Publication number: 20050251530Abstract: A method for storing a user evaluation of distributed content comprising an Evaluation Program (EP) that creates a user session when a user accesses distributed content. The user evaluation is saved with other information such as the time and date of the evaluation, the user's personal information, and the navigation path the user used to access the distributed content page. The EP records the user's navigation of the distributed content in the user session. The EP gives the user the opportunity to rate distributed content. The EP saves the user's evaluation with the user session data and external stimuli data. The EP closes the user session when the user leaves the distributed content. The EP reopens the user session when the user returns to the distributed content.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2004Publication date: November 10, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Handy-Bosma, Kevin Holubar, Shannon Kerlick, Dan Mandelstein, Arvind Nair, Mei Selvage, Thomas Storey, Sudhandhira Viswanathan

Publication number: 20050216329Abstract: A method for capturing a user evaluation of distributed content comprising an Evaluation Program (EP). The user evaluation is saved with other information such as the time and date of distributed content access, the user's personal information, and the navigation path the user used to access the distributed content page. The EP creates a user session that records the user's navigation of the distributed content. The EP uses incentive programs to entice the user to rate the distributed content page. The EP gives the user the opportunity to rate distributed content if the distributed content page has a content rating window and if the user meets the minimum evaluation criteria for the distributed content page. The EP displays a content rating window allowing the user to rate the distributed content page. The EP saves the user's evaluation with the user session data and closes the user session when the user leaves the distributed content.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2004Publication date: September 29, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Handy-Bosma, Kevin Holubar, Shannon Kerlick, Dan Mandelstein, Arvind Nair, Mei Selvage, Thomas Storey, Sudhandhira Viswanathan

Patent number: 4006287Abstract: An electrical conductor particularly suitable for resistance welding equipment comprises an even number and at least four bunches of helically wound electrically conductive strands arranged in side-by-side contacting relation with a hollow central passage through the conductor and wherein the strands of each bunch are twisted in the opposite direction to the strands of the two bunches in contact therewith so as to provide zero electrical wear points in the cross section of the conductor. In one embodiment there are six bunches of strands surrounded by a further twelve bunches of helically wound strands arranged in side-by-side contacting relation with the strands of each outer bunch twisted in the opposite direction to the strands of the two outer bunches in contact therewith.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1973Date of Patent: February 1, 1977Assignee: Delta Metal Electronics LimitedInventor: John Thomas Storey
