摘要:
A system for gathering and analyzing data on individuals, comprising a processor connected to a network; a database server connected to the processor; a user database connected to the processor; and a user interface operable to interact with the processor and the user database; wherein the processor is operable to obtain information associated with a reference individual from sources connected to the network and store the information in the database server, wherein one source includes a social network database and the information includes related individual information; receive a search request from the user interface, search the information stored in the database server in response to the search request and generate a search result based thereon; determine a relevance value for the related individual information; cause the user interface to display the search result and relevance value; and store the search result in the user database as permitted by law.

A pet shelter providing a naturalized habitat for exploiting the instinctual behavior of animals such as dogs, cats and rabbits is disclosed. The pet shelter includes a structure having exterior and interior features of a gastropod shell. The features include an opening defining an entryway configured to receive an animal, a spiral-shaped corridor traversing an interior space of the structure, and a den within the interior space of the structure providing a resting area for an animal. The pet shelter also provides a user the ability to control interior airflow and lighting, and manage pet house training and whelping.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention are related to circuits and methods for generating a reference current (Idc). In an embodiment, a voltage-to-current converter circuit is used to generate the reference current (Idc) in dependence on a reference voltage (Vref) and a precision resistor (R0), wherein Idc=Vref/R0. A capacitor (C0) is used to shunt noise that couples into the voltage-to-current converter. A frequency dependent feedback network is used to compensate for instabilities introduced by the capacitor (C0). The capacitor (C0) can be used to shunt noise that couples into the voltage-to-current converter by connecting the capacitor (C0) in parallel with the precision resistor (R0). The frequency dependent feedback network can be used to compensate for instabilities introduced by the capacitor (C0) by connecting the frequency dependent feedback network between a feedback terminal of an amplifier of the voltage-to-current converter circuit and a terminal of the capacitor (C0).

A protocol proxy relationship is established between a non-enabled host and a protocol-enabled router or other node in a multimedia session including a mobile communications network. A mechanism is provided that allows a non-enabled mobile terminal to communicate a protocol proxy request with a protocol-enabled node along an end-to-end path between the mobile terminal and a remote host. A mechanism is further provided to install information in the protocol enabled node so that it can function as the protocol proxy for the non-enabled mobile terminal.

Novel sulphones of formula I are disclosed: The compounds modulate the processing of amyloid precursor protein by gamma-secretase, and hence are useful in the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
摘要:
Highlighting of content is aggregated across a plurality of users, thus enabling the content to be presented with highlights that represent the collective highlighting of the users. Highlighted content may be presented to the users with varying levels of prominence. Accordingly, depending on the aggregated highlight information, some content may be presented with a highlight that is more or less prominent than highlighting for other content. Prominence data associated with highlighted content may include a score indicative of a strength of the highlight for the highlighted content. A score indicating a stronger highlight causes the highlight to be presented with greater prominence. The score may be incremented, possibly on a weighted bases, to represent the combined highlighting of different users. Highlights may assume many different forms, including visual forms (such as colors, lines, borders, fonts, icons, etc.), audio forms and tactile forms.
摘要:
In order to address the problem of allowing a GGSN 16 of a UMTS core network to work towards multiple Policy Control Functions (PCFs) 17 co-located with P-CSCF nodes 18 using the COPS protocol, a policy control function coordinator (PCF-C) 15 is implemented between the GGSN 16 and the P-CSCF 18. A single COPS connection is established between the GGSN 16 and the PCF-C 15, whilst a COPS connection is established between the PCF-C 15 and each of the P-CSCF nodes 18. Decisions made at the PCFs 17 are routed to the GGSN 16 via the PCF-C 17, and responses generated at the GGSN 16 are routed to the appropriate PCFs 17 via the GGSN 17. This architecture avoids conflicts which might otherwise arise with the COPS protocol.
摘要:
A blender control apparatus and method includes monitoring the operation of a blender motor as a measure of monitoring the quality and results of blending. By connecting a feedback sensor to the motor, it is possible to determine whether a blend process is complete. It is also possible to identify when cavitation is occurring or about to occur. In another aspect, the blender controls are directed to an improved method for portion blending. The method includes a two-step query to the user to determine both a predetermined blender cycle and the number of portions to be blended.
