  • Publication number: 20150127404
    Abstract: System of matching algorithms for pairing parties wherein one party seeks and consumes knowledge and the other party provides knowledge by means of real-time knowledge transfer sessions conducted via video communications and multiple media. Knowledge can be transferred through collaborative problem solving, questions-and-answers, tutorials, structured sessions, and unstructured sessions. The transfer of knowledge can take place on a pay-for-service basis or by means of knowledge-gifting. The system can accommodate one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many assemblages of knowledge sharing participates. The system includes post-session ratings of each party by and of the other party, building cumulative ratings scores, supplemented with video and voice and text reviews with the resultant data woven into an algorithmic solution for matching participants in future sessions with optimally favorable outcomes, based on the quantifiably expressed feedback of all session participants.

  • Patent number: 8279030
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of electrical, mechanical and thermal isolation of superconductive magnet coils includes a superconductive magnet for environments wherein large differences of electrical potential between the interior superconductive winding and the exterior of the device, on the order of 103to 106 Volts may exist. The methods and apparatus also includes insulation, cooling, and structural elements such that the interior of the device is capable of maintaining cryogenic temperatures needed for superconductivity, even in the presence of high heat flux incident on the overall winding housing. Finally, a device includes structural elements for support against gravity and other forces exerted on the assembly that include expansion jointing and stabilization to minimize warping or bending of the assembly due to temperature gradients.

  • Publication number: 20070003350
    Abstract: A ribbon identification system detects a digitally encoded tract comprised of radially printed bands of dark and light areas positioned on a ribbon spool that fits on a media printing device. Each type and length of ribbon to be used is associated with a specific and unique digitally encoded tract. When the ribbon spool is positioned correctly on the printing device, the digitally encoded tract is detected, and the control program of the printing device sets the parameters associated with that ribbon automatically ensuring proper printing. Through the digitally encoded tract, the ribbon spool is uniquely identified so that once it has been determined by the printing device's control program that the ribbon has been depleted, that ribbon spool, if reinstalled on the same printing device at a later time, will be recognized as a depleted ribbon, and the printing device will not function.
