Sampo: I disagree that no such applications exist. Below is our standard collateral, which if you read it, will show just such a commercial application. As a demo corpus, we use Wikipedia, which to the Correlation Technology Platform (and a user posing an N-Dimensional Query) is not 3.5 million documents, or even 10 million pages, but rather 280 million essential knowledge fragments - the true knowledge payload of Wikipedia. Carl ------------------------------------------------ Correlation Technology has evolved into a powerful, server-based application platform capable of handling complex, N-Dimensional Queries against a "corpus" of millions of documents with one-second response times.Make Sence Florida, Inc., our US subsidiary, picked up the challenge of commercializing Correlation Technology - and has delivered a fantastic success. Additionally, in an exciting new development, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has published "Notices of Allowance" for our foundational Correlation Technology patents. And, we also received the Notice of Allowance for our "Notes" patent -- which describes what is basically an app that takes in a document, web page or other text object (of any size), and automatically extracts all the human-reviewer-type "notes" possible from that document, web page or text object. So we're certainly going to move quickly toward commercialization for that technology. We appreciate this opportunity to share with you this Correlation Technology news, and have provided the links below to the standard information packet Make Sence Florida Inc. provides to all parties interested in the commercialization of Correlation Technology. These links to PDF document content on our website www.correlationconcepts.com <http://www.correlationconcepts.com/> include descriptions of what exactly Correlation Technology is, how it works, and some business applications of Correlation Technology. For example, we have included dossiers on Correlation Technology impact in the Market Research and Recruitment vertical markets. For the greatest possible comprehension, I recommend that you read these documents in the following sequence: *Correlation Technology Introduction <http://www.correlationconcepts.com/Correlation_Technology_Introduction.pdf>* /Correlation Technology is not a microwave oven. It is very complicated. It is difficult to understand. This basic overview explains how humans use natural correlation all the time, and how Make Sence, Inc. has harnessed this power to create a new class of dynamic business solutions./ // *An Annotated Demonstration of Correlation Technology <http://www.correlationconcepts.com/An_Annotated_Demonstration_of_Correlation_Technology.pdf>* /This is an under-the-hood look at the Correlation Technology Platform in action. All of Wikipedia's 3.5 million articles have been converted to "Knowledge Fragments." Frame-by-frame, with in-depth notations, Correlation Technology is used in this actual online demonstration to reveal how connections from "population density" to "terrorism" are discovered and presented./ // *Business Model for Commercialization of Correlation Technology <http://www.correlationconcepts.com/Business_Model_for_Commercialization_of_Correlation_Technology.pdf>* /The US Census Bureau has identified more than 2,600 vertical markets active in the United States and Canada. Make Sence, Inc. estimates that at least 200 of these vertical markets provide opportunities for profitable Correlation Technology solutions. This describes vertical market discovery and validation, and lists the types of business relationships we expect to forge with candidate companies as licensees, partners and spin-offs./ // *Market Research Dossier <http://www.correlationconcepts.com/Market_Research_Dossier.pdf>* /This is a no-nonsense business-to-business document containing an in-depth analysis of the market research industry, its competitive landscape, major players, and complete SWOT analysis. Specific problems currently facing the industry are identified, and the disruptive impact of Correlation Technology when used to provide new dynamic solutions to traditional market research challenges./ ** *Recruitment Dossier <http://www.correlationconcepts.com/Recruitment_Dossier.pdf>* /Same as above, but for the recruitment vertical market./ *Correlation Technology Initiatives List <http://www.correlationconcepts.com/Correlation_Technology_Initiatives_List.pdf>* /A number of uses for Correlation Technology have already been identified. This two page document lists those uses already being pursued by Make Sence, Inc. with interested parties around the world. We also identify general areas of expertise which we know represent rich opportunities for Correlation Technology solutions. / I look forward to any interest and feedback pertaining to this packet. Enclosed in all the above documents are direct contacts to Make Sence, Inc. executives.
