摘要： Transactions in virtual property, such as virtual display windows of virtual buildings in a three-dimensional virtual city, are supported by a computer system and processing methods that enable selection and leasing or sale of the virtual property according to various business models. In one approach, advertisers or content providers may bid on the right to display content in virtual display windows of a virtual city that can be navigated using a 3D browser. Successful bidders become leaseholders of virtual display windows. Prior to the expiration of a lease term, a leaseholder may renew its lease or convey lease rights to another party, potentially at a profit.

摘要： A vortex finder for a cyclone separator, comprising a plurality of superposed rings each including a plurality of suspended plate segments. Each of the plate segments includes a main plate having radially offset upper and lower end portions, opposite inner and outer faces, an upper support member integrally formed with the upper end portion to protrude from the outer face, and a lower support member integrally formed with the lower end portion to protrude from the inner face. The upper support member of the plate segments of the one of the rings engages and is supported by the lower support member of the plate segments of another of the rings positioned above the one of the rings. The lower support member defines an open-bottom pocket having at least one pass-through opening for fluidly connecting a space inside the vortex finder with a space outside the vortex finder.

摘要： A method for organizing and presenting material content on a display to a viewer, the method comprising: mapping a plurality of display windows within a virtual three-dimensional space so that each display window is allocated a specific and predetermined position in the space, rendering each display window in three-dimensional perspective according to its position and angle relative to a viewer's virtual position in the virtual space, cross-referencing the position of each display window to a storage location of the material content that is designated to be rendered in that particular display window at a particular time based on at least one predetermined condition, allocating at least part of the three-dimensional virtual space to display windows whose content is not chosen or determined by the viewer, selecting, retrieving and preparing material content for possible subsequent display according to a predetermined algorithm, selecting and rendering prepared material content within its cross-referenced display window according to a predetermined algorithm, providing a means of virtual navigation that changes the viewer's position in the space in such a manner as to simulate movement through a plurality of predefined channels in the virtual space.
