  • Publication number: 20130067655
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for supporting a person in a bathtub or shower. The apparatus comprising: an elongated base, comprising a tapered yoke operably coupled to a first end of the elongated base and a stabilizer operably coupled to a second end of the elongated base. The apparatus comprising a rotatable and/or slidable chair, wherein the rotatable and/or slidable chair is operably coupled to the same end of the elongated base as the tapered yolk. The method comprising: providing an apparatus having a rotatable and/or slidable chair, wherein some of the components may be foldable, such as a foldable seat, a foldable back, foldable legs, and a plurality of arms. Folding the foldable components of the slidable and/or rotatable chair make transporting easier and safer because the apparatus is more compact when the foldable components are in the folded position.

  • Publication number: 20020152110
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for collecting market research data on-line through the use of a Web-hosted interactive multi-media software application. This system collects participants' responses and reactions to pre-determined stimuli utilizing interactive participation via computers to collect data while adhering to scientific and proven market research methodologies. When the system is hosted on a web accessible resource, participants access the system via unique universal resource locators (URLs). Such responses are recorded, scored and stored in a text file in a hidden frame that remains state throughout the execution of the survey. Once all the responses are scored and stored, the text in the hidden frame is then sent to the administrator's server for storage and subsequent analysis.
