  • Patent number: 10895461
    Abstract: A multi-day and multi-person trip planning system comprises a planning graph of nodes interconnected by transit arcs which both have associated time-variable costs and time. A user specifies user objectives within trip destinations and customizes a plurality of user preferences for a multi-day, multi-person, multi-modal trip. An optimizer compiles a plurality of permutations of visiting plans within the planning graph which satisfy the specified user objectives including routing to a plurality of trip destinations. The optimizer compares the permutations using mixed integer programming or constraint programming to identify at least one optimized visiting plan having a lowest aggregate associated cost or shortest travel time that also satisfies a plurality of constraints determined by the customizable user preferences or environment condition. Then the user interface presents at least one optimized visiting plan to a user or route related coupons.

  • Publication number: 20070014194
    Abstract: A clock assembly (10) having a removable central clock mechanism (12) with time indicating hands (18, 20, 21) is adapted to be mounted on a flat vertical surface (26) with and separate removable hour disks (14) having numerals (34) connected to hanger elements (36) adapted to be mounted on the vertical surface around the central clock mechanism in correct positions to tell time. Doll clothes (40) are selectively hung on or removed from the hanger elements behind the numerals.

  • Patent number: 6758717
    Abstract: A doll head defines a pair of eye apertures and a pair of outwardly extending ears. A mask also having eye apertures and ear portions is removably attached to the doll head to overlie the facial portions thereof. The mask includes a snap fit attachment which engages the ear portions of the doll head. The apertures of the mask generally align with the eye apertures of the doll head when the mask is attached. An eye change mechanism supportive within the doll head provides alternative eye images viewed through the respective eye apertures of the head and mask.

  • Patent number: 6558221
    Abstract: A doll includes a doll body supporting a head upon which a substantially blank featureless face surface is formed of a washable material. A stencil mask is configured to be received upon the face surface and defines a faceplate generally conforming to the blank face surface. The faceplate defines a plurality of shaped apertures located upon the faceplate to correspond to the general locations of facial features. A plurality of feature stamps, each having shaped flanges corresponding to the aperture shapes of the faceplate apertures support feature image stamps which may be passed through the apertures to imprint upon the face surface of the doll.
