20090030801 | Permissive search intent registry - A permissive search intent registry allowing intending purchasers to receive special offers and incentives from participating merchants wherein merchants may thereby more effectively target advertising campaigns by gaining access to a pool of intending purchasers, allowing merchants to differentiate between intending purchasers and mere “click-thrus”. An intending purchaser may tag a search, product, or category of products as being related to a purchase intention and thereby automatically be linked to participating merchants via the present invention. Intending purchasers are rewarded for the disclosure regarding their purchase intent and their estimated purchase timeline by receiving special offers, rewards, and/or incentives from the participating merchants that are not readily available to the general public. In this manner, both the purchasers and the merchants receive a benefit through their automatic relationship via the present invention; purchasers receive rewards towards the desired goods or services and merchants may directly market to intending purchasers. | 01-29-2009 |
20090063304 | System and method for searching, identifying, and ranking merchants based upon preselected criteria such as social values - A social purchasing, networking, and ranking method and system for linking consumers and merchants who share similar social values, personal values, and personal contacts or referrals. The present invention may allow both a consumer and merchant to associate specific criteria such as personal values, religious faith, hobbies, interests, affiliations, political party, favorite charitable organization, social responsibility value, and the like with their respective profiles. A conventional electronic network, or web, search by the consumer launches a first graphical user interface module wherein a list of participating merchants is searched for keyword matches, and then ranked according to the preselected criteria such as the social values, personal referrals, and geographic location of the participating merchant. The present invention allows a user (consumer) to guide their transactions and interactions toward merchants sharing similar values, interest, affiliations, and the like, to further rank merchants by personal referral and geographic proximity to the user. Additionally, the specific type and number of shared criteria may be graphically depicted to the consumer via at least one icon displayed in conjunction with the advertisements or other information displayed by each of the respective participating merchants. | 03-05-2009 |

20100104876 | PIEZOELECTRIC COMPOSITE MATERIAL - The present invention provides a method for producing a composite material comprising an array of piezoelectric fibres, the method comprising: (a) providing: (a1) a plurality of first strips comprising a piezoelectric material or a precursor to a piezoelectric material, and a first carrier, and (a2) a plurality of second strips comprising a decomposable material, and a second carrier; (b) placing said pluralities of said first and second strips alternately on top of one another to form a stack in which at least a portion of said first strips is separated from adjacent first strips by a second strip; (c) a heating step comprising heating said stack to remove said first and second carriers and said decomposable material; (d) impregnating said stack with a filler material to form a composite stack of piezoelectric strips; and (e) cutting said stack to form a composite material comprising an array of piezoelectric fibres. In an alternative method the cutting (e) is performed before the heating step (c). The methods allow for the production of fibre arrays with mean fibre spacing of 5 ym or less. | 04-29-2010 |

20110043016 | Adjustable Articulating Crew Seat - A vehicle occupant restraint system includes a seat base pivotally connected to a seat mounting point and seat back pivotally connecting to the seat base. The seat base pivot reside proximal to a forward edge of the seat base and the seat back pivot resides proximal to a rearward edge of the seat base. Each pivot includes a toothed rack, and an engaging member for locking the pivot. The teeth define a radius about the pivots. The engaging members are attached to the seat base and are actuated by levers attached to the seat base. A harness is attached to the seat to prevent injury of an occupant in the event of a unanticipated maneuver, crash, rough terrain, or turbulence. The restraint system comprises a robust mechanism to withstand crash loads and offer sufficient adjustment between sitting and standing positions to accommodate an occupant's duties. | 02-24-2011 |
