Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for locating a relevant product via a computer network includes receiving, at a client terminal, a search topic from a user and one or more attributes associated with the topic and assigning a rating to at least one of the attributes. A server is used to locate, at one or more information locations, at least two separate instances of the topic and at least two information fields, each field related to one of the instances the topic. Content in each of at least two of the information fields is associated with at least one of the attributes and the content in each of the at least two information fields associated with an attribute is compared against each other. A score to the content of each compared instance of content is assigned based on the comparing. The attributes are prioritized and the located instances of the topic are ranked based on the prioritizing and the score of content associated with the topic.

Abstract: A method of locating a relevant product belonging to a category of related products sharing predetermined product attributes is provided. At a client computer, a search topic associated with the category arrives from a user along with user-profile data like demographic, geographic, and situational data. A server locates at information locations some related products within the category, each having the pre-determined set of product attributes having associated content. For each product attribute, the content associated therewith in one of the located products is compared against content associated with the product attribute in each other located product and is assigned a relative score based on the comparison. The shared set of product attributes is prioritized based in part upon relevance of a product attribute to user profile data and the located products are ranked based on the prioritizing and the score of content associated with the product attributes.

Abstract: A method of locating a relevant product belonging to a category of related products sharing pre-determined product attributes is provided. Some related products within the category of related products are located, the located related products having the pre-determined product attributes, the product attributes having associated content. A filtered set of related products is created. For each product attribute, the content associated with the product attribute in one of the filtered set of related products is compared against content associated with the product attribute in each of the other located products and a relative score is assigned based upon the comparison. The shared set of product attributes is prioritized based in part upon relevance of a product attribute to user profile data and the filtered set of related products is ranked based upon the prioritizing and the score of content associated with the product attributes.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing a secure return policy of supply chain for digitally stored products. The method and system verifies whether each product for return originated within the supply chain. If the product did originate within the supply chain and qualifies for return under the supply chain's return policy, the data existing on the physical media is securely rendered unusable. A record of the destruction allows for a reversal of the entire transaction within the supply chain.

Abstract: An intraocular lens comprising a central convex optical portion and two fixation loop appendages extending from the periphery of said optical portion and substantially in the horizontal plane thereof, characterized in that one of said loop appendages is double spring-like and curves from said periphery of said optical portion in a curvilinear "reverse S" shape, and the other said loop appendage extends from the same side of the periphery curving in the opposite direction in a curve from the said optical portion, said other loop appendage defining a curvilinear "C" shape, the outer distance of both loops from the optical portion along its central axis being equal.

Abstract: An intraocular lens made of a hydrogel material, preferably having about 60% water content, and defining a central, preferably bi-convex, optical portion and two oppositely situated, integrally formed, elongate, tapered fixation elements and a method for implanting same.
