Appl. No.:

11/120715

Inventors:

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707200000

Abstract:

A method for creating an amalgamated bioinformatics database from at least a first database and a second database is presented. Concepts are identified in a first field from the records of the first database. A second field from the records of the second database which has data related to the first field is also identified. A first set of concepts is identified by traversing a mediating database using terms associated with the first field and a second set of concepts is also identified by traversing the mediating database using terms associated with the second field. Either the first set of concepts or the second set of concepts, or both, is identified using non-trivial terminological mapping. The set of related concepts in the first set of concepts and the second set of concepts is identified and a record is generated in the amalgamated bioinformatics database.

Abstract:

A multi-functional, adjustable, weight lifting and exercise apparatus, is described. The weight lifting apparatus allows a user to configure the apparatus among a plurality of different positions, so that a full range of user support platform incline, as well as, adjustable decline positions, is also obtainable, while allowing at the same time unobstructed user access to barbell weights, which are supported on an adjustable weight support structure, located at the head end of the apparatus. The apparatus is also fully adjustble, so that barbell weights supported on the barbell weight support structure, can be readily accessed and lifted properly in numerous specific exercises. The platform decline position, allowing the performance of the decline barbell benchpress, with proper user access to the weights, supported on the weight support structure, is accomplished by the coordination of the movements of a fully adjustable, horizontally slidable, user support platform structure, a unique support platform hinge mechanism, as well as the fully adjustable and removable back height position bar.
