Abstract: Systems and methods for guided vehicle matching are disclosed. In order to generate vehicle recommendations for a user of an electronic vehicle listing service, a plurality of vehicle-related lifestyle options are presented to the user, and a user selection received. Additional data regarding the user's vehicle preferences, requirements, or usage may be obtained. Based upon such information, a set of example vehicles is generated and presented to the user. Each example vehicle has characteristics representing a plurality of other vehicles. Based upon user ratings or selections of at least some of the example vehicles, a plurality of vehicle recommendations for specific available vehicles are generated and presented to the user. In some embodiments, further user interaction with such recommendations is used to refine the vehicle recommendations and identify additional vehicle recommendations.

Abstract: A beverage preparation apparatus that includes a main tray having a first compartment configured to provide a first containment area to store a utensil component, a second compartment configured to provide a second containment area to store a first beverage component, and a third compartment configured to provide a third containment area to store a second beverage component. The main tray includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a handle element. The beverage preparation apparatus also includes a first side tray for receiving a first beverage container and a second side tray for receiving a second beverage container. A first end of each side tray is configured to align flush against each sidewall. Additionally, each sidewall includes an outwardly extending semi-annular flange configured to rest above the first end of each side tray such that a gapless connection is formed between each side tray and each sidewall.

Abstract: A holder for holding a phone on a support structure such as a handlebar of a stroller includes a mount for releasable connection with the support structure. A base is supported on the mount for receiving and supporting the phone. A slider is supported on the base for sliding movement relative to the base between a first position enabling removal of the phone from the holder and at least one clamping position blocking removal of the phone from the holder.

Abstract: A method of detecting a cycle slip in a data string read from a bit patterned media and adjusting the data string to compensate for the cycle slip is disclosed. A system including a writeable data storage medium and a compensator configured to adjust data read from the data storage medium to compensate for a cycle slip during the writing of the data onto the storage medium is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bookmark includes a seamless elastic band which is stretchable to loop around a group of pages in a book and around a cover of the book in order to identify a page place in the book. The band includes a slider thereon which has a front surface are that receives an image which is on one side of a sticker. When a bookmark is placed on a book, the slide is moveable along the elastic band while the elastic band is stationary, so that the slider can be placed at different locations on the cover of the book.

Abstract: A non-invasive method for continuously monitoring blood and tissue oxygenation of a human fetus prior to and during labor and delivery. A specialized NMR spectrometer, whose static-field magnet is large enough to admit the abdomen of a pregnant woman at term, obtains resonance signals from a spatial region within the mother that includes the fetus. Resonance signals originating from the oxygen-transport protein hemoglobin are continuously obtained and analyzed. Signals originating from the special form of hemoglobin found in the fetal circulation are distinguished from those from the adult form of hemoglobin found in the maternal circulation. By continuously comparing the amplitudes of specific fetal hemoglobin resonances that are characteristically shifted upon oxygen binding with the amplitudes of other fetal hemoglobin resonances that are not so shifted, the method yields a continuous measurement of fetal blood and tissue oxygenation.
