Abstract: A device (adaptor) for wearing a pocket watch on the wrist is disclosed. The adaptor consists of a plate with rods (hooks) and lugs. A pocket watch is mounted on the adaptor and fixed securely with rods (hooks). Watch wristband is attached to lugs to fasten the plate with attached pocket watch to a wrist to wear like a regular wristwatch. This is achieved without alterations to the pocket watch case, and the watches of different size could be used in the same adaptor.

Abstract: A method and decision support system for optimal allocation of expendable resources in any type of repetitive business transaction with resource-dependant effectiveness and use of a-posteriori information i.e., internet marketing (IM) transaction, in which the computerized system: creates the list of IM providers to be considered, contacts them over the Internet, and collects from them the a-priori data about elementary marketing operations (EMO) available and resource-dependant effectiveness of these EMO; chooses the optimal resource allocation decision making rules (DMR) for EMO to be implemented; implements the EMO, evaluates its results through direct or indirect Internet contact with marketing addressees who responded for the EMO thus collecting a-posteriori data on EMO effectiveness; and checks the current status of resources available and proceeds according to recommendations of optimal DMR chosen previously to the next EMO if resources are available, or ends the current IM operation otherwise.

Abstract: A method and a system for computerized creating, maintaining, updating, and querying inventory database for the locations and the objects with time-dependent and time-independent attributes that presumes the evaluation of actual preferences for the customers (users, owners of the inventory) on the basis of interactive contacts with them over the Internet, supplying the customer with the necessary software tools for querying the said inventory database and for requesting the irregular out-of-schedule updates, creation lists of locations and locations' attributes, lists of objects and objects' attributes, generation the particular values for objects' controllable inventorial time-dependent and time-independent attributes, registration of particular values for said locations' and objects' attributes, thus creating current sections of inventory database, transmission the said sections into central data warehouse, determination of regular updating periodicity, implementation of regular and irregular updates, and p

Abstract: A method and a system for implementing a business transaction over the Internet that involves search, negotiations and legal closing with multiple participants (i.e., real estate business) in which the computerized system communicates with potential participants consecutively, creates mathematical approximations for their multidimensional utility and flexibility functions based on information voluntarily supplied by the participants, organizes the search of admissible items at preliminary defined search domains, generates the fair price evaluations for each item, which the participants are interested in, based on statistical models of the market situation, organizes the process of interactive negotiations between participants at preliminary defined negotiation domains with the use of fair price evaluations and Pareto analysis, delivers to the participants the possibilities to sign the contract electronically and to finish the total process with due diligence and legal closing online.
