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 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 “Distance Formula.” In alternative embodiments, the invention may be used in a search engine.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a collecting a human odor or DNA sample (S), analyzing the sample (S) and then determining a good romantic match 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). In an alternative embodiment, the user obtains a DNA sample using a cheek swab (42) or a spit cup (43). The user (10) writes his or her password on the sample bag (28) or some other container, and then mails it in the return envelope (30). A laboratory analyzes the sample patch or DNA sample (24), and determines a set of genetic attributes (G1) that are associated with the sample (S).

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), such as www.AromaMatch.com.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using an energy emanating device to find a person (17a,b) or an object based on preselected attributes (33) stored in the energy emanating device (10) are disclosed. A network radio (52) enables the user of the device to communicate with others over a wireless network (50) via voice calls, text messaging, instant messaging, e-mails and Internet access.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for finding a match between or among persons (17a, 17b), characteristics and/or objects are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, an electronic device (10a, 10b), such as a handheld radio, is used to find a person who meets criteria specified by a user. In another embodiment, this electronic device (10a, 10b) is programmed with information regarding the genetic attributes (33) of individuals. These individuals are matched by computing a correlation of the genetic attributes of two individuals (33a, 33b). The information regarding these genetic attributes are determined by testing a tissue or fluid sample. In yet another embodiment of the invention, once biological or genetic attributes (33) are determined, a perfume (544) may be manufactured which is based on a unique set of genetic attributes, and which may either fortify the sexual self-confidence and broadcast the attributes of the person who wears the perfume, or may be used to enhance the attractiveness of another person.
