20090294234 | Adjustable vibration isolation and tuned mass damper systems - Particular embodiments relate generally to vibration isolation systems and tuned mass dampers. In one embodiment, a vibration isolation system may include a supporting base, an isolated mass, at least one air mount, a control valve, a compressed air supply, and a supervisory controller. The air mount is positioned between the isolated mass and the supporting base. The control valve is pneumatically coupled to the air mount, the compressed air supply and the atmosphere, and is operable to adjust a flow of air to and from the air mount. The supervisory controller receives a mass relative height signal, a mass relative velocity signal, and a mass relative acceleration feedback signal corresponding to a relative acceleration of the isolated mass or a pressure of the air mount. The supervisory controller may control the control valve such that a mounting height, a damping and a stiffness level of the air mount are a function of the mass relative height signal, the mass relative velocity signal, the mass relative acceleration feedback signal, or combinations thereof. | 12-03-2009 |

20090070147 | PERSONALIZED INFORMATION DISCOVERY AND PRESENTATION SYSTEM - A personalized health information discovery and presentation system is presented. The system has an input device, a subject-profile module, an information database, an alignment module, a solutions module, an integration engine, a plan module, a graphical user interface, and a processor. The input device allows a user to enter a personalized subject-profile, the subject-profile module receives the subject-profile and converts it into a recognized health profile. The health information database comprises a library of health information, and the alignment module aligns the recognized health profile with relevant health information. The solution's module parses the relevant information into information subsets, and the integration engine integrates the information; identifies conflicting health information, contraindications, or health warnings; creates notifications; and compiles data for presentation to the user. The plan module converts the integrated health information into a personalized health maintenance plan for display in a form selected by the user. | 03-12-2009 |
20110246227 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING AN OPTIMIZED-PERSONALIZED HEALTH MAINTENANCE PLAN - Systems and methods for providing an optimized-personalized health maintenance plan are presented. The teachings include a method for creating an iteratively-optimized, personalized health maintenance plan for a user. The method includes producing a recognized health profile for a subject, developing a first personalized health maintenance plan from the recognized health profile, and converting compiled information into a presentation format for the first personalized health maintenance plan, or an optimized-personalized health maintenance plan based on at least a first iterated questionnaire. The personalized health maintenance plan is optimized to increase the level of specificity of the personalized health maintenance plan for the user. | 10-06-2011 |
