Abstract: A method and system for assembling building blocks of colloidal particles and also for shaping of colloids for self-assembly for manufacturing, processing and formation of compositions of matter. A first type of particle is selected as a “key” particle constructed to mate with a “lock” particle, the binding arising from depletion forces. A variety of shapes can be used to carry out this method and system to create compositions of matter. Colloids can be shaped by controlled deformation of multiphase colloid particles.

Abstract: Embodiments include a method for selling targeted web-based advertising. The method includes receiving an advertisement from a first user; receiving one or more targeted words from the first user; determining one or more contextual words from among the one or more targeted words, such that each of the one or more contextual words have two or more contextual senses; sending to the first user each of the two or more contextual senses for each of the one or more contextual words; receiving from the first user one or more contextual sense selections for each of the one or more contextual words; and receiving from the first user a payment or promise for payment based on one or more predetermined uses of the advertisement when the advertisement is displayed with one or more web pages.

Abstract: Embodiments include a method for providing two or more search results. The method can include receiving at least one search parameter from a search query of a first user. The method also can include determining potential search results based upon the at least one search parameter. The method further can include determining one or more related searches from one or more second users. The method also can include determining two or more search results at least partially based upon the at least one search parameter and the one or more related searches. The method additionally can include determining that the two or more search results are related to a topic. The method further can include organizing the two or more search results based upon the topic. The method also can include displaying the two or more search results to the first user. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Some embodiments concern a method for organizing two or more search results. The method includes: receiving at least one search parameter from a user; using at least one computer processor to determine a search type based upon the at least one search parameter; using the at least one computer processor to determine potential search results based upon the at least one search parameter; using the at least one computer processor to determine one or more qualitative traits of the potential search results; using the at least one computer processor to organize the two or more search results based upon the search type and the one or more qualitative traits of the potential search results; and displaying the two or more search results to the user. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A system having a delivery visualization module configured to allow a user to review one or more prioritization parameters and prior advertisement delivery data, the delivery visualization module is further configured to allow the user to adjust the one or more prioritization parameters; a yield tracking module configured to allow the user to enter information into the system related to the one or more prioritization parameters and the prior advertisement delivery data; an optimization module configured to create an ordered list of two or more advertisement networks based on the one or more prioritization parameters; and a delivery module configured to determine, based on the ordered list of the two or more advertisement networks, at least one advertising network of the two or more advertisement networks to provide at least one advertisement to display at a first web page of a web site. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A liquid/solid separator system mounted on a mobile cart and connected to a process tank for reducing the rate at which fluids are consumed in manufacturing processes. The system may include automation and also may include a shear-stepped screen including tilted wire wedge wires arranged at varying cant angles. The system may include a fine screen basket received in a settling box.

Abstract: A spark suppression device includes a plurality of blades or vanes that are mounted transversely in a duct of an air handling/dust collection system communicating with a spark source. A controlled flow of air carries sparks from the spark source through the spark suppression device. Sparks are suppressed by turbulence created in the airstream from the blades that have a downstream curvature. The turbulence strips away a hot air bubble surrounding a spark ember, thereby effectively cooling the spark and significantly reducing combustion at the spark ember. Other attributes of the invention contributing to spark suppression include an overlapping arrangement of the blades that results in high-velocity impact of the sparks against the blades, thereby breaking up the spark embers into smaller embers, and creation of rapid increased pressure within the spark suppression device that also helps to strip away the spark ember from the surrounding hot air bubble.
