    Abstract: The present system allows business people to organize, receive and transfer key information about themselves and their contacts through the use of videos, audio and text. Users can create their own profile video (either from a pre-set group of videos or videos they create and name themselves) that may then be disseminated to their entire contact list, prompting their network to join the system. The system in one embodiment provides an effective way to give referrals to others as a path to in turn receiving referrals. The system also provides a way for users to associate a plurality of multimedia clips with then profile, so that other users can easily learn what a user does, what they look like, and what referrals would be of most use to the user. The system provides templates and guidelines to creating the multimedia clip and creates an easy platform for sharing the information with others.

  • Publication number: 20110201438
    Abstract: This invention is an instruction teaching device to create a proper golf swing. The device helps the user to synchronize their hip rotation with the rotation of their hands. Rotating the hips and hands at the same time is difficult to master, especially for a beginner. With this device, if a user does not rotate his or her hips at the correct time, then the user's hands will encounter the forwardly extending rod that is affixed to the user's waist. Thus, this invention teaches correct timing.
