International Classification:

G09B 5/00
G09B 7/00

US Classification:

434307 R, 434350

Abstract:

An interactive visually-based educational system and method that provides improved teacher-student, parent-teacher and teacher-teacher communication and collaboration. A plurality of data, such as video files, audio files, image files, document files, lesson templates, animations and the like, are received from a teacher, a supervisor, and the like, via a computer network. The received data is stored in a dynamic digital image library. The dynamic digital image library includes means for organizing the received data into easily identifiable and searchable curriculum categories. The received data is further used for generating visually-based lessons corresponding to the plurality of categories associated therewith, which lessons are stored in a digital interactive visual lesson library. The stored visually-based lessons are customized using personalized and other additional data and stored. The customized personalized visually-based lessons are interactively accessed via corresponding applications by associated students, teachers, and parents.

US Classification:

368 10

Abstract:

An apparatus provides accented vibrations to an object and has a means for elastically suspending said object and at least one disengaging displacement means. The application of current interest is for winding a self-winding mechanical wrist watch during intervals when not worn on the wrist so it will not run down and stop. The apparatus has an enclosure and a holder to accept and position a self-winding watch which is periodically set in motion to simulate wrist action. The holder, within the enclosure, is mounted on springs and driven by a low rpm gearmotor which alternately pushes and releases; then pulls and releases so as to give a sharp acceleration in two or more directions. This action increases effectiveness of the apparatus in winding watches in different positions. The motion produced has other applications such as in testing other motion sensitive equipment or in producing unique patterns of mixing.

Appl. No.:

8/223731

Inventors:

Jeffrey Henry Richards - Las Vegas NV

International Classification:

A41D 2720

US Classification:

2247

Abstract:

This invention provides a useful system for attaching and detaching an external pad to fabric. The pad serves as a base for attaching accessories like pockets, ribbons, straps, decorative patches, labels, etc. The attachment solves problems with previous portable pockets; namely, limited useful life of adhesives and having to permanently attach one member of the VELCRO pair (either hooks or loops) to the apparel and associated problems of snagging when laundering such. The solution presented provides a light weight, flexible system which is unobtrusive to the user and economical to produce.

Appl. No.:

8/056863

Inventors:

Jeffrey Richards - Las Vegas NV

International Classification:

F16M 1124

US Classification:

2481882

Abstract:

A device adapted to stabilize an article of furniture on a support surface is formed as two wedge-shaped pieces so constructed that they slide into each other thereby causing a furniture leg to be raised or lowered. The mechanism for holding the two parts together is such as to prevent them from coming apart or being forced apart by the weight of the supported object. The construction material is stiff, yet flexible and resilient, to help stabilize the article of furniture, and may be an anti-skid material. The upper surfaces of the device deviate from a plane so as to provide a very small height correction without compromising stability.
