  • Patent number: 10977712
    Abstract: In providing product reviews relevant to a specific user, a server determines that a user is viewing a current product on a website. The website includes a plurality of product reviews for the current product. In response, the server automatically collects criteria specifically for the user, where the criteria describe the current and past website browsing behavior of the user. The server applies weights to one or more of the criteria, where the weights are specific to the user. The server ranks the plurality of product reviews based on the weighted criteria and sends the rankings of the plurality of product reviews to a web server hosting the website. The plurality of product reviews is displayed on the website according to the rankings. The relevancy rankings can vary between users and thus the display of the most relevant product reviews can vary between users.

  • Publication number: 20060064585
    Abstract: A client computer runs an operating system that executes additional applications by loading them using an application loader and executes device drivers for peripheral devices by loading the drivers using a device loader. The operating system restricts the functionality of the operating system, such as by making selected portions and functionality of the operating system unavailable to the user or by limiting the user's ability to add software applications or device drivers to the computer.

  • Patent number: 5484219
    Abstract: A compliancy joint for a robot has six degrees of compliancy freedom and comprises a housing having an inner ring. A float block is movably disposed in the interior of the housing and a plurality of circumferentially arranged pneumatic cylinders on the housing apply force circumferentially to the float block. Sensors are used to detect when the float block is near its compliancy limit and a controller is operatively connected to the sensors and the cylinders for preventing the float block from reaching its compliancy limit. This joint is able to break away from the robot should the robot exceed the device's compliancy limit, preventing damage to the robot and robot end of arm tooling.
