Publication number: 20070288314Abstract: A system that enables the search for providers of services or products, for a given user query that's in free text, and typically the services or products are focused on a particular area, such as an industry, a sector, etc. The system thus enables a searcher to submit queries that are substantially similar to those asked to an expert in the area, and get back results that are helpful in their decision making in obtaining services or products. Thus the searcher's experience is substantially similar to that of consulting a human expert. The system employs methods in matching and placing advertisements in relation to user queries and the concepts contained in these queries. Still further, it employs other various methods to enhance the searcher's effectiveness in their decision making. Finally, the system searches for queries that are composes of at least two languages.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Applicant: PLATFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Yu Cao, Feng Lu, Kai Lu, Woodrow Cannon

Publication number: 20070176514Abstract: An electromechanical actuator structure is disclosed to include an electric actuator affixed to a base, a resilient drive member, which has a fixed segment fixedly connected to the electric actuator for synchronous reciprocating movement and a resilient segment extending out of the electric actuator and terminating in a conduction portion, a passive member mounted in the conduction portion of the resilient drive member, and a spring member mounted on the resilient segment of the resilient drive member and forcing the passive member into friction engagement with the conduction portion for enabling the passive member to be moved with the resilient drive member. By means of the amplitude of oscillation produced by the resilient drive member during displacement, the amount of displacement of the passive member is enlarged, and therefore the displacement speed of the passive member is increased and the working frequency of the drive pulse is lowered.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: TAIWAN ADVANCED MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES CORP.Inventors: Sio-Hou Lei, Wen-Sen Pan, Kai-Lu Wang
