  • Publication number: 20120311492
    Abstract: A computer program product and method is provided for capturing and organizing thoughts and ideas of a user. A user enters into a user interface display screen one or more thought-line headers and a thought-line for each thought-line header. Initial priority information and organizational headers may also be entered. Each thought-line header and associated thought-line define a complete thought-line, thereby capturing the thoughts and ideas of the user as they occur. The user interface display screen presents a display of a plurality of complete thought-lines and any entered initial priority information or organizational headers in a plurality of different configurations. The complete thought-lines may be reordered by the user in a variety of different ways, thereby organizing the thoughts and ideas of the user.

  • Publication number: 20100076953
    Abstract: Focused sets of queries are presented to an interviewee. Responses to the queries are recorded and displayed to the interviewee in a manner that focuses the interviewee on the current query. Responses are sorted based on importance to the interviewee. Responses are confirmed by the interviewee to ensure completeness and accuracy.

  • Patent number: 4694627
    Abstract: A resiliently-cushioned adhesively-applied floor system is comprised of a plurality of floor panels secured to a support base by an adhesive which is spread on at least one of the support base or the floor panels with a generally uniform thickness. A plurality of elongated support members fabricated from pre-cured elastomeric material are positioned between the floor panels and the support base. The floor panels are forced toward the support base so that the adhesive forms a bond between the floor panels and the support base or between the support members and the support base.

  • Patent number: 4238914
    Abstract: A resiliently impact cushioned adhesive-applied restricted growth low profile wall surfacing system for use in sports activities is provided. The wooden or composition wall members are held in place by spaced ridged elastomeric cushioning adhesive material between the wall members and the receiving surface. The elastomeric cushioning adhesive material has sufficient gripping and tensile strength to overcome normal horizontal and buckling expansive forces which can be generated by an increased moisture content within the wall members during periods of atmospheric moisture changes. The elastomeric cushioning adhesive material also provides substantial resilient cushioned support behind the wall members to assure desired ball rebound action, and to absorb ball impact sounds within the confines of the playing court, and provides a substantially planar wall even though the receiving surface may be relatively non-planar.

  • Patent number: 4236362
    Abstract: A wall system comprised of panels made of material dimensionally reactive to moisture content changes such as may be used for the sports of racquetball or squash in which panels are joined to vertical support members and to horizontal steel stress straps so as to control shrinkage and expansion forces within the panels due to changes in moisture content of the panels.

  • Patent number: 4233793
    Abstract: A resiliently cushioned adhesive applied restricted growth bridging wood flooring system is provided. The wood floor members are held in place by spaced ridges of elastomeric cushioning adhesive material between the wood flooring members and the supporting base. The elastomeric cushioning adhesive material has sufficient gripping and tensile strength to overcome normal horizontal and vertical expansive buckling forces which can be generated by an increased moisture content within the wood flooring members during periods of normal atmospheric moisture changes. The elastomeric cushioning adhesive material also provides substantial resilient cushioned support under the wood flooring members, absorbs impact sounds between floors of multistory buildings, and provides a substantially level floor even though the supporting base may be non-planar.
