A unique method for determining compatibility between people who, in the preferred embodiment, utilize an interactive internet dating service. Users complete a compatibility questionnaire, first describing themselves and then describing their “ideal match” on questionnaire items whose response options vary between two extremes. The user defines a search based upon demographic information for an “ideal match.” The pool of completed self assessment questionnaires of current users is searched by the computer utilizing the search parameters defined by the user. Pearson correlation coefficients are computed upon the items in the users “ideal match” questionnaire and the pool of self assessment questionnaires defined by the search. The “ideal matches” are ranked and reported as percentile scores that are obtained from a norm group of correlation coefficients for each gender. Percentile scores are also reported in similar manner for each content scale of the compatibility questionnaire. The user is able to search for an “ideal match” utilizing separate content scales from the compatibility questionnaire as well as with combinations of content scales from the questionnaire.

In a cup seal, the hydraulic pressure in a first hydraulic chamber (6) causes a first seal portion (21e) of an outer lip portion (21c) to closely contact to a bottom wall (20a) of a recessed portion (20) and causes a second seal portion (21f) of a base portion (21a) to closely contact to a rear surface (20b) of the recessed portion (20). A double seal due to the first and second seal portions (21e) and (21f) reliably prevents the leakage of a brake fluid from the first hydraulic chamber (6). If the pressure becomes negative in the first hydraulic chamber (6), the tip portion of the outer lip portion (21c) deflects inward and the outer peripheral end of the base portion (21a) deflects forward. Therefore, the brake fluid in the reservoir flows into the first hydraulic chamber (6) through the gaps among the second and first seal portions (21f), (21e) and the wall surface of the recessed portion (20) to maintain fluid-feeding performance.
