  • Publication number: 20150111185
    Abstract: An interactive emotion communication doll used to evaluate the behavioral health of a child. One embodiment of the present invention can include a substantially humanoid figure defining a continuous exterior surface, wherein the figure further includes a substantially hollow interior, a plurality of receiving sites fixedly attached to the exterior surface of the figure, a plurality of removably attachable indicia sized and configured to selectively engage the receiving sites of the exterior surface of the figure, and a storage compartment for housing the plurality of removably attachable indicia. Another embodiment might include a battery operated RFID tracking system, including a RFID reader embedded in the interior of figure capable of reading RFID tags, having unique identifiers, embedded in the plurality of removably attachable indicia, to be used to track, calculate and evaluate data obtained using the RFID tracking system and therefore better assess the behavior health needs of a child.

  • Patent number: 7562072
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for enhancing help resource selection for a user that accesses a help function within a computer application. The method of enhancing the help resource selection comprises determining a list of help resources applicable to the current context of the user interaction with the computer application and the help feature. Then, the method ranks applicable help resources according to relevance criteria set by the practitioner of the invention. For example, the practitioner may wish to provide certain help resources based upon the skill level of the user and whether the user has accessed specific help resources in the past. The method would preferentially select those help resources that matched the user skill level and past access criteria set by the practitioner.

  • Publication number: 20070277097
    Abstract: An computer program product, a system, and method are disclosed for providing a training service. Delivery of the training service comprises selecting an input file comprising a plurality of presentation options, a plurality of mode definitions and a transform module. The transform module comprises transform logic configured to act upon content of an input file to present the input file to a user differently according to characteristics of a selected mode definition. Delivery of the training service further comprises receiving an input file selection and a mode definition selection. In addition, the transform module dynamically generates an output format for presentation of the content of the input file. The output format is generated by the transform logic as determined by the characteristics of the selected mode definition.

  • Patent number: 6439408
    Abstract: The crane comprises a mast (6), mounted on a chassis (1, 3), and a distributor jib (7) composed of successive elements (14, 15, 16) articulated on one another about horizontal axes (24, 29), the first jib element (14) being articulated about a horizontal axis (18) on the top of the mast (6). The first jib element (14) and, if appropriate, the following element (15) can be brought into a substantially vertical position in alignment with the erected mast (6), so as to increase the height of the mast. All the jib elements (14, 15, 16) comprise a rolling track (17) for a carriage (32), and these elements can be used in various positions (B, F). A crane with modifiable configuration is thus obtained.

  • Patent number: 4732784
    Abstract: An aqueous coating solution is sprayed into the interior of the reactor. After the aqueous coating solution has been sprayed, steam is injected and condensed within the reactor. Upon polymerizing a vinyl chloride-base monomer composition in the reactor after having been treated, the formation of deposits of polymer on the internal surfaces of the reactor is substantially reduced and even suppressed.
