Title: System and method for searching, finding and contacting dates on the internet in instant messaging networks and/or in other methods that enable immediate finding and creating immediate contact
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-07-04
Abstract: When searching for new people, the current instant messaging networks typically allow users to search mainly by name or by e-mail and some of them also by interests, although one of them (Odigo) allows to search also by sex , age, area, languages, occupation & interests. However, to the best of th e inventor's knowledge there is no way to systematically search in these networks for compatible dates by attributes such as for example education, general background, appearance, attitudes, and personality, or by reciprocal compatibility in any of the above mentioned attributes. This is a waste of a huge potential since some of these networks already have more than dozens of millions of people. Also, Odigo allows searching only among people currently connected, which means that highly compatible dates can be missed just because they don't happen to be connected at exactly the time of the search. The present invention is a novel concept which applies computer dating to the context of instant messaging, in a systematic and flexible way that to the best of the inventor's knowledge has never been done before. This system and method enable the user to search and find instantly compatible dates in instant messaging networks on the basis of attribute search or 1-way compatibility search or 2-way compatibility search instead of being limited to search only by the limited options described above, and to search, either for potential dat es that are currently Online or Offline, and also take advantage of many additional features, and especially features that are based on improved integration between computer dating and instant messaging.

Title: Laser-produced porous surface
Inventor: SUTCLIFFE CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2003-11-07
Abstract: A method of fabricating a porous or partially porous three-dimensional metal article for use as a tissue ingrowth surface on a prosthesis. The porous article is formed using direct laser remelting in a cross section of a layer of metallic powder on a build platform without fusing thereto. The power, speed, spot size and beam overlap of the scanning laser is coordinated so that a predetermined porosity of the metallic powder can be achieved. Laser factors also vary depending from the thickness of the powder layer, type of metallic powder and size and size distribution of the powder particles. Successive depositing and remelting of individual layers are repeated until the article is fully formed by a layer-by-layer fashion. In an additional embodiment, a first layer of metallic powder may be deposited on a solid base or core and fused thereto.

Patent CA-2455075-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ASHWORTH ERIC
IPC: B64C29/00
Filed: 2002-08-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de régulation d'écoulements liquides qui permet de linéariser les écoulements liquides. Ce système comprend un bâti pourvu d'un déflecteur cylindrique extérieur dans lequel une pluralité d'éléments hélices sont montés rotatifs. Pendant leur rotation, les éléments hélices définissent chacun une zone de balayage respective qui chevauche la zone de balayage des éléments hélices adjacents. Le déflecteur extérieur délimite la périphérie extérieure de l'ensemble des zones de balayage des différents éléments hélices. Les éléments hélices tournent dans le même sens de manière à ce que les forces de l'écoulement courbe des éléments hélices adjacents s'annulent mutuellement pour linéariser l'écoulement liquide dans le système. Pour des applications particulières du système, des déflecteurs et des entretoises supplémentaires peuvent être prévus dans les zones à l'écart du passage des pales. Dans diverses applications, les forces linéaires du débit vectoriel sont formées par l'intégration de forces courbes de l'écoulement tangentiel ; des systèmes d'écoulement économiques sont constitués pour augmenter les potentiels de forces dans les plans des hélices rotatives pour isoler l'écoulement émis et l'écoulement refoulé, le liquide se trouvant à proximité du débit mobile demeurant dans un état statique. Ceci permet de monter un ensemble de propulsion de liquide recouvert d'une enveloppe extérieure dans la zone statique du champ.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the total bacteria count in aqueous dispersions by means of sterile filtration of said dispersions using deep-bed filters (18, 22) pertaining to at least one deep-bed filter device, under pre-determined conditions, notably the temperature of the non-filtered part, the differential pressure in the deep-bed filters (18, 22) and the flo w speed of the non-filtered part in the respective deep-bed filter device. Kno wn methods are further improved by using non-homogeneous two-phase or multi-pha se mixtures as aqueous dispersions, especially in the form of animal milk and products obtained therefrom such as skimmed milk having a pre-determined dispersant content, especially of lipids and proteins, and by the fact the deep-bed filters (18, 22) of the respective deep-bed filter device are electrically uncharged (unpolar), in that the total bacteria count in aqueou s dispersions can be efficiently reduced by means of sterile filtration in a cost-effective manner and with high flow rates on a commercial scale, avoidi ng the pre-deposition of lipids and/or proteins before the actual sterile filtration.
