Abstract: The invention relates to a grill apparatus (1), in the lower part (2) of which there is provided a heat conducting cone (4) which is held in a central position and in which an adjustment cone is rotatably mounted. Both cones (4, 7) have heat conducting means (10) in the form of openings (41, 71). By means of a relative rotation of the two cones (4, 7) with respect to one another, said openings go from congruently completely open to completely closed and are adjustable to any intermediate position, whereby a heat conduction with more top heat or more bottom heat can be directed onto the object being grilled.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a home maintenance recommendation tool that is incorporated into a user's online financial account. The home maintenance recommendation tool, generally provides a user the ability to review, edit, submit, and track home maintenance repairs needed on the one or more properties owned by the user. The home maintenance recommendation tool receives information related to repairs that the property might need through information that is captured when the mortgage is originated, purchased, or serviced, or through purchases made by the user at a business using certain financial accounts. The home maintenance recommendation tool also provides the user the ability to search, identify, receive, and purchase products and services needed to make the suggested repairs through businesses that are strategic partners with the financial institution using the user's online financial account.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented method and system for providing user requested music. The method comprises of receiving user input that defines a plurality of music search parameters. Some of the music search parameters may describe music content attributes. Thereafter, the process searches for music samples based upon the user provided search parameters. The process then presents music samples to the user. The method also determines if the user wants to buy any of the presented music samples, a set of music samples similar to the music purchased and/or a set of music samples different than the music bought.

Abstract: A free spinning rim assembly is provided which is mountable to a first and second face of a motorcycle wheel including an axle shaft through its axis of rotation. The spinning rim assembly includes a spinner, which rotates about and is positioned circumspect the axle shaft, in proximity to the wheel face. The spinner rotates around the axle shaft at a different angular speed relative to the wheel on which it is mounted. The spinning rim assembly includes a spinning rim having a central bore, which is supported by a friction reducing means positioned in the spinner central bore. The friction reducing means is supported by a retaining means, which is further supported by the wheel hub.

Abstract: A method for creating a database that allows content based searching in the music domain is provided. The process provides music samples to music listeners, wherein the music listeners include a plurality of average music listeners and a plurality of expert music listeners. The process further provides a plurality of questions to the average music listeners and the expert music listeners; wherein the plurality of questions require a listener response and every listener response assigns a value to a feature vector, wherein the feature vector defines a music attribute. The process then compares the plurality of music samples, wherein comparing the feature vectors compares the music sample. Thereafter, the process stores the compared data.

Abstract: A system for searching music, based upon music content that may be described by a plurality of predetermined feature vectors is provided. The system includes a user interface that can receive a plurality of user requests for searching music, wherein the user requests define a set of search parameters. A user enters search parameters into the user interface that allows a user to vary the plural levels of the plural feature vectors. The system further includes a user interface engine that receives the user requests for searching music based upon user chosen feature vector levels, wherein the user interface includes a parser for parsing the user requests. The system also includes an inferential engine that performs a search for music by comparing plural feature vectors.
