Abstract: A business coaching process for life and business management that enables people to live and experience life first rather than letting money and business shape their lives.

Abstract: “A computer-implemented method and system (“Legion”) for capturing and outsourcing an existing graphical user interface (“GUI”) of an application to a crowd for their collaborative real-time control using an input device are provided. A crowd refers to a dynamic pool of one or a plurality of anonymous worker of varying skill level and/or reliability. The pool is dynamic because workers are able to come and go at their leisure and no specific worker can be relied upon to be available at a given time or to continue working on a job for a specific amount of time. Mediation strategies for integrating the input of multiple crowd workers in real-time is also provided.

Abstract: In order to temporarily close off the open end or ends of a supermarket cage to reduce risk of products falling out, a supermarket cage protection device is proposed which comprises a roller (16) mounted between respective brackets (30) which are adapted to be fitted removably to opposing upper regions of opposing side frames (22) of a supermarket cage (20). A sheet of flexible material (12) is mounted upon and extensible from the roller (16) so as to cover, in use, an open end of the supermarket cage. Means for releasably securing the sheet (12) when so extended may comprise a channel element (14) providing a hook to engage a bottom cage element and optionally a grip portion (45) to facilitate its release. In its simplest form such a device is, in effect, a roller blind adapted for fitting to a delivery cage.

Abstract: An apparatus for treatment of fabric, and including a fabric supply for supplying a length of dry fabric. A plurality of rolls having fabric-altering surface elements thereon is positioned in an upstream-to-downstream flow path for receiving the length of fabric across the surface elements thereof from an upstream fabric supply assembly to a downstream fabric take-up assembly. At least some of the plurality of rolls have drive means for positively rotating the rolls. The take-up assembly pulls the length of dry fabric off of the fabric supply assembly and through the flow path against the surface elements of the plurality of rolls in only a single pass and onto the take-up assembly.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus for scanning a video recording for objectionable content is disclosed that includes an audio processor for analyzing the recording and recognizing the objectionable audio, and audio control gate for manipulating the objectionable audio. The scanning apparatus also includes an amplifier that amplifies the signal and converters to convert the signal from analog to digital format prior to analysis and digital to analog format after analysis. The method of scanning the video recording for objectionable content includes the steps of analyzing the recording and manipulating the recording. The method first includes the steps of amplifying the recording signal, separating the audio portion of the recording from the composite recording, digitizing the portions of the recording, and storing the composite portion of the recording in a loop while analysis is performed on the audio portion of the recording.

Abstract: A lightweight construction core having a cellular structure, whereby the cells are enclosed by walls formed from impregnated paper-like material. The core has the form of a plate with cavities or spaces provided therein and is inserted into a component in such a way that the loading of the component acts as pressure upon the edges of the walls. When the lightweight construction core is used as a support core for a ski, more particularly for a long-distance ski, the core is covered by a covering layer on its sliding surface and on its upper surface. These covering layers may be adhered to lateral edges of the ski. The cells are formed by sandwiching or layering corrugated strips with support layers disposed therebetween, said support layers also being formed from layers to which the corrugated strips are adhered.

Abstract: The inlet air temperature and the exhaust gas temperature of a gas turbine power plant are monitored and are utilized as a determining characteristic in a power output stabilization control circuit. The control circuit is designed to change its response upon the attainment of a particular inlet air temperature threshold to conform to differing high and low temperature operating characteristics of the gas turbine power plant.
