Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a dynamic medical practice queueing platform via at least one patient user mobile device in operable connection with a network. An application server is in operable communication with the network to host an application program for displaying, via a display module, a virtual patient queue. The application program includes a user interface module for providing access to the virtual patient queue through the display module. A geofencing module determines the location of a user in reference to a geofenced location. A virtual patient queue module determines a time of arrival of a patient using the current location of the patient and positions the patient within a virtual queue.

Abstract: A footwear article includes (a) an upper having a tongue opening at a front thereof; (b) a gusseted tongue including a tongue panel positioned over the tongue opening and a pair of gussets attaching laterally opposite sides of the tongue panel to the upper; (c) a pair of tongue fasteners configured to selectively fasten and unfasten corresponding sides of the tongue panel to and from the upper; (d) a first lacing system on the upper and arranged for guiding lacing over the gusseted tongue and tongue fasteners when the sides of the tongue are fastened to the upper; and (e) a second lacing system on the tongue panel and arranged for guiding the lacing across the tongue panel clear of the tongue fasteners when the sides of the tongue panel are unfastened from the upper.

Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, machine, assembly, device, and/or manufacture, such as an ambidextrous and/or reversible holster holder, that can be reversibly configured for mounting a belt-attaching holster to an approximately vertical surface in either a right-hand arrangement or a left-hand arrangement, the belt-attaching holster potentially comprising a belt loop and/or a belt clip.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a drive device (1) of a vehicle, in particular, a motor vehicle, said device having at least one electric or hydraulic machine (2) as a drive unit. Said method consists of the following steps: determining a target drive direction (ZR) that can be set by the driver of the vehicle, detecting a current direction of travel of the vehicle and comparing the current drive direction with the target drive direction (ZR) that has been set, detecting the direction of action of a current drive force and comparing the direction of action with the target drive direction (ZR), if the current direction of travel deviates from the target drive direction (ZR), detecting/determining unauthorised driving of the vehicle, if the direction of action deviates from the target drive direction (ZR). The invention also relates to a device and a system, in particular, for performing the method.

Abstract: Light fixtures adaptable for use with displays such as retail displays and using T-5 type lamps, the fixtures having a lamp housing, a mounting bracket, and lamp housing support arms which extend from the mounting bracket to the lamp housing, the lamp housing having a shroud and shroud end caps at each end of the shroud, the shroud end caps configured for interconnection with an opposing shroud end cap of another fixture whereby multiple fixtures can be interconnected in serial fashion.

Abstract: A plant hydration pallet tray for supporting, hydrating, transporting and displaying several potted plants in a commercial/retail environment, has a generally rectangular base and side walls form a generally cubic structure for supporting plants in pots or containers and providing controlled drainage of water from the potted plants and from the tray to maintain optimum hydration of the plants on the tray.

Abstract: A system and method for decompression optimization employing a data input and a dedicated back buffer and data parser. The system and method also relate to accelerating the parsing process during decompression of a block of data by taking advantage of those naturally occurring redundancies within the block of data identified at compression time. The system of the invention includes a parser and an annotated back buffer which operate collectively to optimize the parsing process during decompression.
