20090119264METHOD AND SYSTEM OF ACCESSING INFORMATION - A system and method of associating various communication services with a user ID is described. Using the association of a user ID with various communication service(s) and/or device(s), information related to a search request may be provided via any or all devices and/or communication services which are associated with the user ID.05-07-2009
20110208727ELECTRONIC PREVIOUS SEARCH RESULTS LOG - A method for providing a viewable search results log to allow determination of the effectiveness of search strategies and sharing results of searches with others. The search results log reveals search strategies utilized by a human searcher with which the search results log is associated. The search results produced by at least one human searcher are stored in the search results log and presented according to a view format selected by a viewer. The search results log can be interrelated to other systems such as a blog or a search engine.08-25-2011

20110219667LIPID-BASED WAX COMPOSITIONS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF FAT BLOOM AND METHODS OF MAKING - Lipid-based wax compositions and their methods of making are provided for compositions substantially free of fat bloom. The compositions comprise approximately 7-80 percent by weight triacylglycerides and approximately 20-93 percent by weight monoacylglycerides and diacylglycerides combined. The methods comprise blending the monoacylglycerides, diacylglycerides, and triacylglycerides in the lipid-based wax composition by heating the lipid-based wax composition at a sufficiently high temperature to destroy substantially all crystal structure within the lipid-based wax composition. The methods further comprise pouring the lipid-based wax composition into a mold or a container having a surface and a core, wherein the pouring is conducted at a temperature at least 15° C. greater than the congeal point of the lipid-based wax composition. The methods further comprise cooling the lipid-based wax composition under conditions sufficient to cool the core to at least 5° C. below the congeal point of the lipid-based wax composition in approximately 30-90 minutes.09-15-2011
