  • Patent number: 9582594
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for facilitating centralized issue tracking. The method includes receiving information on a case from an issue tracking system (case information). The method facilitates executing a tagging method stored in a memory device that reads the case information, determines whether a part of the case information is desired information, and then tags the desired information. Finally, the method facilitates communicating the tagged information to a centralized database, where the centralized database stores the tagged information, and where the tagged information is accessible to the issue tracking system and at least one other issue tracking system.

  • Patent number: 5484361
    Abstract: A new and improved spring-loaded ski pole for upper body workout comprising a base portion secured within a ski pole. The base portion has an aperture formed therethrough. Included in the device is a housing having an open first end and a closed second end. The open first end has a diameter greater than the base portion. The closed second end has an aperture formed therethrough. A steel rod is situated within the housing and retained within the aperture formed through the base portion. The steel rod has a stop integral therewith. The stop is positioned beyond the base portion preventing the steel rod from exiting the base portion. The second end extends upwardly through the aperture of the closed second end of the housing. A spring envelops the steel rod. The spring has a first end resting on the base portion and a second end resting against the closed second end of the housing.
