Abstract: A method and system for linking web sites is provided for the use of
connecting a client computer with a web site in the world wide web (WWW). The
method allows a user to make a request for linking a web site with his/her client
computer by inputting a web site address in the form of telephone number, in the
browser of the client computer or a homepage provided by the system for linking web
sites. The system for linking web sites is then activated responsive to the linking
request made by the user to perform a search based on the input web site address in
the web site address-IP address database of the system for linking web sites, of which
the web site address is composed of country code, area code and telephone number.
The client computer thus can be linked to the desired web site if a web site address is
found corresponding to the input one; at least a web site address can be displayed in
the client computer for the user's selection if at least a web site address similar to the
input one is found; and the user is advised to re-input a web site address if there is no
web site address stored in the database similar to the input one.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the assessment of quantity and quality
parameters of biological particles in a liquid analyte material. The method comprises
applying a volume of a liquid sample to an exposing domain from which exposing
domain electromagnetic signals from the sample in the domain can pass to the
exterior, and exposing, onto an array of active detection elements such as CCD-elements,
a spatial representation of electromagnetic signals having passed from
the domain, the representation being detectable as an intensity by individual active
detection elements, under conditions permitting processing of the intensities
detected by the array of detection elements during the exposure in such a manner
that representation of electromagnetic signals from the biological particles are
identified as distinct from representations of electromagnetic signals from
background signals. The size of the volume of the liquid sample is sufficiently large
to permit the assessment of the quantity and quality parameters to fullfil a
predetermined requirement to the statistical quality of the assessment based on
substantially one exposure.
