20080197205	TANK-TANKLESS WATER HEATER - A tank-tankless water heater includes primary and secondary heat exchangers, and a combustor for the production of flue gases. In operation, water is first heated as the water and flue gases flow through primary heat exchanger. The water flows into the tank where it is stored and again heated as the flue gases flow through the secondary heat exchanger. A pump moves the water from the secondary heat exchanger, through the primary heat exchanger, and back to the secondary heat exchanger for storage as needed to maintain the stored water at a desired temperature. Water is drawn from the secondary heat exchanger during initial demand to provide a ready source of hot water, and the hot water supply is maintained by the primary heat exchanger during sustained hot water draws. The primary heat exchanger may include a temperature or temperature differential control system.	08-21-2008

20100175111	Computer-Implemented Method for Obtaining a Minimum Biclique Cover in a Bipartite Dataset - A method includes providing a bipartite graph having vertices of a first type, vertices of a second type, and a plurality of edges, wherein each edge joins a vertex of the first type with a vertex of the second type. A unipartite edge dual graph is generated from the bipartite graph, and a minimum clique partition of the edge dual graph is recursively determined. A biclique is then created in the bipartite graph corresponding to each clique in the minimum clique partition of the edge dual graph.	07-08-2010

20090119186	Apparatus and Method for Ordering - The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for ordering an article from a plurality of articles. The apparatus or the method merely has a manageable set of identifiers. These identifiers are added to a given audio/video signal which advertises a particular article and is broadcast. If a person receiving the audio/video signal wishes to purchase the relevant article, this article can be identified by the identifier. Preferably, this identifier is a colored marker. Since the cardinality of the set of identifiers is kept relatively manageable, a plurality of articles is provided with the same identifier, that is to say the same color marker. The apparatus or the method is able to distinguish between articles with the same identifier by comparing the time at which the article was advertised with the time at which the order was received.	05-07-2009
