摘要： Disclosed is an Expected Value Payment Method for the purpose of reducing the expected per unit costs incurred in paying and/or receiving a given amount of a commodity. An Expected Value Payment Method uses a random number supplier to decide bets that can reduce expected per unit costs in two ways. First, expected per unit costs can be reduced for the payer and/or receiver of a commodity by giving the receiver a chance to win a greater amount of the commodity than a given amount, the greater amount having a lower per unit cost than the given amount which was originally to be paid and received. Second, a probabalistic sorting method and system is disclosed allowing businesses to offer customers who bet to win a given amount of a commodity a better expected price for that amount than the price offered to customers paying conventionally. Also disclosed are Expected Value Payment Execution Methods and Systems that make an Expected Value Payment Method practical in the marketplace and methods and systems for preventing cheating in expected value payment bets.

摘要： Self-organizing data-base that charges users who find data in it and pays users who supply the data found. Has a built in feedback mechanism, called the Pay-off Meter (POM), that tells users what data needs supplying based on the number of request for that data over time. The POM outputs an expected Pay-off for supplying a piece of data. A sensitive and potent feedback loop is created insuring that the more a piece of data is requested during a period of time, the more likely the data will be supplied by a requestor or by someone a requestor tells of the pay-off.

摘要： The invention is a set of processes for improving the interface of a self-organizing database. This type of database stores both questions and answers. The improved interface processes enable a user who has found a (first) question in the database to enter a new (second) question and label that second question as "more specific" than the first. When a user presses an "enter more specific question" command, the system enables the user to enter a question and then stores the question and labels it as more specific than the first, and links the two questions in the database. Then, when any user has found the first question, the system enables him to "go to" the linked, more specific question by entering a "go to more specific question" command. Further, when a user has found a question, the system can present a list of all the more specific questions linked to that question. The system also enables a user to find a first question and then enter a new (second) question and label it as a synonym of the first. The system then links the two questions as synonyms in its database. Further, when any user has found a question, the system can present a list of all the linked "synonym" questions and can enable the user to "go to" a linked synonym question by selecting it.

摘要： A computer system that allows people to place, accept and settle bets for the purpose of communicating. The system cuts out the middleman, sometimes referred to as the bookmaker, allowing bettors to bet with each other directly. In addition to allowing people to place, accept and settle bets, the system enables people to settle disputes and change bets. It also allows people to place special types of bets for the purpose of demonstrating probability and quantity estimates. The system also allows people to to link bets to ordinary statements that are also entered into the system.

摘要： A computer input system employing an automatic speech recognizer. The system is used for finding names in a data-base. The system reduces the number of letters a speaker needs to enter in order to find a name uniquely in the data-base. The system enables the speaker to enter inputs that identify which words in the name the speaker's letter inputs correspond to. The system builds a set of search parameters incorporating both the user's word identifier inputs and letter inputs. This set can be called an abbreviation because it usually represents a small fraction of the total number of letters in the name the user seeks to find.

摘要： A labelling system which can protect a very wide variety of items from theft. The system requires four elements in combination: 1) A readily understandable message on an item which describes the state the owner intends the item to be in and further asks observers to take appropriate action should the item not be in that state. 2) The message must be easily detectable by people nearby. 3) The message must be changeable, at least once, to reflect a change in the state of the item it is on but, it must only be changeable by the owner and anyone he or she chooses. 4) The message must be very difficult to tamper with or hide without leaving a trace.
