    Abstract: A portable seat cushion for a bleacher seat includes a polyethylene foam extrusion having a generally planar top portion, front and rear portions downwardly extending from front and rear edges of the top portions, and bottom portions inwardly extending from lower ends of the front and rear portions. The top, front, rear, and bottom portions form a channel-shaped cross-section having a central passage sized for the bleacher seat to pass therethrough.

  • Patent number: 5745561
    Abstract: An improved call-coverage arrangement (106) allows a principal (120) to program (administer) and name multiple independent call-coverage paths (211) for the principal's telephone number. Selection of an individual call-coverage path for an individual call to the principal's telephone number depends either on which one of the call-coverage path is active (221) or on which one of the call-coverage path's selection criteria (212) are matched by the parameters of the call. The selection criteria are likewise programmable by the principal. The principal remembers and accesses (for administration) individual call-coverage paths by name (220).
