Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is focused on keyword searches of structured databases. This invention provides methods and systems for supporting keyword searches of data items in structured databases, such as relational databases. Selected data items are retrieved using an SQL query or other mechanisms. The retrieved data values are documented using a markup language like HTML. The documents are indexed using a web crawler or other indexing agents. Data items may be selected for indexing by identifying them in a data dictionary. The indexing agent produces an index that associates keywords with resource locators such as URLs, hot links, file paths, or distinguished names. After a user provides a keyword to a search engine interface, the index is used to obtain a resource locator associated with the keyword. The resource locator is then used to retrieve the item's current data from the structured database, generating a document containing the retrieved data for the user.

Another significant patent is the muscle-powered therapeutic vehicular system. This therapeutic system is particularly suited for strengthening the hip extensor muscles of a user. The vehicle combines the therapeutic benefits of conditioning the hip extensor muscles with the enjoyable activity of propelling oneself on a wheeled vehicle. A frame is provided following the general pattern of a tricycle with one steerable wheel and a pair of driving wheels. A seat, a backrest, and at least one strap for holding the user in position on the seat and backrest are also included. These user support structures securely hold the user in the proper operating position, even when the user has less than normal muscular control and strength, such as with children with cerebral palsy. Structures are included for receiving at least a portion of the user's leg between the knee and hip, transmitting the extension motion of the user's hips into the rotational movement of the driving wheels. Substantially only the hip extensor group of muscles of the user are used to propel the vehicle.
