Abstract: This non-provisional patent application pertains to an embodiment of an online decision engine for applied research and statistics. Users will interact with a point-and-click interface that asks questions to guide researchers to the correct research methods and statistics to answer their research questions. A number of decision engines exist in the overall decision engine. These decision engines include: Research questions, research designs, statistical power, sample size, evidence-based medicine, epidemiology, diagnostic testing, variables, statistics, databases, surveys, psychometrics, and education. Users are presented a series of questions and based on their answers and clicking on buttons with the answers embedded in them, they are linked to webpages with the correct research method or statistical test based on their responses to the questions presented.

Abstract: A computer software program that will allow mental health practitioners to enter data into portable files and send information to various professional organizations, institutions, businesses, and/or entities through a direct, secure, and electronic linkage created by registering with said professional organizations, institutions, businesses, and/or entities. Mental health professionals using the software program will be able to create portable files containing information about clients, notes, credentials, licenses, certifications, specializations, accreditations, professional memberships, professional trainings, Continuing Education Units, professional activities, supervision hours, education, insurance board memberships. A plethora of relevant professional mental health information will be accessible through the software program. Professional organizations, institutions, businesses, and/or entities will be able to advertise and/or send information pertaining to products and services.

Abstract: The patent pertains to an embodiment of an invention and/or process for scanning a person's, object's, and/or animal's body and/or physical disposition using a scanner/sensor apparatus to generate measurements and/or avatars comprised of exact, specific, and/or unique body measurements, physical dispositions, and/or spatial requirements within three dimensional and 360 degree space. Once the avatars are generated, stored to a database and/or memory device and uploaded to a Web-based interface, consumers will be able to purchase products, clothing, apparel, shoes, and/or accessories across varying lines, brands, styles, and trends that are manufactured to their exact body measurements. Businesses and/or commercial entities will have the ability to create digital images of their subsequent lines, brands, styles, and trends of products, clothing, apparel, shoes, and/or accessories and upload them to a Web-based interface.

Abstract: This specification encompasses a number of processes geared towards the integration of products, services, and markets into 3D modeling/rendering software platforms. Users of 3D modeling/rendering software platforms will be able to implement over one thousand various products and services into 3D models/renderings of homes, businesses, vehicles, structures, and/or buildings. Users will also be able to send created and/or manipulated 3D models/renderings to a virtual marketplace where commercial entities specializing in construction, remodeling, manufacturing, designing, buying, and/or selling markets will compete for business opportunities related to 3D models/renderings of homes, businesses, vehicles, structures, and/or buildings.

Abstract: This patent pertains to an embodiment for a process for installing prefabricated sections of fluid-, utility-, and/or matter-carrying medium systems with turbines systems attached to change the kinetic energy of flowing fluids, utilities, and/or matter into electrical energy. Sections of existing or yet to be discovered mediums systems will be removed and replaced with prefabricated sections with varying turbine systems attached. These prefabricated systems can be installed in isolation or in groups along the entirety of a medium system to maximize potential electrical energy production. A system for conducting the newly generated electricity to desired destinations is also described. The patent uses the resource of infinite consumer demand for fluids, utilities, and/or matter to be transported to and from geographical areas via medium systems to generate electricity.

Abstract: The process of attaching turbines to water mains, water towers, sewage lines, aqueducts, and various pipelines so as to capture the kinetic energy of pressurized fluid traveling through these mediums and changing the kinetic energy to electric energy by means of a generator and conducting this new electricity to the nearest power substation by means of a conduction pipe. By consumer demand for utilities such as water and sewage to be taken to and away from homes and businesses, these consumers will be making their own electricity that they will then buy back from the utility companies. With more and more people buying homes and starting businesses, there will be many new utility consumers on top of the already existing consumers, which means that the potential and scope of using the process for making cleanly generated electricity is limitless and universal.
