Patent number: 8140375Abstract: A credibility card contains a claim about a resource, a way to identify the claimant, and a set of choices to be voted on about the claim. A resource can be information content, a product, or another item about which a claim can be made, and it may be associated with a Uniform Resource Indicator (URI). Information (e.g., a web page) that contains or describes the resource includes the credibility card, and a user viewing the information is given the chance to vote on the claims, such as by indicating agreement or disagreement with the claim. The votes are stored in a repository, which may protect the votes from being deleted. Users can view the tally of votes in order to judge the credibility of the claim or the claimant.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Korby Shane Parnell, Robert Rebholz, Eric Mahlberg, Jason McCullough, Benjamin Daniel Martin

Patent number: 6343694Abstract: The present invention provides for a modular based system for carrying and displaying medical equipment and supplies, incorporating highly organized, procedurally oriented storage modules designed with visible pockets and restraining devices. The modules can function independently or as part of a larger unit that includes many modules. They can be attached to a display board by one of several securement devices, which in turn can be attached to corresponding mobile stands or to a variety of surfaces in a variety of transport media. The modules can also be placed in one or more unique portable bags, vests or backpacks specifically designed to accommodate the modules through its corresponding fastening devices.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1998Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Inventors: Tracey Parnell, Shane Parnell
