Patent number: 10362437Abstract: In some implementations, methods for selecting a set of beacons that are to be monitored by a mobile device may be employed. Specifically, an optimal set of beacons to monitor may be provided to a mobile device depending on particular groups of beacons that are in proximity to the mobile device, the distance from the mobile device to each of the particular groups of beacons, and the mobile device's position/movements as provided by a tracking service such as GPS. These techniques may ensure that the mobile device is not blind to the closest and/or most relevant beacons.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Perfect Sense Digital LLCInventors: Bryan Morgan, Peter Dupris, David Gang

Patent number: 10264297Abstract: In some implementations, a system is capable of dynamically associating content streams to improve a user's viewing experience while accessing primary content. To accomplish this, the CMS uses content association data assigning secondary content items to the primary content. Secondary content items can be assigned to designated frames of the primary content so that the secondary content items are presented to user at specified time points during the playback of the primary content. Secondary content items can represent content that is related to the subject matter of the primary content, or content that a user may be interested in accessing while viewing the primary content.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Perfect Sense, Inc.Inventors: David Gang, Bryan Morgan

Patent number: 9876873Abstract: In some implementations, caching techniques may be employed by a web server that receives various requests from remotely-located client devices, retrieves requested results from an on-site database server, and transmits the results back to the client devices. These caching techniques generally relate to caching retrieved results at the web server such that the web server may be able to directly provide client devices with results without having to retrieve them from the database server every time a request is received. Application of these techniques may improve response times and provide back-end bandwidth savings.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2015Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Perfect Sense, Inc.Inventors: Charles Teague, David Gang, Hyoo Lim, Jeremy Collins

Publication number: 20170300485Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus relate to technologies generally relating to the placement of hyperlinks within the body of text of a document. The placement of hyperlinks can be on specified words or phrases, according to a specified link distribution function across the body of the text content of a document. Some techniques involve a method for determining a placement of links on a document that involves selecting a document comprising words of text for placing links in the document, selecting a link distribution function, and using the link distribution function in determining locations for the placement of the links in the document. The placement of hyperlinks in the document may be automatically performed on a server side.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Brendan Brelsford, David Gang

Patent number: 9563708Abstract: A “buddy member match” feature is directed to matching computer users of like interests, particularly computer users who are members of an online service provider. In general, a member (the match recipient) may update or create a member profile maintained by a service provider such as AOL. Once the match recipient has a member profile, a search is initiated to identify matching members by comparing the member profile of the match recipient to the member profiles of other members. Matching members are other members whose member profiles have at least one personal attribute matching an attribute of the match recipient's member profile. When contact information of the matching member is displayed, the contact information is accompanied by an indication that the contact information belongs to a matching member.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: AOL Inc.Inventor: David Gang

Patent number: 7656301Abstract: An air-cooled electronic component cabinet has an air sampling conduit to enable smoke detection from air from different areas within the cabinet. An air sampling conduit has one or more orifices to sample air from the different areas within the cabinet, such as adjacent different electronic chassis assemblies or enclosures stacked in a rack within the cabinet. An axial fan or blower draws air samples into the conduit, or the air samples are drawn in by operation of convection or other airflow established within the cabinet. In the air sampling conduit, the air samples are mixed and conveyed for sampling by one or more smoke detection devices mounted, e.g., within the conduit, or within an attached expansion joint section to reduce the airflow velocity or accommodate multiple smoke detection devices. Orifices in the air sampling conduit varying in size or number at different conduit areas regulate associated sampled air proportions.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2005Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventor: David Gang Wang
