  • Publication number: 20190197459
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides generally for methods and systems relating to relocation management. More specifically, the methods and systems relate to monitoring and assessing the progress and status of a relocation. In some aspects, a move plan may be developed to perform a relocation, wherein the move plan may organize the logistics of the project. In some embodiments, a move plan may comprise move segments that may allow for more detailed logistics management and monitoring. In some implementations, a progress formula may be generated for a relocation based at least in part on the move plan, which may allow for a dynamic and accurate understanding of the progress and status of a relocation.

  • Patent number: 7574756
    Abstract: An apparatus for re-circulating a fluid contained within a hydrotherapeutic receptacle without the need for piping to a motor. The apparatus includes a jet housing having a portion thereof engageable with such receptacle. A nozzle device is located at one end of the housing to provide an entrance for such fluid to be suctioned into the housing and an exit for such suctioned fluid to be expelled from the housing. A control device is located adjacent the nozzle device to control fluid flow of such fluid suctioned into the housing and fluid flow of such fluid expelled from the housing. An expulsion unit is located adjacent the control device to expel such fluid from the housing back into such receptacle. A power source is connected to the expulsion unit to enable it to expel such fluid from the housing at a predetermined pressure into such receptacle at a predetermined rate.

  • Patent number: 6886138
    Abstract: In an interactive display interface, an implementation for highlighting all icons in any set of a plurality of the icons, wherein each icon in the set is within a predetermined distance of an approaching pointer or cursor. In other words, the point of the pointer or cursor may be considered to be surrounded by a circular halo with a radius of said predetermined distance. The user moves the cursor in a standard manner. However, if the icons that the moving cursor is approaching are so densely spaced that more than one icon comes within the halo, then all of the icons within this set of the plurality of icons is highlighted to give the user a more distinct choice. The highlighting of each of the highlighted icons is ended when the pointer moves outside of the predetermined distance or halo radius.
