20100139671 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BODY WORK - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for obtaining and maintaining correct alignment of body structure. In one embodiment of the invention, a head band is utilized that places light pressure on the erector spinae and sub occipital muscles below the occiput to relax the muscles that caused the counter clockwise rotation and light pressure is maintained to correct the misalignment of the atlas and occipital condyles. In another embodiment of the invention, the atlas is centered by applying manual gentle pressure to relax the muscles that caused the counter-clockwise rotation. Once relaxed, light pressure is manually applied to correct the misalignment of the atlas and occipital condyles. Gentle pressure can also be applied to the muscles that tightened as a result of the misplaced atlas until the muscles relax. The relaxation of muscles in this manner tends to also allow other misplaced body structure to return to its original position once the buildup of fasciitis is manually released. Moreover, an individual can be taught how to use the method and apparatus of the present invention to thereby maintain correct body structure and relaxed muscles. | 06-10-2010 |

20120278254 | Method for Creating Factor Indexes and Long/Short Index Products With Systematic Risk Management - An investment method and process used to create investment indexes that measure the difference between market segments, which such market segments may be in unrelated investment categories or within the same asset class, while simultaneously managing long/short portfolios that return the measured difference in the form of investible index products is disclosed. The three primary steps of the inventive investment method and process are: (1) to identify the desired risk factor for isolation for purposes of hedging existing risk, diversifying risk, or tactical investment in risk; (2) to create and calculate a Factor Index and develop underlying algorithms for intraday and end-of-period benchmarking; and (3) to design a Factor Index Product and implement a Factor Portfolio involving the isolation of the desired risk factor by establishing and maintaining a long exposure to one (or more) market segment(s) and a short exposure to one (or more) market segment(s). | 11-01-2012 |
20120296844 | Method for Creating Roll Yield Indexes and Index Products - An inventive computerized investment method and process is disclosed that comprises the creation, calculation, and use of a “Roll Yield” Index, which is a function of a futures contract “rolling” methodology that may vary depending on the underlying commodity, and a systematic rebalancing mechanism for portfolio management of long/short commodity futures index products. Both the Roll Yield Index and the long/short portfolios have the same investment objective to deliver the spread, or difference, between two or more futures contracts on the same underlying commodity with different expiration dates. | 11-22-2012 |
