| 20100042594 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INDEXING INFORMATION AND PROVIDING RESULTS FOR A SEARCH INCLUDING OBJECTS HAVING PREDETERMINED ATTRIBUTES - A system and method for providing at least one search result responsive to receiving a search query comprising at least one search query term, includes receiving the search query; locating at least one record containing at least one search query term; displaying a text representation of each of the records containing at least one search query term; and displaying a representation of an object in relation with the text representation for each record that includes an object comprising at least one predetermined attribute. According to another embodiment of the invention, a method for indexing records in an index of an information network, includes the acts of: receiving a record; searching the record for an indication that an object comprising at least one specified attribute is to be displayed with the record; finding the indication; creating a representation of the object; storing the representation in association with the record to which it corresponds; and making an entry for the record in the index, said entry indicating the object to be displayed with the record. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20120016863 | ENRICHING METADATA OF CATEGORIZED DOCUMENTS FOR SEARCH - Methods for enriching metadata associated with a document that is categorized in a document category are described. Documents are pre-categorized within a document category. Uniform resource locaters (URL) that are related to a document category are identified and linked to the document category. Indications of tokens and relationships between the tokens and the URLs are received. The tokens are linked to the URLs. The tokens are propagated to the document categories and to the documents therein based on linking between the token, URL, and document category. As such the document category, and documents therein, are provided with metadata that is descriptive thereof. The documents and their associated metadata tokens are useable to generate a searchable index of the documents. The linking between the tokens, URLs, and categories is also useable to identify tokens that are too specific, too general, or documents that are miscategorized. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20100043791 | HUMIDIFIER WITH INTERNAL HEATING ELEMENT AND HEATER PLATE - A respiratory humidifier chamber for use with a breathing assistance apparatus is described. The chamber comprises a water-tight vessel having an inlet for receiving gases from the breathing assistance apparatus, and an outlet through which heated humidified gases exit the vessel for delivery to a patient. The chamber has a partition which divides the chamber into upstream and downstream sub-chambers. The sub-chambers are separated by the partition except for an aperture which passes through the partition and allows gaseous communication between the sub-chambers. The downstream sub-chamber includes a heater base which heats a volume of water contained within it The aperture is located above the volume of water. The upstream sub-chamber contains an internal heater which heats gases passing through it from the inlet to the aperture. At least part of the internal heater is located immediately adjacent the aperture. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20110114098 | NASAL PILLOWS WITH HIGH VOLUME BYPASS FLOW AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A fan unit which in use forms part of a gases supply unit, the gases supply unit suitable for use as part of a system for providing heated humidified gases to a user, the fan unit having a casing that has an inlet aperture and an outlet passage, the outlet passage including an exit aperture, the fan unit also including a fan which is located inside the casing and which is adapted for connection to a motor to drive rotation of the fan in use, the fan drawing gases into the casing via the inlet aperture, and forcing these gases out of the casing via the outlet passage as a gases stream, the outlet passage further including at least one bypass vent hole independent of the exit aperture and arranged at an angle to the path of the gases stream through the outlet passage. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20100072143 | WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM - The invention provides a method for reducing aquatic organic contamination present in a volume of water, the method comprising: pumping the water from an open body of water contaminated with aquatic organisms through a reactor unit including a conduit system of varying diameter such that the pressure head in the water is caused to fall to a level below atmospheric pressure, and so to cavitate, at a point in the system by increasing the velocity head of the water at that point. The invention also includes apparatus for use in the method. | 03-25-2010 |
