20090187473	SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECRUITING ONLINE - An automated recruitment system can use a variety of techniques to provide information for assisting in recruitment and selection of candidates for various activities. For example, predetermined parameters indicative of future performance for a given activity can be identified and collected electronically from candidates through a candidate portal. The collected information can be graded according to one or more of the predetermined parameters, or according to parameters derived from the one or more collected parameters, with results stored in a searchable database. The grading can be used to predict future performance of a candidate in a given activity, or more particularly, for a particular role within the activity (e.g., a baseball pitcher). A recruiter can access stored information through a portal by performing a structured search, using filters (e.g., geography, gender, age, academic performance) to identify one or more target candidates for a given position.	07-23-2009

20090200238	TWIN TANK WATER-ON-WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM - A water-on-water filtration system that includes a filter member and two storage vessels. The system includes a plurality of valves that are controlled to place a first of the storage vessels in a fill state in which the first storage vessel is being filled with filtered water, and concurrently place the second of the storage vessels in a service state in which filtered water held in the second storage vessel is delivered as an output of the filtration system. The filtration system can be configured to supply a constant output of filtered water to meet a constant demand while using a relatively small filter member and relatively small storage vessels.	08-13-2009

20100094644	Microbilling using a trust management system - The present invention provides a microbilling system that integrates with existing billing systems and existing devices. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the devices store digital certificates with short-lived expiration dates and specifying transaction limits, preferably using a trust management system. A provisioning agent periodically (e.g., once a day) issues the certificates over a secure channel to the devices. When conducting a purchase transaction, the devices exchange certificates via a communication channel (that need not be secure) and the purchasing device issues a digitally signed electronic check which is periodically deposited over an advantageously secure channel with a clearing service. The present invention enables microbilling transactions by embedding liability in the certificates.	04-15-2010
