Abstract: The method is for routing a customer call placed in response to an advertisement. An advertisement including a telephone number is placed on the Internet to enable a customer to view the advertisement over the Internet. The customer may then place a telephone call via a telephone or the Internet. A routing device routes the telephone call to a particular vendor. The particular vendor, to which the call is routed, is selected based on a bid made to a provider of the phone number.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a system for “snooping” on an Internet user's, or group of users' linking behavior though a web site or related pages, and statistically compiling such information, such that it is useful for presentation as the typical or average consumer or surfer experience on that site. Various embodiments of the invention allow for the system to record temporal and spatial aspects of the experience for a target group (by income, age, surfing behavior, condition precedent, etc.) of users and to specifically identify weak links or otherwise undesired behavior from surfers by finding specific statistical deviations. The identifiable strengths and weakness of a site can be identified and presented as executive summaries in a “simulated surfing” presentation format.

Abstract: The present invention provides an Internet search engine system and method that improves searching for documents or pages by processing the characteristics of a pool of data through a neural network governed by a set of rules and fuzzy logic applications. The rules and applications may be implemented at the input (or low) level or the computational/output (or high) level. Search terms and personal and situational data may activate various rule sets, and learning from human and machine feedback adjust and recombine the rule sets to improve accuracy for future searches as well as reduce computation time.

Abstract: The present invention provides a virtual system that assists in the procurement of advertising on an Internet vendor site for the sale of products or services. The system links to a user's financial package to get data on the products or services and allows the user to set financial parameters based on the desired financial goals related to the product and advertising. Performance data regarding advertising is accessed and financial rules generated which are applied to generate a target price for advertising or one or more products. The system can acquire advertising automatically or assist in the submission of bids in an auction of advertising. In a preferred embodiment, keywords are purchased on a search engine in an auction.

Abstract: A configurable electrode instrument for use in loop electrical excision procedures for removal of damaged tissue by allowing for a peeling of the epithelium of the ectocervix rather than a deep stromal excision. The instrument has an elongate main body member with an endocervical portion contiguous to, integrally connected to and extending therefrom. A contact portion extends from the elongate main body member for operative engagement with an electro-surgical device. The endocervical portion has a laterally oriented stop arm contiguous to the elongate main body member and a longitudinal member extending from the stop arm and elongate main body member. The stop arm limits the depth of insertion of the endocervical portion into an endocervix. The stop arm is hingedly connected to the elongate main body member.

Abstract: A laparoscopic electrosurgical instrument which has the capability to grasp, fulgurate, and cut tissue. The laparoscopic electrosurgical instrument has an electrically insulative longitudinal body having a proximal and distal end, and a housing at the distal end. A pair of grasping conductors extend longitudinally from the housing, the conductors being spaced apart in substantially parallel actuatable relationship, and each of the conductors also has a slot therein. A pair of scissors-like cutting members also extends from the housing from between the pair of conductors, and each of the cutting members has a proximal and distal end, with the proximal ends each pivotally connected to the housing and each distal end extending laterally through one of the slots of the pair of conductors. The proximal ends of the cutting member are in actuatable relationship to each other.
