Title: Temporary lighting support assembly for scaffolding systems
Inventor: WHELAN RICHARD
IPC: E04G5/00
Filed: 2006-03-08
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with providing a support for temporary lighting for use with scaffolding systems. The support assembly comprises of two main components and the required fastening systems to affix lighting fixtures and mast light fixtures embodied in two configurations. The support consists of a thin walled pipe with a tube half clamp welded to one end and a thin walled tee welded to the opposite end. The clamp and tee are orientated to provide the support with a precise mounting position. A second thin walled pipe is positioned concentrically through the tee to create framework that has an angled appearance.  The second pipe is maintained annular and concentric to the first pipe by means of two washer type collars welded above and below the tee that constrains both pipes to each other.  A small space between the collar and tee provides the second pipe with unconstrained rotational movement. Lanyards incorporated in the support are fixed directly to the scaffold for job site safety concerns. Another aspect of the invention is the tube half clamp, which can provide quick assembly and infinite positional placement on a horizontal or vertical pipe member of a scaffolding system.

Title: System and method for aiding commercial property assessment
Inventor: PEDALINO LINDA
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-01-20
Abstract: A computer system and method is disclosed that aids assessors in valuing commercial real estate. To support their cost-based value, assessors use the system to generate an income-based value. The user inputs ranking criteria.  The system has a database of rents, vacancy rates, expenses, and cap rates that are derived from the market and are specific for application to properties within the assessor's district. The system calculates an income value based on recommended or custom indicators. The system also aids assessors in accurately calculating obsolescence. After the user inputs requested data, the system brings up the trended income value, calculates a percent difference between the cost and income values, and offers an obsolescence analyzer test to determine if there is obsolescence. If there is obsolescence, the system instructs the user on the correct way to apply it, and if not, additional questions are offered to help identify the discrepancy.
