US Patent:

20050149989, Jul 7, 2005

Filed:

Jan 7, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/753773

Inventors:

John Lupoi - Walnut Creek CA, US
Denae Theder - Orinda CA, US
Dean Miller - Oakley CA, US
Mark Jordan - Campbell CA, US

International Classification:

H04N007/16

US Classification:

725136000

Abstract:

An athlete recruiting architecture is disclosed. The athlete recruiting system allows a recruiting entity, such as a school, to search for and find athletes that satisfy recruiting entity-specified criteria. The athlete recruiting system also allows motion videos to be associated with athletes. These motion videos may be uploaded or streamed to interested recruiting entities over a communication network. The athlete recruiting system provides a video indexing mechanism that allows athletes and recruiting entities to generate and store indices to motion videos. The athlete recruiting system provides hit tracking mechanisms for notifying athletes about recruiting entities that have taken actions that indicate that the recruiting entities are interested in the athlete. As a result, athletes are encouraged to initiate contact with interested recruiting entities. This promotes the formation of relationships between athletes and recruiting entities while adhering to rules imposed on the recruiting process.

International Classification:

A61G 706

US Classification:

5617

Abstract:

A bed comprises an inflatable mattress supported on a platform of articulable links by a support system mounted on a weigh frame. The weigh frame is supported on a base frame supported relative to a floor. A pneumatic system includes a platform-mounted blower directing air through passageways in the articulable links. An exhaust passageway parallels the pressure passageway for exhausting opposite the blower. Air flow into and out of air cells in the mattress are controlled by valves coupling the pressurized air chamber and exhaust chamber to cell ports. A connector assembly is used to couple the cells to the platform, to adjacent cells, and to tubes connected to other cells. An alternative pneumatic system includes fans distributed on the platform in association with sets of mattress cells. A footboard assembly is formed as two gates that swing out from the foot of the bed. Each gate has a storable tray that is positionable on either side of the gate.
