  • Publication number: 20090198666
    Abstract: An affinity matching system and method for identifying nearby users with shared affinities including a data processing system comprising a computer program tangibly embodied on a memory device. The computer program includes an affinity user group preprocessing module configured to define at least one affinity user group, each affinity user group comprising a plurality of user profiles of users having matching affinities. The preprocessed affinity user groups are available for processing by the affinity matching system in response to match queries in real-time. The user profile includes an affinity profile of a user. The computer program also includes a request module configured to accept an affinity request, the affinity request comprising a match query.

  • Patent number: 5573684
    Abstract: A method of producing a marking on diamond, pearl, precious or semi-precious stone. For producing the marking, the region on the surface to be marked is irradiated with an ArF excimer laser whose output beam is passed through a mask which defines the marking. Identification or security marks may be created. The same process can be used to produce strong and durable extrusion dies having irregular cross sections, and cross sections which vary with depth through the die material.

  • Patent number: 5149938
    Abstract: A method of producing a marking on a diamond. For producing the marking, the region on the surface of the diamond which is to be marked is irradiated with an argon fluorine excimer laser whose output beam is passed through a mask which defines the marking. The diamond selectively absorbs the excimer laser radiation and undergoes a partial allotropic transformation without losing its diamond crystal lattice configuration.
