Title: Vessel comprising a semi-weathervaning mooring arrangement
Inventor: SCHUURMANS SIPKE
IPC: B63B21/50
Filed: 2000-06-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a vessel (1) comprising bow and stern anchor lines (3-8) located between 5 % and 40 % of the vessel's total length from the midship position. The anchor lines (3-8) are connected at fairleads (11, 14) at the sides of the vessel in fixed positions. The transverse stiffness of the bow anchor lines (3-6) is larger than the transverse stiffness of the stern anchor lines (7, 8). The bow anchor lines may be of greater stiffness than the rear anchor lines (7, 8) by an increased pretensioning load or by addition of clump weights and/or may be located further from midship than the rear anchor lines (7, 8). Hereby, a relatively simple passive weathervaning system is obtained wherein lateral displacement of the midship area is minimised and in which the movements exerted by environments can be efficiently counteracted.

Title: Downloading mobile phone program modules from a base station
Inventor: SHIBUYA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2000-08-16
Abstract: A mobile phone contains flash memory 11, for the storage of program modules 111-117, and a working program RAM 12 into which selected modules 121-125 may be loaded from the flash memory when the phone is first activated following the download of any new program modules. When the phone is switched off the contents of the working memory are copied into the flash memory so that unused program modules are removed from the flash memory (figure 6) . The first activation of the phone following download of new program modules is determined by comparing the checksums of the flash memory and RAM. The phone sends the contents of a program module management table 13 to the base station so that only new program modules need to be downloaded. Programs may be encoded for transmission using the telephone number or serial number of the mobile phone.

Title: A method for enabling multi-element bidding for influencing a position on a search result list generated by a search engine
Inventor: SOULANILLE THOMAS A
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2002-08-05
Abstract: A system and method for enabling information providers using a computer network such as the Internet to influence a position for a search listing within a search result list generated by an Internet search engine. A database stores accounts for the network information providers. Each account contains contact and billing information for a network information provider. In addition, each account contains at least one search listing having at least three components: a description, a search term comprising one or more keywords, and a bid amount. The network information provider may add, delete, or modify a search listing after authenticated login. A search term relevant to the content of the web site or other information source to be listed is first selected. A search listing includes the search term and a description. A bidding process occurs when the network information provider enters a new bid amount for a search listing. The system and method then compares the bid amount with all other bid amounts for the same search term, and generates a rank value for all search listings having that search term. The rank value determines where the listing will appear on the search results list page that is generated in response to a query of the search term by a searcher.

Title: Method for destinguishing between wet and dry gas with a breath-alcohol measuring device
Inventor: STOCK BURKHARD
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2005-10-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for distinguishing between wet and dry gas with a breath-alcohol measuring device, in which a defined sample volume is fed to an electrochemical sensor (6) for the purpose of taking a sample from a blown-in gas, which sensor generates a sensor signal dependent on the conversion of ethanol, the sensor signal is passed on to a control and analysis unit (4) and analysed there to determine an alcohol concentration. In order to distinguish between dry and wet gas, provision is made such that the sensor signal is detected in its time dependence and that, if it is ascertained in the control and analysis unit (4) that, at the start of sampling, a sensor signal with opposite polarity to the sensor signal caused by the conversion of ethanol has first occurred, the presence of wet gas is ascertained. The method can be used for example in connection with the calibration of breath-alcohol measuring devices and in so-called interlock systems with a breath-alcohol measuring device in order to recognise manipulation attempts.
