  • Patent number: 11980805
    Abstract: A method of installing a binder-based overlay system may include contacting a layer of geotextile fabric to a surface of a substrate and applying a primer layer to a surface of the geotextile fabric. Two or more binder layers including infill particles may be applied over the primer layer. A resurfacer layer followed by one or more color layers may be applied over the two or more binder layers. The primer layer, one or more binder layers, resurfacer layer, and two or more color layers may cure upon application to form a monolithic layer upon the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20170344931
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for automatic task flow management across multiple platforms. In some examples, a user may be prompted to create a task upon analysis of an incoming or an outgoing communication or a task automatically created upon inference. The user may be enabled to define a duration, a priority, and/or a deadline for the task. A calendar item may be created based on task and user attributes such as user's schedule, other activities associated with the task, etc. Created task may be trackable through the calendar and/or through other application user experiences such as a task management application, an email application, and similar ones. Tasks may be closed automatically upon detecting performance of related activities or by the user upon being prompted. Incomplete tasks may be reflowed (and rescheduled on the calendar) automatically based on task, schedule, and other related factors.

  • Patent number: 5271481
    Abstract: An improved rolling restraint device and method for restraining a person are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a lockable hinged frame that has a roller which is adapted for rolling on a surface of a structure is provided. Preferably, the structure to which the rolling restraint device is attached is a railroad rail. In certain embodiments, side rollers are also provided that permit the apparatus to continue to roll even in a tipped or tilted configuration. A tether is attached to an attachment point that is preferably disposed on top of the frame that surrounds the rolling restraint device. The tether is also attached to the person being restrained and thereby provides a safety device which may be moved along as the person moves along the track or work place.
