US Patent:

20080076504, Mar 27, 2008

Filed:

Aug 22, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/508391

Inventors:

Nicholas G. Jenkins - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

Internet Community & Entertainment Corp. - Seattle WA

International Classification:

A63F 9/24

US Classification:

463 16

Abstract:

An honor-based betting exchange facilitates transactions connected with bets among members of the exchange. A member need not pay his losses but his behaviors on the exchange are tracked by his honor rating. The exchange allows bets to be listed in classes facilitating searches and sorts to be performed. Upselling is possible to attract a large number of bettors. Bet matching software determines redundant bets and bring these bets to the attention of bettors. Although fixed bets are possible, certain bets can be negotiated on the exchange.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/014000, 705/039000

Abstract:

Computer-assisted methods and systems are provided to allow computer network users to be compensated by other users for their commentary posted on the computer network. One method comprises the steps of: inputting commentary of a first user into a computer; and providing a payment from a second user to the first user. Another method comprises the steps of: inputting commentary of a first user into a computer; inputting into the computer a payment identifier specifying a financial account of a second user; allotting pre-paid credits to the second user by charging the second user's financial account for use of the credits; and providing a payment to the first user using the pre-paid credits of the second user. A provided apparatus comprises: a storage device; and a processor connected to the storage device, wherein the processor is operative to receive commentary of a first user, and to provide a payment from a second user to the first user.

Abstract:

Methods of determining a final space reservation for a new aircraft are disclosed. The methods include using parametric definitions of potential payloads to generate a population of representative payloads for use in creating an initial space reservation. The methods include accounting for and applying a variety of margins on each potential payload and taking the union of potential payloads. Alternatively, the union can be taken first and then the margins applied. A homogenous space reservation can be determined based upon a variety of differently shaped or sized payloads, including a margin build-up to mitigate risk of unknowns associated with future changes in specific payload shapes and sizes, build tolerances, environmental conditions, and/or loading and unloading motions and clearances. Once this space reservation is known, it is possible to design an external shape of a carrying vehicle by staying outside of this space reservation.
