Abstract: Method for producing multiply-charged helium nanodroplets and charged dopant clusters and nanoparticles out of the helium nanodroplets, the method comprising: •producing neutral helium nanodroplets in a cold head (1) via expansion of a pressurized, pre-cooled, supersonic helium beam of high purity through a nozzle (3) into high vacuum with a base pressure under operation preferably below 20 mPa, •ionizing the helium nanodroplets by electron impact (15), wherein the electron impact (15) leads to multiply-charged helium nanodroplets, •doping the charged helium nanodroplets with dopant vapor in the pickup cell (19), wherein the doped nanodroplets form cluster ions with the initial charges acting as seeds, wherein the size of the nanoparticles can vary from a few atoms up to 105 atoms by arranging the size of the neutral helium nanodroplets, the charge of the helium nanodroplets and the density of dopant vapor in the pickup cell (19).

Abstract: A system and method for use in managing a system site for e-commerce. The system accepts user input via a wizard to create objects which function to at least retrieve data from a database and accepts user input via a wizard to create scripts which function to at least convert data retrieved by the objects to an HTML stream for real-time transmission to a browser resident on a client computer whereby actual HTML text files need not be created and stored on a Web server.

Abstract: icFoundation is the core of a Web-based Electronic Commerce system. The icFoundation product provides a platform between corporate systems and e-commerce channels with common presentation and navigation, environment management, common standards, error management, auditing, and enhanced security features. One goal of icFoundation is to demonstrate enterprise value by combining three basic standards of Transaction Processing; Scalability, Reliability, and Security. icFoundation specifically takes full advantage of the Pentium class Processor running Windows NT. A single server may easily scale from 8 to 32 processors and multiple servers may be combined into a centralized or distributed architecture. icFoundation is tightly integrated with Microsoft™ Transaction Server (MTS). Integrating MTS into icFoundation provides the assurance that the integrity of data is maintained as it moves across the system. icFoundation uses Secure Sockets Layer technology in order to encrypt and protect data.
