Abstract: A description file that includes multiple statements written in a customizable, tag-based interpreted language for processing data contained in the messages is disclosed. A data shaper translates and then executes each statement in the description file. The customizable, tag-based interpreted language, defines the operational behavior of the data shaper. The operational behavior shapes data contained in the messages to produce publishable matter suitable for online presentation.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a cylindrical or other suitably shaped filter container for insertion into a user's nares to filter inhaled air to remove airborne items. The filter container has two open ends forming a container surrounding filter material. In a currently preferred embodiment of the present invention, polypropylene may be used to form the container or tube, other suitable material such as rubber or other softer material may also be used. The present disclosure further includes a respiration mask having a peripheral seal composed of treated and fluffed polypropylene fibers. An edge seal according to the present disclosure lowers the respiratory resistance of a mask and improves the filtration efficiency. Treated, fluffed, polypropylene may also be used to form a respiration mask, such a mask may also include an edge seal to improve filtration and comfort.

Abstract: A set of services or a collection of components are provided that work together to process information for online presentation, such as at Web sites. At least one service is provided upon start-up, with customizable, tag-based instruction files, which are interpretable by the service to process stabile content, live content, or both. Because the processing of stabile content, which is not transitory like live content, and the processing of live content, which can change drastically, may be separately handled by two different services, live content can be processed for online presentation more quickly, thereby reducing the instances in which users are unlikely to be presented with information that has become stale or irrelevant.
