  • Patent number: 8335747
    Abstract: A client-server architecture provides appraisal services between licensed appraisers and customers. The server includes an appraiser database having a plurality of records, and a query engine for searching the database. Each record corresponds to a licensed appraiser, and includes contact information and information regarding one or more locations in which the appraiser has expertise. An appraiser-client is accessible to the server through contact information stored in the appraiser database. The server includes a web hosting module that interfaces with the query engine. A customer-client communicates with the server, and orders a valuation of a residence. Videos, photos and architectural plans may be attached to the order. The query engine searches the appraiser database for an appraiser-client whose location information matches the address of the residence.

  • Publication number: 20030149615
    Abstract: A method and system for performance-energetics estimation is provided. The system includes an input module, a transformation module and a core processor (core engine). The input module is an interactive module to collect individual data. The transformation module transforms the inputs into standard forms to provide them to the core engine. The core engine executes algorithms and equations based on basic laws to estimate individual parameters and provide a performance-energetic profile for the individual. The values of the parameters represent particular performance-energetic characteristics of the individual. The parameters (variables) are defined in universal standards. The outputs of the core engine can be utilized for creating unique training and fitness programs for the individual.
