IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2009-02-24
Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided to drive early adoption and retention of disparate sources of funding and financing an award program, with application to a consumer compensation scheme subsidized through advertisement revenue. A  component that manages advertisement revenue, or received funds, allocates a portion of revenue to subsidize a rebate program, or award program, for enrolled advertisers, or sources of funding, from a universe of advertisers. Rebate or award funds are provided to enrolled advertisers on an exclusivity based for a specific period of time, after which funds are transferred to a commonly accessible account. The subsidized nature of the awarded compensation funds and their time sensitivity drive advertiser enrollment and retention and ensures consumers are aggressively compensated. In an aspect, the subsidized rebate program can be exploited to directly compensate consumer online or offline in exchange for the consumer's intent in engaging with a service platform.

Patent CA-2740906-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIPSON ROBERT H
IPC: C01G31/02
Filed: 2009-10-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a method to effectively inhibit the oxidization of VO(acac)2 in solution for months. It is believed that VO(acac)2 forms a.pi.-complex with as many as three allylic alcohols which precludes reaction with any oxygen in the system. Although saturated and homoallylic alcohols were also tested, this effect appears only in the allylic-alcohol based solutions. This ability to inhibit oxidation of VO(acac)2 allows these solutions to be used for making thermochromic VO2 film much more easily and economically as it avoids the requirement of operating under low oxygen level conditions.    Thus the present invention provides a method of stabilizing vanadium oxyacetylacetonate (VO(acac)2) in solution against oxidation for extended periods of time, comprising the steps of mixing the oxyacetylacetonate precursor in an allylic alcohol prior to spin-coating for VO2 film formation. The allylic alcohol may be .pi.--methallyl alcohol. Alternatively, the allylic alcohol may be any one of 4-buten-2-ol, 2-buten-1-ol, 1-penten-3-ol, 2-hexen-1-ol and 1-hexen-3-ol.

Title: Eddy current testing method and eddy current testing apparatus
Inventor: HIBINO TAKASHI
IPC: G01N27/90
Filed: 2009-12-14
Abstract: In an eddy current testing method which involves using a rotatable eddy current testing probe in which a detection coil is arranged within an exciting coil, a change in detection sensitivity (a deviation of detection sensitivity) which changes depending on the rotational position of the detection coil is reduced. The eddy current testing probe includes an exciting coil EC1, a detection coil DC1, an exciting coil EC2 and a detection coil DC2, which are mounted on a disk DS. The eddy current testing probe is placed so as to face a circumferential surface of an object to be inspected T, which is in the shape of a circular cylinder, and the disk DS is rotated. Then, the distance (liftoff) between the detection coils DC1 and DC2 and an inspection surface changes. Therefore, also the detection sensitivity to a flaw signal changes. To reduce the change in detection sensitivity, the detection sensitivity is adjusted by detecting the rotational position (rotational angle) of the detection coils DC1 and DC2.
