Title: Method and system for determining and providing a comprehensive pet health and nutrition feeding plan
Inventor: WILLCOCKS NEIL
IPC: A01K1/10
Filed: 2006-12-20
Abstract: In order to provide a comprehensive pet health and nutrition feeding plan for a pet, the pet's condition is assessed using a predetermined assessment scheme. A diet suited for the pet's condition is determined using an analysis procedure or algorithm established for the assessment scheme. The assessment scheme takes into account feeding preferences of the pet's owner. A feeding plan is selected according to the determined diet, the feeding preferences, and budget considerations, if any, of the owner. Optionally, the owner may conveniently obtain the combination of foods/treats/supplements/pharmaceuticals in the selected feeding plan at a predetermined location, which is informed of the pet's feeding plan in advance of the arrival of the pet's owner.

Title: System and method for re-synchronizing an access barrier with a barrier operator
Inventor: VANDRUNEN PAUL J
IPC: G05B19/21
Filed: 2006-11-14
Abstract: A system for re-synchronizing an access barrier with a barrier operator comprises an access barrier, and a barrier operator to profile and monitor the manual and automatic movements of the access barrier. The barrier operator comprises a controller, a memory, a motor pivot encoder, and a counting encoder. The memory contains a primary counter to store the distance measured by the counting encoder, while a secondary counter maintains a value equal to the travel of the access barrier as determined by a profiling operation initiated prior to operating the barrier operator. The controller takes into account the counts of the primary and secondary counters, along with the stored profile information, allows the re-synchronization system to determine the proper amount of movement to be applied to open or close the access barrier, in the event the access barrier has been manually moved.

Title: Propel walkers
Inventor: EDWARDS-JONES MICHAEL G
IPC: A61H3/00
Filed: 2009-01-23
Abstract: This invention relates to a propelling device intended for walking. Propel Walkers allow body weight to be distributed over four points, provide improved stability of the user and a thrust action that enables the user to walk a greater distance, faster, and with less physical stress. The user pulls back and down on the Propel Walkers thereby compressing the device which subsequently springs forward, thereby propelling the user.  The unique curved shape of Propel Walkers, combined with the spring memory of the materials used in the manufacturing process provide for the spring return when compressed which pushes the user forward. When the device is compressed, the tip is being pushed to the ground which provides excellent contact and traction. Many people enjoy walking as a leisure activity. With Propel Walkers, they can go further and faster with less effort.
