A mathematical system of measuring the consumer household demand for a consumer product or consumer service in a specified geographic location or socio economic group of consumer households. The measurement system was designed in such a way that it does not infringe on any personal information of the audience being measured. For the purpose of simplicity, any type of computer spreadsheet or database system software can manipulate the actual measurement numbers. The measurement system identifies a ratio of customer households in relationship to total households in a specific group or groups, in descending mathematical order, which household group or household groups actually contain the largest number of buying households in relationship to total households that have already purchased a specified product or specified service being measured.

Abstract:
A foldable and removable top for a passenger vehicle. The top includes an overhead cover member and side curtains. The overhead cover member has a support arrangement including front and rear headers, transverse bow members, and side rails. The flexible and foldable fabric of the cover member is secured at its end portions to the front and rear headers and the bow members are secured across the middle section of the fabric between the side rails. One end of each side rail is pivotally mounted to the rear header and the other, free end is releasably securable to an end of the front header. When assembled, the side rails extend between the front and rear headers to hold them in a spaced-apart, extended position with the fabric of the cover member being drawn taut therebetween. The side curtains of the top are releasably securable to the overhead cover member and are also releasably securable to the vehicle itself by a unique hook and catch arrangement.

Abstract:
A method for development drilling in a mineral producing field such as an oil and gas field wherein a plurality of wellbores are drilled in the earth through at least one mineral containing subsurface geologic formation, the plurality of wellbores being drilled from a central drill site radially outwardly therefrom wherein the wellbores are drilled at varying angles from vertical within the range of from about 30 to about 87. 5 degrees from vertical, the wellbores passing through at least one formation at an angle from vertical.
