| 20100114702 | ASK/RESPOND AFFINITY GROUP REFERRAL METHOD AND APPARATUS - An ask/respond affinity group referral method and apparatus comprises a community of individuals having an implied social contract, where the individuals are affiliated with each other to provide assistance and help to each other. In such community, the individuals do not know each other, but are joined together to help each other around a common interest. In such community, any individual may ask everybody else a question and the others can each respond. The community is specifically directed to mothers in every phase of their relationship, i.e. grandmothers, single mothers, mothers with husbands in Iraq, mothers with children, mothers without children, et cetera and is, therefore, directed to all kinds of phases and special needs of mothers. An interactive timeline tool serves to record information about their children, to anticipate future child development needs, and to collaborate with other members of the ask/respond affinity group having similar parenting experiences. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20110282863 | USE OF VIRTUAL DATABASE TECHNOLOGY FOR INTERNET SEARCH AND DATA INTEGRATION - This invention discloses how Virtual Database Technology can be used to make disparate data appear to be (or act as) the sort of uniform data one expects to find within a single relational database. In particular, we show how to process queries similar to those one might use in a database, even though the underlying data may be missing some of the capabilities that are required by normal databases. Whereas traditional databases require that all the tuples in a table be stored, our approach allows queries over tables where the tuples are generated as required from the data sources, and may not be stored anywhere. We show how such facilities can be used as a new foundation for Internet search. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20110313889 | STREAMING DOWNLOADABLE DISC JOCKEY MIXED MUSIC - The present invention includes certain features such as a business method for a professional disc jockey company to sell streaming music that he has professionally “mixed” or “transitioned” over the Internet. This downloadable streaming music disc jockey service acts perfectly for customers that want the sound of a disc jockey, without the expense of a live disc jockey. In practicing the method, the disc jockey company would first determine highly sellable popular genres of music, such as Rock and Roll, Hip Hop, Country, Jazz, and the like. The disc jockey responsible for the project would then run the selection through a “mixing” software to provide a set of music that would sound just like a live disc jockey was playing the music. Once the music is compiled and transitioned, it is uploaded to a computer server where potential customers can make a selection amongst the pre-recorded and pre-mixed music selections, and the customer then may access their desired music mixes by downloading the mixed music on a per-hour-block basis, purchasing, on a subscription basis, where their music is accessed on a computer, phone or other device capable of downloading and accessing, or customers can purchase their music on a monthly basis, depending on the volume of music selections that they have used, but not stored, on their computers. Customers may make their own musical selections and have them transformed into a set that sounds like it has been professionally “mixed”. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20110238167 | METHODS OF CONDITIONING SHEET BIOPROSTHETIC TISSUE - Methods for the conditioning of bioprosthetic material employ bovine pericardial membrane. A laser directed at the fibrous surface of the membrane and moved relative thereto reduces the thickness of the membrane to a specific uniform thickness and smoothes the surface. The wavelength, power and pulse rate of the laser are selected which will smooth the fibrous surface as well as ablate the surface to the appropriate thickness. Alternatively, a dermatome is used to remove a layer of material from the fibrous surface of the membrane. Thinning may also employ compression. Stepwise compression with cross-linking to stabilize the membrane is used to avoid damaging the membrane through inelastic compression. Rather, the membrane is bound in the elastic compressed state through addition cross-linking. The foregoing several thinning techniques may be employed together to achieve strong thin membranes. The finally thinned membrane may then be treated by capping of calcification nucleation sites and borohydride reduction. The leaflets may be formed to have more than one region of uniform thickness, such as a thicker peripheral sewing region. | 09-29-2011 |
