20120173397 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING USER DATA FROM THIRD PARTIES - A method and system for obtaining user data from a third party whereby a user of a data management system agrees to allow the data management system to obtain user data associated with the user from a third party target site computing system. A distributed client is then implemented on, or otherwise associated with, one or more user computing systems used by the one or more users to access the target site computing system. A data management system provider computing system then makes a request to the distributed client, and the user computing system, to obtain desired data from the target site computing system. The distributed client(s) then accesses/access, directs the user computing system(s) to access, or waits for the user(s) to next access, the target site computing system. The target site computing system is then securely accessed by the user computing system, thereby by-passing any selective blocking/failure filters, and the requested data is accessed and provided to the data management system provider computing system. | 07-05-2012 |

20140289168 | TECHNIQUE FOR PRICING A SOLAR POWER SYSTEM - A configuration engine traverses sequential levels of a decision tree in order to iteratively refine a configuration for a solar power system. At each level of the decision tree, the configuration engine determines the outcome of a design decision based on computing the result of a value function. The configuration engine explores configurations that optimize the value function result compared to other configurations, and may also discard less optimal configurations. When a current configuration is considered less optimal than a previous configuration generated at a previous level, the configuration engine discards the current configuration and re-traverses the decision tree starting with the previous configuration. | 09-25-2014 |

Additionally, the charged particle source comprises at least one first electrode configured to accelerate charged particles and at least one light emitting device providing a light beam. The light beam is focused to a focus point in the ionization area, specifically, to a focus volume such that the ionization area is at least partly positioned in the focus volume. The ionization area is arranged between the tip apex and the first electrode. The distance between the ionization area and the tip apex may be from 0.1 nm to 1 nm. | 04-11-2013 |

20110062686 | INTERNAL PANELING PART - An internal paneling part conceals a passage area of an airbag. The internal paneling part includes a planar carrier and a textile fabric covering at least part of the passage area. The textile fabric includes at least one initial weakening for tearing along a defined tear line to release the airbag. The defined tear line runs along an X direction, with the textile fabric having a further tearing force in the X direction that is less than in any other direction. | 03-17-2011 |
