachable grooming accessories such as a comb, brush, heating pad accessory, fluid dispensing comb, or vibrator accessory. Some detachable grooming accessories may be attached to a grooming tool in combination with another detachable grooming accessory.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2010Publication date: July 29, 2010Inventor: Lawrence A.

Publication number: 20070180422Abstract: In an embodiment, data models are stitched into a stitched data model, where each of the data models has nets and at least one of the nets crosses a package boundary. A subset of the nets from the stitched data model are selected based on a constraint, and the subset is stitched into a common rule. In various embodiments, the constraints may include a wire length, a name of the nets, and maximum numbers of vias or T-connections. If the nets are completely wired, then wire segments between nodes of the nets are connected and nodes that include non-branching vias are moved. If the nets are not completely wired, then for any of the nets that have an open connection, a rule is found with a same number of the nodes as the net with the open connection, and the nets are ordered based on the rule.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jacqueline Cromity, Kenneth Christian, Jan Hoffman, Lawrence Wood, John Zack

Publication number: 20050135188Abstract: Improved methods of processing seismic data which comprise amplitude data assembled in the offset-time domain in which primary reflection signals and noise overlap are provided for. The methods include the step of enhancing the separation between primary reflection signals and coherent noise by transforming the assembled data from the offset-time domain to the time-slowness domain. More specifically, the assembled amplitude data are transformed from the offset-time domain to the time-slowness domain using a Radon transformation according to an index j of the slowness set and a sampling variable ?p; wherein j = p max - p min + 1 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? sec ? / ? m ? ? ? ? p , ?p is from about 0.5 to about 4.0 ?sec/m, pmax is a predetermined maximum slowness, and pmin is a predetermined minimum slowness. Alternately, an offset weighting factor xn is applied to the assembled amplitude data, wherein 0<n<1, and the amplitude data are transformed with a Radon transformation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2005Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventor: Lawrence Wood

Patent number: 4888899Abstract: A magazine for housing cartridges, preferably nine millimeter cartridges, is disclosed and includes, as part of the follower assembly, a spirally wound conforce spring unit, preferably comprising a plurality of separate but attached conforce springs. In a preferred embodiment, the magazine includes a conventional-in-length body, which has been modified by providing an elongated rib on the inside surface of a first side wall of the body. A wound portion of the spiral spring unit is located off-center and adjacent to an end portion of a follower body. An unwound portion of the spring unit is located adjacent to the first side wall of the magazine body. The rib acts to prevent contact between the unwound spring unit portion and the cartridges housed in the magazine.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1988Date of Patent: December 26, 1989Assignee: Ram-Line, Inc.Inventors: M.
