Abstract: A computer server system and method are disclosed for personalization and customizable filtering of network search results and search result rankings, such as for Internet searching. A representative server system comprises: a network interface to receive a query from a respondent or co-respondent; at least one data storage device storing a plurality of return queries; and one or more processors adapted to access the data storage device and using the query, to select the return queries for transmission; to search the data storage device for corresponding pluralities of responses to the return queries from other co-respondents or respondents; to pair-wise score the responses and generate pair-wise alignment scores for respondent and co-respondent combinations; to sort and rank the combinations according to the alignment scores; and to output a listing of the sorted and ranked respondents or co-respondents to form the personalized network search results and search result rankings.

Abstract: Methods and design for a sling chair are described, the sling chair has an adjustable backrest, footrest and headrest to achieve maximum comfort for a user. A stand for a sling chair of stable design is described as well.

Abstract: An ergonomically correct swinging chair assembly has a body support cooperating with a foot rest; which footrest may be moved in order to simplify a seating process while a person is being seated, and then returned to a proper position when desired or after the person is seated.

Abstract: A balanced, tiltable swing swingingly suspended from a low support structure and above a lower support characterized by main body portion having longitudinally extending framework with laterally disposed lathes and defining a seat, a foot support connected with the main body portion and extending downwardly such that the foot support will contact the lower support when the swing is tilted forwardly; the main tilt beam traversing laterally of the swing and supported at each end by respective chains; respective auxiliary chains connected with the back of the seat and with the respective springs connected intermediate the chains to control the force required to tilt the seat; with the degree of tilt of a given swing being contained to a maximum.With the low support structure, the swing can be employed almost anywhere.

Abstract: A porch, patio or lawn swing is safety grounded when its rider merely steps onto or off of stands on a platform extending below and forwardly of the swing seat.
