Abstract: A computer system for use in determining the minimum and/or maximum value of a specified subsequence of a sequence of values. The computer system comprises a database that is configured to store a sequence of values, to identify a minimum and/or maximum value of the sequence of values, and to define at least a first subsequence of values and a second subsequence of values immediately following the first subsequence of values, wherein the boundary between the first and second subsequences is located at the position of either the minimum or maximum value of the sequence.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for searching and mapping includes: providing one or more databases that comprise a plurality of profiles representing a plurality of internet searchers; providing client devices that enable the plurality of internet searchers to enter search and map requests; creating a plurality of search spaces representing the plurality of internet searchers, each search space representing a respective internet searcher and comprising a respective search request record containing one or more previous search requests of the respective internet searcher, and each of the one or more previous search requests including one or more keywords entered by the respective internet searcher when performing a search; and receiving a search and map request including one or more keywords identifying one or more internet searchers that have previously entered the received one or more keywords in at least one previous search request from a current internet searcher.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for a user of a network to locate one or more human resources, the method comprising the steps of: providing a record in a database for each of a plurality of human resources, the record including one or more keywords associated with the human resource; receiving from a first user a search request including one or more keywords; searching the records in the database to find matching records associated with one or more human resources with a keyword that matches a keyword in the received search request; and returning search results to the first user, the search results identifying the matching records.

Abstract: A computer system for calculating a quantity from a set of input values. The computer system comprises a database that is configured to store a sequence of first input values xn wherein n=1, 2, . . . i, wherein for any value of n, xn lies between xn+1 and xn?1 in the sequence. Each value of x has associated with it a second input value yn, a conversion value pn that is calculated from yn according to a conversion algorithm, and an output value zn, wherein zn=zn?1+pn. The database is configured to store the plurality of output values zn.
