Title: A data processing system for providing an efficient market for loans and lines of credit
Inventor: ERLANGER MICHAEL DAVID
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-04-21
Abstract: A data processing system is disclosed that provides an efficient market for:  (1) the provision of loans and lines of credit between lenders and those seeking loans and lines of credit, and (2) the sale of loa ns between loan pool traders. In particular, the data processing system provides an efficient market for the provisioning of loans and lines of credit that not only invites lenders, loan seekers, and loan pool traders to patronize the system, but whose conventions induce them to patronize the system. An embodiment of the present invention comprises: receiving at a data processing system a lending criteria from eac h of a plurality of lenders; compiling a first set of statistics in the data processing system based on the lending criteria from each of the  plurality of lenders; and outputting from the data processing system the first set of statistics to a first lender at a price that is base d on a measure of fees incurred with respect to the first lender.

Title: Tire shredding machine and method of using the same
Inventor: CRAMER NEAL R
IPC: B02C18/22
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: A tire shredding machine which does not require the massive amount of machinery required for existing tire shredders and which is safe and simple to use is disclosed. The tire shredding machine (10) of the present invention essentially includes a housing (12) with a safety hood (30), several wheels (14, 16a, 16b, 18a, 18b, 20a, 20b, 34, 38) and guide elements or wings (22a, 22b). In order to shred a tire (42), the tire (42) is cut in half and each half is fed into the machine (10) one at a time. The safety hood (30) remains in an open position until the tire (42) is fed into the machine (10). Once the tire (42) is in the machine (10), the hood (30) is placed into a closed position, a switch is activated, and the wheels (14, 34) pull the half of the tire (42) into the machine (10). The tire (42) contacts the guide elements (22a, 22b) which, in turn, spread out or flatten the tire (42) so that the tire (42) may be fed into a grinder (38) which shreds the tire (42).

Inventor: ODOM RICHARD C
IPC: G01T1/20
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: An improved fast neutron detector fabricated with alternating layers of hydrogenous, optically transparent, non scintillating material and scintillating material. Fast neutrons interact with the hydrogenous material generating recoil protons. The recoil protons enter the scintillating material resulting in scintillations.  The detector is optically coupled to a photomultiplier tube which generates electrical pulses proportional in amplitude to the intensity of the scintillations, and therefore are an indication of the energy of the fast neutrons impinging upon the detector. Alternating layers of materials are dimensioned to optimize total efficiency of the detector, or to optimize the spectroscopy efficiency of the detector. The scintillating material is preferably ZnS, and the hydrogenous material is preferably plastic. The detector is ideally suited for well logging applications and fast neutron monitor applications.

Title: Nano-enveloppes metalliques destinees a des applications de biodetection
Inventor: OLDENBURG STEVEN J
IPC: C12Q1/26
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne des particules à nano-enveloppe ("nano-enveloppes") utiles dans des applications de biodétection, de même que des modes de fabrication et des procédés d'utilisation de celles-ci, dans la détection in vitro et in vivo d'analytes chimiques et biologiques, de préférence au moyen d'une diffusion lumineuse à effet Raman exalté de surface (SERS). Des particules préférées possèdent un noyau non conducteur et une enveloppe métallique entourant le noyau. Pour des matériaux donnés destinés au noyau et à l'enveloppe, le rapport entre l'épaisseur (c'est-à-dire le rayon) du noyau et celle de l'enveloppe détermine la longueur d'onde d'absorbance maximale de la particule. En réglant les épaisseurs relatives du noyau et de l'enveloppe, on fabrique des nano-enveloppes métalliques de biodétection qui absorbent la lumière à n'importe quelle longueur d'onde voulue, sur toute la gamme du spectre électromagnétique, de l'ultraviolet à l'infrarouge. La surface des particules peut induire un signal SERS accru, lequel est caractéristique d'un analyte recherché. Dans certains modes de réalisation, on a conjugué une biomolécule à l'enveloppe métallique et on a détecté le signal SERS d'un changement de conformation ou d'un produit de réaction.

Firstly, a specified processing depth A and tolerance .alpha. are registered with a program. Secondary, an origin of initiation of drilling is set on a surface of a workpiece by contacting a tip of an electrode D with the surface of the workpiece at a check point. Thirdly, the electrode is moved to a processing position to process until the specified processing depth. Fourthly, the electrode is moved to a position above the check point. Fifthly, the electrode is moved downward until the electrode contacts the surface of the workpiece; a Z-axis coordinate upon contact is defined as C. And finaly, a condition judgment is made concerning C which is found in the fifth step, as to whether or not ¦C¦ <= .alpha. is satisfied. If the condition is satisfied, then processing is completed.

IPC: H04B10/278

Abstract: A WDM input signal received at an add/drop node is coupled onto both a "drop" transmission path and a "through" transmission path within the node.  Optical channels to be dropped are then processed within the "drop" path, such as by optical demultiplexing. Because a copy of the same WBM input signal is routed on the "through" path, a dynamically configurable and programmable wavelength blocker selectively blocks the optical channels that are being dropped from the WDM  input signal and passes through those optical channels not being dropped onto the "through" path. In an "add" path within the node, optical channels are selectively added, such as by using optical multiplexing. Those optical channels from the multiplexed optical signal that are not designated for "add" (e.g., "unused" channels) are selectively blocked within the "add" transmission path. Optical channels from the "add"  and "through" paths are then combined form a WDM output signal.

Title: Cleat-forming woven fabric article for the manufacture of anti-creep floor mats
Inventor: LANG AAGE
IPC: B32B25/00
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to specific methods of producing cleated rubbe r- backed floor mats (such as dust control or rubber mats) through the utilization of the combination of a perforated coated woven fabric article (14) and a cushioned platen liner between the article and the metal platen o f an in-line dust control mat manufacturing machine. Such a procedure permits a more efficient manner of producing cleated anti-creep dust control mats than  previously followed. In particular, the fabric article is in the form of a conveyor belt (16) and is preferably constructed from Teflon (R) -coated wov en fiberglass which will not adhere to the tacky rubber component of the target  mat and can withstand the extremely high vulcanization temperatures and pressures required during the production of a dust control mat. Further, a method for utilizing the conveyor belt to produce foam rubber cleated anti- creep mats is disclosed. The cleats (24) of these mats have a thicker skin than the rest of the mat, thereby imparting enough strength and structural integrity so that the foam rubber mats may withstand the daily rigors of use , combined with periodic launderings. The produced mat as well as the woven fabric article/cushioned platen liner combination are also encompassed withi n this invention.

Abstract: Photon migration methods are employed to image absorbing objects embedded in  a turbid medium such as tissue. For improved resolution, early arriving photon s are detected to provide data with image reconstruction based on optical computed tomography (CT). The CT method is generalized to take into account the distributions of photon paths. A point spread function (PSF) is expresse d in terms of the Green's function for the transport equation. This PSF provid es weighting functions for use in a generalized series expansion method. Measurements of turbid medium with scattering and absorption properties included coaxial transmission scans collected in two projections. Blurring associated with multiple scattering was removed and high-resolution images c an be obtained.
