Abstract: A system includes one or more radio frequency (RF) emitters configured to transmit RF energy into a specified area in order to inactivate one or more specified microorganisms in the specified area. The system also includes a control system configured to control the one or more RF emitters in order to adjust the RF energy transmitted by the one or more RF emitters. The control system is configured to obtain information identifying different types of microorganisms that are or might be present in the specified area over time and to adjust the RF energy transmitted by the one or more RF emitters in order to target the different types of microorganisms for inactivation over time.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided to dynamically search for available Web services by persistently searching a distributed multi-level UDDI registry chain, interrogating their published technical specifications and enabling the consumer to find, bind, and invoke the desired Web service in real-time and without intervention by the consumer. The search criteria includes identifying candidate published services that fall within an acceptable margin of error based on information previously published within a consumer service profile. The measure of conformance between the registry semantic map and consumer service profile is parameterized and chosen by the consumer in advance. The service profile includes an XML schema which exposes consumer profile metadata and corresponding information sets used by a rules engine for pattern matching purposes.
