Abstract:
A Neodymium-Iron-Boron permanent magnet which is substantially wider across a first axis than across the perpendicular second axis. The second axis is the axis defining the north and south poles of the magnet. At one of the poles is a permalloy cap which is substantially parallel to the first axis and inhibits the extension of magnetic flux from that pole and encourages instead a deep extension of the magnetic flux from the other pole. An aperture penetrates the magnet through the second axis which is wider at the pole away from the permalloy cap than it is at the pole adjacent to the permalloy cap. The shape of this aperture causes a distortion of the deeply extending magnetic flux lines at the pole away from the permalloy cap to be pinched inward toward the second axis rather than being parallel to it. The magnet thus provides a concentrated magnetic force that extends deeply out of its base so that the magnet can be placed on the exterior of a vessel or conduit with the result that the fluid inside is treated with optimized magnetic force.
Abstract:
The present invention is a preventive maintenance system and kit that can prolong the life of the regulators and motors. In performing repairs to automobile power window regulators and motors, it is often the case that the repair is required due to a breakdown of the lubricant. This breakdown can be due to several factors, such as age, temperature, dirt, and salts. The window regulators and motors, without appropriate lubrication, will fail and lead to more costly repairs. A kit has been developed to service the electric windows of an automobile without disassembling the door is presented. The kit provides for access to the door interior and for lubricating the interior parts. The kit and method is designed to lubricate the many window parts in order to extend their life and maintain functionality.
Abstract:
One embodiment of a method of the present invention provides for obtaining an image from a requester, obtaining contact information for vouching people, whom requester identifies as having personal knowledge of the requester, and sending an electronic message to the vouching people, with a link to an image lineup. The image lineup contains the image obtained from the requester and other images. Then receiving a selection choice from the vouching people, identifying whether the image in the image lineup depicts the requester, and calculating a statistical rating of a likelihood that the image obtained from the requester depicts him/her.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention envisions providing requester with an application for a mobile device equipped with a built-in digital photo camera. The application controls the camera and prevents alterations to an image taken with the camera. The unaltered image of a portrait photograph of the requester is transmitted from the mobile device to the verifier's server computer. The image of the portrait photograph of the requester may further be used to verify the requester by comparing the image to the photographs from other sources.
Abstract:
Presented are an insulation brick and the method of using an insulation brick to create a thermal lining. A set of corrugations are formed into a sidewall of the brick to increase the thermal insulation. A first end of the insulation brick has a convex portion while the second end of the insulation brick has a convex portion. This allows a first insulation brick to mate with another brick in an end to end configuration.
Abstract:
Methods of the present inventions allow for verifying the authenticity of social website accounts. An example embodiment of a domain name control based social website account authentication method may comprise the steps of receiving a request (that may include a business name and a business email address) to verify the authenticity of a social website account, determining whether the domain name used by the business email address is registered to and under control of the business, and—if so—certifying the authenticity of the social website account.
Abstract:
Methods of the present inventions allow for social website account authentication. An example embodiment of a domain name control based social website account authentication method may comprise the steps of receiving a request to verify the authenticity a social website account (the request may comprise a business name and a business email address comprising a first domain name), submitting the business name to a search engine, receiving a search result webpage having a plurality of links (that each include a domain name), selecting the most relevant link, extracting a second domain name from the most relevant link, determining whether the first domain name matches the second domain name, and—if so—certifying the authenticity of the social website account.
Abstract:
Methods of the present inventions allow for generating online advertisements offering dynamic content relevant domain names for registration. An exemplary method may comprise the steps of requesting at least one available domain name (which may be based upon content on a website), receiving the domain name(s), incorporating the domain name(s) into an online advertisement, and displaying the online advertisement on the website.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of the present invention allow for recommending hosting applications. An exemplary method may comprise the steps of receiving a URL for a Submitted Website from a potential customer, determining the features of the Submitted Website, and offering Hosting Applications (that implement the Submitted Website's features) for sale to said potential customer.
Abstract:
A video management method and system based on a topic, and a video search method based on a topic. The video management system includes: a video topic management unit extracting a topic from information associated with a video, storing the extracted topic, and monitoring the video associated with the stored topic; a video storage management unit storing the video and information associated with the video, and managing a storage space based on the topic which is stored in the video topic management unit; and a topic video management unit generating a topic video of the monitored video when the video associated with the stored topic is monitored, and providing a search function and a navigation function of the video which is stored in the video storage management unit.
