  • Publication number: 20150186468
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using an energy emanating device that finds a person (17a,b) object or system based on preselected attributes (33) stored in the energy emanating device (10) are disclosed. Searching Methods Using Genetic Responsivity Measurements are used to compare the attributes (33) of individuals, and a match is determined based upon the correlation of these attributes (33). The matching is accomplished using a variety of algorithms, including a “Genetic Responsivity Measurement Formula.” In alternative embodiments, the invention may be used in a search engine.

  • Publication number: 20140172498
    Abstract: A Relationship Prediction System Using External Databases for providing a relationship prediction based on the correlation of personal characteristics and the analysis of genetic characteristics is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first person supplies descriptions of their own personal characteristics, as well as descriptions of the personal characteristics of their ideal match, to a website. The first person also furnishes an odor, tissue or fluid sample to a test facility, where genetic characteristics are analyzed and determined. A relationship match is then generated based on both a combination of both a positive correlation of the personal characteristics of the first person and second person, and a measured dissimilarity between the sequence of genetic characteristics of the first person and second person. In one embodiment, personal characteristics are obtained from one or more external webpages.

  • Publication number: 20120315221
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a human sample (S), analyzing the sample (S) and then determining a match with a member of the opposite sex is disclosed. In one embodiment, a customer purchases an AromaMatch™ Test Kit (14), which comprises a bottle of cleaning solution (20), a cotton ball (22) a sample patch (24), a sample bag (28) and a mailing envelope (30). The user (10) opens the kit (14), cleans a patch of skin somewhere on his or her body, and then applies the patch (24). After wearing the patch (24) for an appropriate time period, the patch (24) is removed, and placed in the sample bag (28). The user (10) writes his or her password on the sample bag (28), and then mails it in the return envelope (30). A laboratory analyzes the sample patch (24), and determines a set of genetic attributes (G1) that are associated with the sample (S). The user (10) receives an analysis report by mail, or views the results of the analysis on a website (18).
