Abstract: We disclose a method for a bilingual search engine producing a top list of concordances ranked by information content, controlled by a query of key words extended with parameters specifying the length of the concordances, the depth of the Internet search and a language of choice for a computer-generated translation of the results. Concordances are ranked by Shannon information using the method of van Putten, U.S. 2013/0191365 and accompanied by images extracted from the originating web pages. The method is particularly useful in creating universal access to the mostly English information on the World Wide Web.

Abstract: A wild-life registration system is described for tracking migration trajectories. The system consists of a wireless network of smart multi-sensors with GPS. The sensors include digital threshold control and data compression. An ad-hoc routing protocol allows the network to be fault-tolorant, scalable and adaptive. Tracking trajectories—finite curves in the plane—minimizes the required number of sensors to N≅106(A/106 km2)(r/50 m)−1(d/km)−1, where r denotes the radius of detection sensitivity of the sensors and d the desired interpolation distance d of trajectories, given a desired surface area coverage A. The preferred embodiment uses silicon integrated multi-sensors housed in a rugged probe for insertion into or placement on the natural soil, equipped with stand-alone power supply. The preferred method of employment uses aerial droppings by plane.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing uniform heating and cooling using an electrically and, thermally conductive liquid or ionized gas as a heat transfer medium. The fluid is enclosed within a chamber defined by a top plate, a bottom plate, and a surrounding rim. Azimuthal motion is imparted to the fluid by passing a current between an electrode which is centrally positioned in the bottom plate and a continuous ring electrode which is positioned circumferentially around the bottom plate. Rolling motion, which causes the fluid to shear over the top and bottom plates, is imparted to the fluid by sequentially passing a current between a plurality of opposing electrode pairs positioned circumferentially around the upper plate in the presence of an axially aligned magnetic field produced by a magnet positioned beneath the lower plate.
