摘要： A system is disclosed that generates search results using a transparent search engine. The system enables the sorting and filtering of search listings based upon one or more metrics or categories of information, listed on the search results page as part of a multi-dimensional sort list. The system may also determine relevancy of a document based upon a weighting of the listing metrics corresponding to a given search listing. The system further includes functionality for displaying conversion rates and ancillary information along with the search results. The system also provides the ability to charge for paid advertisements or listings only when an actual transaction takes place, and to display transaction-related data as part of a listing metric associated with a given search listing. By revealing all or some of the underlying data associated with the listings that appears in the search results, the system provides a transparent search engine that advantageously provides focused search results, enhanced sorting and filtering capability and novel arrangements for payment of listings returned by the search engine.
摘要翻译：公开了一种使用透明搜索引擎生成搜索结果的系统。该系统使得能够基于搜索结果页面上列出的作为多维排序列表的一部分的一个或多个信息的度量或类别对搜索列表进行排序和过滤。系统还可以基于对应于给定搜索列表的列表度量的加权来确定文档的相关性。该系统还包括用于显示转换率和辅助信息以及搜索结果的功能。该系统还提供仅当实际交易发生时为付费广告或列表收费的能力，以及作为与给定搜索列表相关联的列表度量的一部分来显示交易相关数据的能力。通过揭示与搜索结果中出现的列表相关联的全部或部分基础数据，系统提供了一个透明的搜索引擎，有利地提供了重点搜索结果，增强的排序和过滤功能以及用于支付搜索返回的列表的新颖安排发动机。

摘要： A search engine for dynamically generating search results for the user is disclosed. In one embodiment, the user submits a first search query for searching a primary database, such as the content obtained from the World Wide Web, and the search engine obtains primary search listings based upon the search query, which search listings are distinguished from banner advertisements. The system then performs a further search of one or more secondary databases. The secondary search is initiated by the user or automatically by the system, based upon one or more search parameters. The secondary databases may include internal databases maintained by a provider of goods or services, databases that are updated in real time, or databases that include data obtained from a variety of different sources. Examples of secondary databases include inventory databases, product information databases, scheduling databases, market-related databases, location databases or any other database. The search engine compiles the primary search results and secondary search results to produce dynamic search results. The system then presents the dynamic search results to the user, advantageously providing enhanced search listings that include both static and dynamic content relevant to the user's interests and needs.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于为用户动态生成搜索结果的搜索引擎。在一个实施例中，用户提交用于搜索主数据库的第一搜索查询，例如从万维网获得的内容，并且搜索引擎基于搜索查询获取主搜索列表，哪些搜索列表与横幅广告区分开。然后，系统进一步搜索一个或多个辅助数据库。辅助搜索由用户发起，或者基于一个或多个搜索参数由系统自动启动。辅助数据库可以包括由商品或服务提供商，实时更新的数据库或包含从各种不同来源获得的数据的数据库维护的内部数据库。辅助数据库的示例包括清单数据库，产品信息数据库，调度数据库，市场相关数据库，位置数据库或任何其他数据库。搜索引擎编辑主要搜索结果和辅助搜索结果以产生动态搜索结果。然后系统向用户呈现动态搜索结果，有利地提供增强的搜索列表，其包括与用户的兴趣和需要相关的静态和动态内容。

摘要： A delivery assurance system for ensuring that people have an opportunity to view messages shared by authors to which they subscribe is disclosed. The delivery assurance system is configured to communicate with at least one author and a plurality of followers associated with the at least one author. The system in the preferred embodiment comprises a computer processor configured to receive a post from an author; transmit a first copy of the post to a plurality of users; determine if any of the plurality of users did not see the post; automatically transmit a second copy of the post to each of the plurality of users that did not see the first copy of the post; and remove the first copy of the post from a timeline of each user to which a second copy of the post was transmitted. Transmission of multiple copies of the messages, therefore, enables users to see a message regardless of when the author initially transmitted it.

摘要： An energy storage apparatus for storing energy transmitted by a power transmission line includes an elastically deformable component and an actuator-generator. The actuator-generator is coupled to the elastically deformable component such that electrical actuation of the actuator-generator generates tension in the elastically deformable component. The actuator-generator is further coupled to the elastically deformable component such that mechanical actuation of the actuator-generator via a release of tension in the elastically deformable component causes a generation of electrical energy by the actuator-generator.

摘要： Wind screens for reducing wind loading on one or more solar collectors are disclosed. The wind screens move with the solar collector as the collector tracks the sun in one or more dimensions. The wind screen pivotably connects to at least one solar panel of the collector. Another side of the wind screen may connect to the ground or to an adjacent collect, thus serving to divert wind over the collector. Wind screens may be made of various materials including rigid, flexible, or elastic materials and can change position, orientation, and/or effective length as the one or more collectors track the sun from East to West.

The concentrator preferably includes one or more optical elements for directing light to a receiver, a camera for capturing an image of the optical elements, and a controller configured to: detect the orientation of the one or more optical elements from the one or more images, determine an orientation error based on the detected orientation, and automatically orient the one or more optical elements to minimize the orientation error. The optical elements generally comprise a plurality of mirrors or lenses arranged in a one or two dimensional array.

摘要： The invention is a system and method for heliostat mirror control. Here, each heliostat mirror generates a low intensity “signal beam”, directed at an angle off from the heliostat mirror's high intensity and sensor blinding “main beam” of reflected solar energy. The low intensity signal beams may be created by reflecting a small portion of the incident solar light at an angle from the main beam, by reflected artificial light, or from lasers shinning onto mirrors from known locations. The signal beams are detected by optical sensors mounted way from the main heliostat receiver focus, and can be used in a closed loop control system to efficiently ensure that individual heliostat mirrors in a heliostat array accurately track sunlight and direct the sunlight to a central receiver. Because heliostat mirrors need not be taken “off sun” for positioning, the system allows heliostat arrays to be run at high efficiency.
摘要翻译：本发明是用于定日镜控制的系统和方法。这里，每个定日镜反射镜产生一个低强度的“信号光束”，指向与定日镜反射镜的高强度和传感器盲目反射的太阳能的“主光束”成一定角度。低强度信号光束可以通过将入射的太阳光的一小部分与主光束，通过反射的人造光反射一角度，或者从从已知位置发射到反射镜上的激光器反射而产生。信号光束通过从主要定日镜接收器焦点安装的光学传感器来检测，并且可以用于闭环控制系统中，以有效地确保定日镜阵列中的各个定日镜反射镜准确地跟踪阳光并将阳光引导到中央接收器。由于日光反射镜不需要“太阳”进行定位，所以系统允许定日镜阵列以高效率运行。
