Abstract: A scheduling sign system includes a main sign, at least one entity indicator, and at least one alternative indicator. The main sign displays an array of units of time. The entity indicator, which is separate from the main sign, displays information identifying an entity, e.g., a person. The alternative indicator, which is separate from the main sign and the entity indicator, displays information identifying a location, reminder, appointment, or activity, e.g., a scheduled doctor's appointment. The entity indicator indicates (e.g., points to) either a particular time on the main sign, e.g., the time of the doctor's appointment, or a particular alternative indicator. The alternative indicator indicates (e.g., points to) a particular time on the main sign or a particular entity indicator.

Abstract: A unique wire weaving method using a new wire weaving tool that holds a multiplicity of wires in place during the weaving process. The tool includes a shaft supporting a head with a plurality of wire receiving holes disposed substantially equally thereabout. Normally, a multiplicity of metal wires form a dangling, unwieldy mass of threads and strings, which hamper the weaving process. The present tool allows the wires to be held to the shaft of the tool after they have been bent inwardly from the head, thus locking them in place about the shaft.
