Show moreA peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing system is provided with an enhanced search method for a client node therein. A search from the client contains a primary search of metadata words and a secondary search of content file keys taken from the primary search results. The results of the secondary search are then used to rerank the results of the primary search before the client displays the results of the search to the user. Metadata distribution schemes can also be used to further enhance the utility of the system. Enhanced P2P file searching accuracy is thus provided. Applications for selective peer-to-peer communication may further be employed.

Show moreHowell Mountain is a distinct and unique location in the heart of Napa Valley California. The 45 acres site rests on the mountain’s south west slopes and is planted with high quality grapes used in the production of red wine. When the fog rolls off the ocean and into the Napa Valley, the weather on Howell Mountain is generally sunny and cool. The appellation owes its distinctive climate to the fact that it is positioned high above the valley floor. The program includes both the wine production facilities and the hospitality facilities for visitors. The driving concept of the project is to merge those two, often opposing, programmatic elements. From west to east, the site has a 43% grade change. By designing a gravity flow winery, this facility can take advantage of that significant slope.

Show moreA blank for forming a stencil screen for silk screen or electrostatic stencil printing is disclosed. The screen includes a resilient, high tensile strength, porous substrate such as a monofilamentary nylon or stainless steel 200-mesh screen. A light radiation absorbent, self-combustible, ink-resistant, ink-impervious and tough film is applied to the screen, suitably a combustible black nitrocellulose film or a black cellulose ether film containing finely dispersed nitrate or perchlorate. The film is selectively removed by directly pulsing high-intensity light of over 10 joules per square inch for a short duration of 1 to 50 milliseconds in the form of an image pattern to ignite and completely combust the film only in said areas during the duration of the pulse.

Show moreA magnetic transducer head having a coupling gap of controllable effective longitudinal dimension. In one embodiment a gap spacer of magnetic material is energized by bias current and/or signal current during recording while being deenergized during playback to provide a larger coupling gap for recording than for playback. Recording gap size may be controlled dynamically, or a very high frequency bias current such as 100 mhz may be supplied to the magnetic gap spacer. A magnetic head may have a zero gap dimension when the magnetic gap spacer is deenergized to prevent any substantial residual external field. An electro-magnetic transducer head with the electric circuit portion including a path through the electrically conductive magnetic corepiece at the transducer gap, thus concentrating the gap field and mininizing core losses at very high bias or signal frequencies.

Show moreA process and system for continuous crystallization of a compound using antisolvent addition in which a solution is prepared with an organic compound and a solvent. An antisolvent is added to the solution in a continuous plug flow system comprising at least one process module. The antisolvent can be added in multiple addition points such that the overall amount of antisolvent added to the continuous plug flow reactor remains fixed. The multiple addition point technique provides every process module with an equal volume of antisolvent. Finally, crystals are recovered from the slurry upon exiting the system. Preferably, the mean crystal size is less than 100 μm.

Creator: Bridges, Jack E., Taflove, Allen, Sresty, Guggilam C.

Description: An electro-osmotic method for the production of hydrocarbons utilizes in situ heating of earth formations having substantial electrical...
Show moreAn electro-osmotic method for the production of hydrocarbons utilizes in situ heating of earth formations having substantial electrical conductivity. A particular volume of an earth formation is bounded with a waveguide structure formed of respective rows of discrete elongated electrodes in a dense array wherein the active electrode area and the row separation are chosen in reference to the deposit thickness to avoid heating barren layers. Electrical power is applied at no more than a relatively low frequency between respective rows of electrodes to deliver power to the formation while producing relatively uniform heating thereof and limiting the relative loss of heat to adjacent regions to less than a predetermined amount. At the same time the temperature of the electrodes is controlled near the vaporization point of water to maintain an electrically conductive path between the electrodes and the formation. A heat sink is provided by supplying aqueous liquid electrolyte to space between the electrodes and the adjacent formation, thereby maintaining the temperature thereat no greater than about the boiling point of water and maintaining a conductive path between said formation. A d.c. polarized potential is applied to enhance flow of reservoir fluid into a preselected row of electrodes, and collected reservoir fluids are removed from the electrodes in the preselected row.

Show moree.N.U.P.H. is an alternative typology to current suburban tract home sprawl in the American southwest. Retail shops, offices, a supermarket, plaza, and residences are combined in a courtyard building that takes advantage of mountain views to the east and south through gradually sloping forms. As an alternative to suburban homes, emphasis is placed on the generous private outdoor living area of each residence, as well as amenities like the roof, sun, and pool decks. e.N.U.P.H. preserves the Phoenician’s desire for individuality and private space with the liveliness of a public plaza in a sustainable, efficient, and medium-density desert typology.
