| 20090150283 | MONEY FUND BANKING SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE BANKS AND/OR RATES - Providing interest to clients' deposited funds without limitation on the number of demand withdrawals from deposit accounts is accomplished by an administration system that keeps all of the records for the clients' deposits and withdrawals, calculates the total of the deposits and withdrawals for all clients, and uses the calculation to determine whether funds are deposited to or withdrawn from one or more deposit accounts in which all clients' deposit funds are kept. Clients can make unlimited withdrawals, such as by check, credit card, debit card, or electronic transfer, through the administrator. By placing the administrator as the holder of the deposit account(s), exemptions to the limitation on earning interest in demand accounts is facilitated; additionally, dispersing the deposit account funds among multiple banks allows the client to obtain FDIC insurance for all of the deposited funds, which may amount to insurance in excess of the statutory maximum allowed (presently $100,000.00). | 06-11-2009 |

| 20120059850 | COMPUTERIZED FACE PHOTOGRAPH-BASED DATING RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM - A computer vision dating system analyzes combinations of face features of the system's user's photographs and recommends potential dating partners. A user selects preferred and not-preferred faces from a sample of other user's pictures. The system analyzes the features of the preferred and not-preferred faces comparing the combinations of features in both categories with the features of other users in the database to find the users that most match the collective features preferred by the user. These pictures are presented to the user. Data from the user's profile input are analyzed to automatically generate the sample pictures from which the user selects his/her preferences. As the users are presented pictures after their sample selection, they can continue to select and reject pictures allowing the system to learn and refine the combinations of features and better locate those that most conform to a user's most preferred photo images. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20080262732 | METHOD OF DETECTING, LOCATING, AND CLASSIFYING LIGHTNING - There is discloses a new method for identifying an electromagnetic signal having a known waveform. The method includes using a lightning matched filter receiver having a bank of filters matched to nominal but arbitrary lightning waveforms for detecting lightning. The use of a lightning matched filter receiver facilitates detection of lightning discharges below the noise level. Positioning three or more monitoring stations at different spaced apart geographic locations where each monitoring station has a lightning matched filter receiver where the filters are matched to nominal but arbitrary lightning waveforms can be used to detect and determine the location of a lightning discharge. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100007558 | Method of Lightning Location Using Time Difference of Arrival Technology with Auto Correlation - There is disclosed a system for identifying a source location of an electromagnetic signal having a known waveform. Radio receiving equipment located at three of more monitoring stations receives and demodulates a radio frequency signal from a common source. A time stamp generator applies a time stamp to each block of N digital data samples derived from the received radio frequency signal at each monitoring station. A GPS timing signal can be used to synchronize the time stamp generator in each monitoring station. Further, replica generating hardware and/or software at each monitoring station periodically synchronously generates a replica waveform. An autocorrelation processor at each monitoring station determines a time offset between an occurrence of the known waveform in the signal, and an occurrence of the replica waveform at each monitoring station. The system also includes communication devices at each monitoring station for communicating the time offset from each monitoring station to a central processor which calculates a position of the source location using the time offset communicated from each monitoring station. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20110113322 | EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE RENDERING AND LAYOUT - Extensible markup language layout and rendering behaviors are disclosed. A core engine provides existing layout and rendering behaviors for a predetermined markup language, such as HTML. External components are designed to provide extended layout and/or rendering behaviors, in addition to the behaviors of the core engine. A mechanism, which can be part of the core engine, extends the existing behaviors with the behaviors of the external components. The behaviors of the external components can participate with the behaviors of the core engine. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20100159135 | PROCESS FOR IN SITU GENERATION OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE OR HYDROGEN SELENIDE GAS USING A SOLID PRECURSOR - The present disclosure relates to novel methods and apparatuses for generating hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen selenide gas from decomposition of a solid precursor. In some embodiments, the generated gas is cooled so as to condense a by-product of the decomposition and thereby increasing the purity of the gas. In some embodiments, the generated hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen selenide gas is used to prepare metal sulfide or metal selenide films. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20080274282 | Fabrication method of size-controlled, spatially distributed nanostructures by atomic layer deposition - A method of growing spatially-separated and size-controlled particles on substrate surfaces is provided. The method utilizes chemical modification of the substrate surface, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) system, providing a modified layer to the substrate surface and providing an ALD material for nanoparticle deposition. The method induces a Volmer-Weber growth method, where islands of the nanoparticles are formed on the surface. The modified layer controls a number of nucleation sites on the surface, where controlling the number of ALD cycles limits an amount of deposited the material for discrete the nanoparticles. The modified layer can include self-assembled monolayers, modified hydrophobicity of the surface, H-terminated surfaces, and varying functional groups within the modified layer, where thermally attached alkenes, photochemically attached alkenes, thermally attached alkynes or photochemically attached alkynes are attached to the H-terminated surfaces, and the density of the nucleation sites of the nanoparticles are thereby managed. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090218311 | Layer-structured fuel cell catalysts and current collectors - A method of fabricating a layer-structured catalysts at the electrode/electrolyte interface of a fuel cell is provided. The method includes providing a substrate, depositing an electrolyte layer on the substrate, depositing a catalyst bonding layer to the electrolyte layer, depositing a catalyst layer to the catalyst bonding layer, and depositing a microstructure stabilizing layer to the catalyst layer, where the bonding layer improves adhesion of the catalyst onto the electrolyte. The catalyst and a current collector is a porous catalyst and a fully dense current collector, or a fully dense catalyst and a fully dense current collector structure layer. A nano-island catalyst and current collector structure layer is deposited over the catalyst and current collector or over the bonding layer, which is deposited over the electrolyte layer. The fuel cell can be hydrogen-fueled solid oxide, solid oxide with hydrocarbons, solid sensor, solid acid, polymer electrolyte or direct methanol. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090314342 | Self-organizing nanostructured solar cells - A method of forming a self-organized nanostructured solar cell is provided. The method includes depositing a semiconductor film on a substrate, where the semiconductor film includes a mixture of at least two constituents, then activating the semiconductor film during or after the deposition. Here, the activated semiconductor film self-assembles into an organized nanostructure geometry on the substrate, where the organized nanostructure includes a first structure of the at least one constituent having a first polarity and a second structure of the at least one constituent having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity. Further, the invention includes depositing a contact on a top surface of the organized nanostructure geometry. | 12-24-2009 |
