Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to acquiring information from the worldwide web, organizing information acquired from the worldwide web, and using the acquired and organized information to facilitate web-page searching, web-page browsing, and other worldwide-web-based activities. In one embodiment of the present invention, a database of concept objects is created from an initial set of semantic objects and from hyperlink information obtained from web pages by one or more web crawlers. The initial set of semantic objects is processed using hyperlink based objects created by the web crawler. The processed semantic objects are then associated with additional hyperlink-based objects to create a concept-object database.

Abstract: A tool is disclosed for forming an article in a molding operation. The tool includes a first layer with a forming surface for forming the article. The first layer is formed from a first material having a hardness or corrosion resistance sufficient for the forming operation. The second layer is affixed to the first layer for collectively forming a tool body. The second layer is formed from a second material having different material properties than that of the first material, and the second material has sufficient structural integrity for withstanding stresses of the tool body during the forming operation. A tool is also disclosed having a series of laminate sheets collectively providing a portion of the tool body. Another sheet is affixed to the laminate sheets with a homogenous forming surface for forming the article in the molding operation.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a tool for forming an article in a molding operation has a tool body formed from a non-particulate material, with a particulate material bonded to the body. The body provides a forming surface for forming the article. The particulate material, or the particulate material and the tool body collectively provide a duct for conveying a fluid for transfer of heat with the forming surface. In another embodiment, the tool has a tool body formed from a non-particulate material with a cavity and the particulate material is disposed within the cavity. A heat transfer material is disposed in the cavity bonding the particulate material to the tool body. Methods for manufacturing such tools are also disclosed.

Abstract: A tool, such as tools 10, 50, 100 having voids, such as voids 18, 20 which may be selectively and substantially filled with copper or some other conductive material, such as material 30, effective to allow heat to be dissipated from a tangible item formation surface, such as surfaces 14, 54, 104. Also, a methodology to produce such tools 10, 50, 100 is presented.

Abstract: A tool is provided for forming an article in a molding operation with a body formed with a forming surface for forming the article. A heat transfer material is mounted to the tool body, spaced apart from the forming surface, and formed from a material having a coefficient of thermal conductivity that is greater than that of the tool body. The heat transfer material and/or the tool body collectively provide a duct for conveying a fluid for heat transfer with the forming surface. Another tool is disclosed for forming an article in a molding operation with a tool body formed from a plurality of laminate sheets of a first material. The tool body includes a forming surface and a cavity. A heat transfer material having a coefficient of thermal conductivity greater than that of the first material is disposed within the cavity for transferring heat from the forming surface.

Abstract: A method and a tangible item 10 which is produced by the use of various softly created sectional members, such as membered 12, 14, 16, which are selectively and softly and selectively moved or rotated, in whole or in part, used to create physical sectionals, and then the physical sections are moved or rotated and use to selectively construct the physical item 10.

Abstract: A text mining program is provided that allows a user to perform text mining operations, such as: information retrieval, term and document visualization, term and document clustering, term and document classification, summarization of individual documents and groups of documents, and document cross-referencing. This is accomplished by representing the text of a document collection using subspace transformations. This subspace transformation representation is performed by: constructing a term frequency matrix of the term frequencies for each of the documents, transforming the term frequencies for statistical purposes, and projecting the documents or the terms into a lower dimensional subspace. As the document collection is updated, the subspace is dynamically updated to reflect the new document collection.
