  • Publication number: 20100185636
    Abstract: Predefined lists of selected variables are created and interrelated to produce incident reports. The lists are created and modified through the use of formatted computer screens or input forms, and the reports are produced through the use of formatted computer outputs or output formats. The lists include accident-related information such as industry types, occupations, safety teams, attendance codes, types of injuries, body parts affected, types of incidents, site conditions, accident causes and safety reminders. The input forms often correspond directly to the types of lists, so that there is a form through which the list of industry types is created and/or modified, and another form through which the list of occupations is created. In addition, there are input forms that allow creation and/or modification of several lists at one time, particularly when each element in one list is directly associated with one element from another list.

  • Patent number: 7747464
    Abstract: A method of promoting and playing a motion picture at a theater in which the motion picture is not scheduled to begin at any particular time, the patron may visit the theater when convenient, and the motion picture begins a pre-determined period of time after the first patron arrives. The motion picture may begin earlier if a pre-determine level of patrons arrive. Various system are also described to support this process, including systems that delay the determination of the motion picture that will be played by a particular theater until after a visiting patron selects that motion picture. Applying these concepts to purchased or rented offices, apartments and condominiums is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4297120
    Abstract: A pattern table for forming of heated glass tubing such as neon light tubing according to a prescribed flat pattern. The table includes three support surfaces: a first for holding the pattern; a second light transmitting plate held directly over the pattern; and a third light transmitting screen supported on a top surface of the plate. Heated glass tubing can rest against the screen and be formed according to a pattern viewed through the screen and glass plate. The pattern is insulated from the heated glass tubing being formed. The heated glass tubing in turn is isolated from the heat absorbing glass plate by an interposed air space within the screen structure.
