Title: Negotiation system
Inventor: AVALOS SALAS ROBERTO
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2004-07-23
Abstract: Negotiations for internet-based auctions or other bidding processes use a plurality of computer-based agent means 21,23,24. An originating agent 21 first defines the rules of the session by retrieving from a store 22 a previously-generated definition of the interactions required in a negotiation, and the purpose of each interaction, and a program for running a process that meets this definition. Having generated the rules under which the negotiations will be undertaken, the originating agent 21 transmits these details to the repository 22 (step 30) where they can be accessed by other users 23. These users follow the rules and the matrix of the session, and each generates a new matrix which is evaluated by the initiator 21 which then generates a selection from alternative matrices offered by the respondents 23. This process continues through a sequence of one or more negotiation phases with natural or artificial terminating conditions, when either a predetermined pattern of messages has been executed (or some other condition of the negotiation rule is achieved) or when an agreement has been made. The negotiation process is defined in terms of a predetermined plurality of phases during which particular parts of the negotiation are completed, responses to requests in an earlier phase in the process constrain the responses generated in subsequent phases, and the respondents can constrain their responses to one phase according to the known rules of the phases still to come.

Patent CA-2559701-A1 (CA)
Title: Coriolis mass flow measuring device
Inventor: FUCHS MICHAEL
IPC: G01N9/00
Filed: 2005-03-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a Coriolis mass flowmeter comprising a vibration-type measuring sensor (1) comprising at least one measuring tube (10) through which a medium can flow during operation. During operation, the measuring tube moves by mechanical vibrations, especially bending vibrations, by means of an exciter arrangement (40). The Coriolis mass flowmeter also comprises a sensor arrangement (50) for generating vibration measuring signals (sl, s2) representing inlet-side and outlet-side vibrations of the measuring tube (10).  Flowmeter electronics (2) controlling the exciter arrangement generate an intermediate value (X'm) which is derived from the vibration measuring signals (s1, s2) and represents an uncorrected mass flow, and an exciter current (iexc) driving the exciter arrangement. An intermediate value (X2) is derived from the exciter current and/or from part of the exciter current (iexc), said value corresponding to a dampening of the vibrations of the measuring tube (11), dependent on an apparent viscosity and/or a viscosity-density product of the medium guided in the measuring tube (11). Furthermore, a correction value (XK) for the intermediate value (X'm) is generated using the intermediate value (X2) and a viscosity measuring value (X.eta.) that is determined previously or during operation and corresponds to a viscosity of the medium guided in the measuring tube and/or a pre-determined reference viscosity. On the basis of the intermediate value (X'm) and the correction value (XK), the flowmeter electronics can then generate an accurate mass flow measuring value (Xm).
